What you are paying for at Heritage Golf Club
The pedigree
Dan Maples
A Lowcountry layout that opened in 1986 and plays to a par of 71 over 6,960 yards.
The test
Slope 145
A slope of 145 over 6,960 yards from the tips. The back tees are a genuine examination for a scratch player, and the forward sets keep everyone else moving.
The greens
Bermuda
Putting surfaces are Bermuda. The practice ground carries a chipping green, a driving range and a putting green, so the speed is no surprise on the first green.
The verdict
4.5 out of 5

The course
The golf at Heritage Golf Club
Heritage is a par 71 layout of 6,960 yards on Bermuda greens, and the slope of 145 is the number that matters. Set against a par one under the norm and a yardage that is not extreme, that rating points to a course where accuracy is priced higher than distance.

The course record is 68, held by Mark Calcavecchia, which is a useful measure of how the layout defends itself. A tour winner going three under par is not a scoring record that suggests an easy day. Practice facilities are complete, with a chipping green, driving range and putting green on site at 478 Heritage Drive.
Review evidence is limited. Twelve reviews are on file with an average of 3.42, and no detailed star split or review language is available. That sample is too small to say anything reliable about current conditioning or service, so the case for Heritage rests on the design numbers rather than on golfer consensus.

Greens under maintenance
Greens were punched and very slow
Good course design, but course has not been maintained—would not play again
Shockingly bad conditions. I've played here 2x before and thought was 1 of the nicest courses I'd ever been on so to see in this state is really sad.

Wow, a beautiful course and experience. The o Ly down side are the dry and ugly tee offs
course was a little spotty. Tee boxes not great.
The course was in excellent shape again and has a great layout. We always include it in our list to play. Having breakfast, lunch and two beers included is an added bonus. The pace of play was ok. The only negative was that we barely made it into the clubhouse in time to order our lunch as the staff wanted to close the kitchen at 3pm. They were still professional but clearly would have preferred to shut down. Since we cannot control the pace of play ahead of us, I will request an earlier tee time next year to avoid this issue.
First time here and absolutely loved.
Beautiful golf course!! Really friendly staff, beautiful club house, and really good food!!
Running 20 minutes late - Lack of marshall courage created a 5.5 hour round. Course in good shape.
This was the second straight day for cart path only. I popped my knee out on the eighth hole. I could not finish.
Tee boxes were in kept golf course not in good shape
Did not play due to frost delay at caledonia. We have vouchers to come back.
Enjoyed the golf. Nice course to play.
best shape in years, pace of play much improved
Just fun to play
Great Staff....Great Lunch......pace of play was awesonme
Best course we play all week
We are from NJ and flew down to play some Myrtle Beach Golf for a long weekend. First off, I love this course and chose to play this course again, but it seemed like it was over booked. The course was in good shape. We were teamed up with another 2some. Our 4some waited at every tee box to tee off making for (another) looong day of golf. Our tee time was for 9:56am and we didn’t finish until 3:20pm. At 3:20 we walked into the clubhouse-Hungry-for our included free lunch only to be told “the kitchen closed at 3pm” at which time were were offered either a hot dog or a pre-made sandwich sealed in a plastic container sitting in a small fridge and a small bag of chips. I took a hot dog and my son took a sandwich. As we were finishing up the hot dog and sandwich, at 3:35pm, a Server walks out of the back with a full large tray of hot Cheeseburgers and French fries on plates and proceeds to serve a group of golfers (6) sitting next to us. How hard would it have been for the Bartender to run in the back to add 2 more hot cheeseburgers/fries to the Cook after I told her our round included lunch off the menu? However, she didn’t care at all-NOT COOL! This was a total let down after paying for the golf package that INCLUDED a nice lunch off the menu. This was not appreciated at all.
Golf staff were great the restaurant staff were terrible. Golf course was good
Enjoyed the course
beautiful course. over 6 hour round. started on hole 10 even when tee times were made 359 days in advance
Absolutely terrible that tee times are scheduled at 8 minute intervals. Waited on every shot. A rush atmosphere that was not acceptable
Great course, but 30 mins late teeing off and 5 hour round
wonderful course
Lot of blind shots
I gave a 3 as my rating. This has nothing to do with the course or most of the staff. When we arrived we were greeted by the golf staff and they were pleasant and helpful. The golf course was in decent shape and it was challenging. My only issue with Heritage was the restaurant/Bar staff. Part of our package included breakfast lunch and two beers. We arrived on time to golf but did not have time for breakfast. When I inquired in the restaurant about using the breakfast coupon for a breakfast bar, I was told by a very rude employee we can't and I must pay for the $5 breakfast bar. I paid for the breakfast bar and moved on. At the end of our round we decided to use the lunch coupon. When we entered the restaurant it was full and we were greeted by the same rude employee. We were told to sit in the adjacent room and that we had 5 minutes to order or we would not be able to use the coupons. The employee taking our order was not very nice and when they took our order they became rude. We were not doing anything to cause this rudeness and it was a complete turn off.
Pace of play was slow
Course in good shape, greens were a bit slow
Course was in really good shape with very minor poa on the greens. The scenery and landscaping there was tremendous and we thoroughly enjoyed playing there.
Best course we played. Courteous staff and great facilities. Very challenging day
Not in great shape due to weather but probably good when weather improves
Beautiful. Great service. Lot of fun
Got rained out but have played 15 years in a row. Our groups favorite course . Always in good shape and friendly employees
beautiful course love the history
Great course, in great shape, showing a lot of history and some really quirky holes.
Awesome course, need to think out there and not always grip and rip. Nice fast greens.
TT discrepancy , put us in a rush to have breakfast and get on the tee.
My favorite course in the Myrtle Beach area
Been here 5 times , one of favorite courses
This was one of the nicest courses ever played on Beautiful houses
Amazing golf course!!
course was great, the staff was great. one of our favorite places.
Turf was very difficult to hit a wood, needed to use irons. Very slow play!
The course was over booked and we teed off 1/2 hour late. Getting dark on the last hole.
same as above :)
