About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6976 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.3

Heritage Isles is a scenic course that cut through native cypress heads and natural wetland areas. At 6,976 yards from the tips, it is one of the most demanding public golf courses in the Bay area. While water does come into play on all 18 holes the premium has been put on the short game. With large, meticulously maintained greens, those players who are handy on the putting surface should be able to shave a few strokes off their scores.

Beautiful course! From the fairways to the green, everything was in exceptional condition. The only thing that caused me to rate it 4 stars instead of 5 is the pro shop. To say the guy working moved at a snail’s pace would be an insult to snails. Took him at least 15 minutes per person to check people in. Other than that though, the course was great and the golf was fantastic

I think the Majority of Tampa plays this course!!

Don’t get a late T time you won’t finish this course .iIts nice from driving range to overall playability the pace of play is slower then molasses I had to skip holes when I got to the back nine just to save daylight!! I was behind the slowest twosome in Florida who took twenty minutes each shot and they barely can hit the ball They should have let me play through when I practically drove the green three times on them with a 3 wood oh well won’t play here again till I get an early T time!!!

I played with one ball and shot a 43 in the front and a 42 in the back. Greens were fast. Paired with really nice people. I would play there again.

Heritage Isles - Pace

Not many courses are worth playing at a 6 hour pace. This definitely isn't. Couldn't get my cart until 5 minutes before my tee time and waited 10 minutes at every stroke. Unless you get a time for pennies or have all day to goof around, steer clear.

Also, theres no Golf Pass benefit. The pro shop attendant had no clue what I was talking about.

Good greens, good value

Working on the course some new sod on greens and areas around the course. But didn’t come into play for us. Good shape considering all the rain we’ve had

Used cart

Golf now doesn't advertise Cart return time

Was very excited to play this course. Got there and checked in and the employee in the pro shop told us carts need to be back by 545pm. He also mentioned that they were busy and play was backed up. He didn't offer an alternative solution or any advice about how to proceed just told us where to get the cart and check in with the starter. The started was out there but not monitoring play on the course that was extremely slow. I wish there would have been a ranger moving things along or we had the option to possibly start on the back 9 instead of waiting to tee off on the front 9. If golf now had advertised that carts needed to be back by 545 I would have approached the situation differently and booked an earlier tee time. The guy in the pro shop could have offered us to take a rain check on the back 9 or something of the sorts since he knew we paid for 18 holes and would not get to play them. For that reason I gave it a poor value for the money because I paid for 18 holes and only got to play 12, which in my opinion is a bit of a scam.

Not a bad course. Probably overpriced. Tee boxes ok. Couldn’t play sand traps. Layout ok. No GPS on carts. Have been looking for courses around Tampa. Probably won’t play again. Nothing real negative.

Don’t acknowledge GolfPass Plus Benefits, Overpriced & Unfriendly Staff

Paid full price when several greens were under repair and in bad shape. Beware of interference from groundskeeping all over the fairways when trying to play. No starter and pace of play was terrible. Extremely rude and unprofessional staff in Pro Shop. The staff does not acknowledge GolfPass plus benefits like free BOGO range balls, or free same day replay. Definitely my first and last time playing this course. There are plenty of other much more well run and maintained courses in the area for these prices. Save yourself some time and frustration!
