The course
Description
The golf course at Heritage golf club is a par 72 course which stretches to
7,319 yards off the championship tees. It boasts eighteen holes but, uniquely, water hazards come in to play on ten of them. This comes as a result of the course being built around five lakes and a river.

The course was expertly designed with 98 challenging bunkers and over
7000 trees, meaning that the course is as challenging as it is enjoyable. Guests might find the course's caddie hiring facility helpful in order to negotiate around all of these challenging elements.
