Heritage Park Golf Course

6 years ago we started a process to eliminate the annual bluegrass on our greens. We applied a product called
Poacure and it worked so well we went from 95% annual bluegrass (Poa) now down to less than 5%. Here is a picture of #1 green 5 years apart. We are now in the process of doing the same to our Green Banks, so if you notice an off color and dying grass it is done on purpose.

No more driving through Heritage Park to access the golf course! You can now enjoy the new direct entrance to both Heritage Park and Heritage Park Golf Course.

We're excited to welcome everyone through the new entrance and want to extend a huge thank you to all the contractors and crews who worked so hard to make this project a reality.

🚧 One final improvement is still on the way - a gate is currently being installed at the golf course entrance and will be operational soon.

Come check out the new way in, and we'll see you on the course!
