Par 72
Length 6898 yards
Slope 129
Rating 73.5

The Heritage Harbor Golf Club measures nearly 7,000 yards from the back tees and is one of the more challenging public course layouts in the Tampa Bay area. Four sets of tees have been incorporated into the design, making the course fun for golfers of all skill levels. The swirling winds and strategically located bunkers will play havoc with the players of these finely manicured links. However, the large greens may provide some relief. The premium on the championship course has been placed mainly on the short game. Winding through natural areas and cypress heads, Heritage Harbor Golf Club offers many scenic, unobstructed views. Seven of the eighteen holes have no homesites adjacent to the fairways, offering great, uncluttered golf.

Hidden Gem for a steal

Heritage Harbor might be one of the least expensive courses in the greater Tampa area and I have to say, you wouldn’t know judging by the conditions and overall experience we just had in February 2024.

The driving range is all water which is fun but it can make dialing in yardages a bit challenging. Either way, the grass was in great shape in addition to chipping and putting green.

The course itself was a fun layout, not too difficult but a little quirky in some areas. Plenty of variety though to keep it interesting. The tees and greens were all in fantastic shape. The fairways were a little thin but that didn’t make a huge difference for our round. The gentleman in the shop said that the greens and tees can use reclaimed water from the ponds on the range and course which is why they’re in such good shape. The fairways are not approved to use reclaimed water which is why they aren’t as good. (Hopefully I remembered all that correctly?)

Anyways, pace was great, and we had a good time. I will say for $20, the rentals were cheapest around but they were mostly mix and match sets. One set of irons we had were Ping Eyes (released 1980?) all the way up to our newest club which was a Callaway Rogue driver (2017?). Again, didn’t deter our round but in case you are wondering what you’re renting here.

Overall, this place is a steal of a price and greens that would beat or at least match almost any course in the area.

Good course layout until………

Our foursome of 2 couples had an enjoyable round of golf until the last hole. The hazard before the green on the 18th is a bad joke for any golfer wishing a happy ending to an otherwise excellent day.

Always enjoy this course…. BUT

They really need a Marshall!!! There were two groups of four and 3 twosomes behind them beginning at hole 4.

There were NO MANNERS/Common course courtesies shown, whatsoever, by the golfers. The foursomes took their sweet time and NEVER offered the twosomes to play through, even when we were sitting waiting at the tee box behind them.

Love the course but please spend a few dollars and have someone check pace of play, at least once an hour!

It's a Good Value

The greens were slow but beautifully green and rolled true...just far slower than I usually play. The tee boxes were nice. The fairways need some loving! They desperately need aeration, fertilizer and thicker grass then this course would be really nice. Overall, it's a Good Value, especially during high winter rates.
