Was bombarded with Underpar emails last week and one of them was Heritage for $25 per player. Hadn't played there yet so I decided to check it out. Very nice course. Wide open with a slight links feel.

Tee boxes were nice and level with minimal divot damage. Fairways were in great shape. Lush, green, with very minimal divot damage. What there was had been properly filled. Rough was great as well. Lush, green, balls sat up nicely allowing for good recovery. Sand was a fine mix of fluffy top layer and slightly damp bottom layer. Was in three and out in one try from each, "so I got that going for me, which is nice!" Finished the round in just over 4 hours. Its a semi-private course so you cant view tee times on line. You will have to call the pro shop. Very enjoyable layout. Will be back!

Had to play the last of the PGA courses in La Quinta so headed out 8/20 on a whim. Arrived at 9:30am and was able to tee off alone. That lasted until the 3rd hole. There was a 6 group tournament ahead playing hackers golf and not playing best ball!

Course was in good shape tee to green. As always, Mr. Dye putts together a very challenging course! IMO its a much better layout than the Dunes. Will be fun to play it again now that I'm familiar with the layout. My favorite of the 5 courses is the Norman course.

Tees were level with minor divot damage. Fairways were great. Balls sat up nice in the rough which was strange because its the same grass as the Stadium course and it seems to disappear there! Traps were good with just enough sand to get underneath the ball. Only a few had an upper crust. Greens were firm, rolled straight but were slow. Greens need to be a little furry this time of the year to beat the heat.

Based on Sparkys review, I thought I would give this course a try. What a treat! Tee'd off at 12:30 on 8/13/16. Scenery was great! Not many long holes but each one was challenging. Almost every hole plays up hill or down with Dye like hilly grass/sand bunkers protecting the greens. Tee boxes were a little thick with divot wear. Fairways were in good shape. Rough was good as well but sometimes penal when the ball drops straight down into the bermuda. Was only in one bunker thankfully. Seemed like a mixture of tan sand/dirt. Greens were firm and smooth but were rolling on the slow side. Will definitely be back!
