Heritage Bay Golf and Country Club
10154 Heritage Bay Blvd. |
A design duet from Gordon Lewis, known as the “King of Southwest Florida golf course architecture” and Jed Azinger, brother of 2008 Ryder Cup Captain Paul Azinger, the 27-hole Heritage Bay Golf and Country Club features hand mown TifEagle greens, an aqua driving range and rolling fairways.
The golf course is capable of accommodating all ability levels, as it stretches to more than 7,200 yards but boasts five tee placements. Miles of natural preserves and crystal blue lakes make this course nothing shy of spectacular.
For golfers looking to maximize their potential with a focused improvement plan, Heritage Bay has four PGA professionals on staff led by Tal Buchanan, one of the most tenured and decorated PGA members in Southwest Florida.
Highlighted by a magnificent clubhouse that was completed in April 2009, Heritage Bay has a host of amenities including a fully-stocked pro shop, grille room, card room, billiards room, full men’s and women’s locker rooms with sauna and a fine dining room. The club also offers members and guests a tennis facility, fitness center, resort pool and Chikee bar restaurant.

Signature Hole - Oak No. 9
A truly great finishing hole. With the magnificent clubhouse as a backdrop and a large tranquil lake on the right your mind may wander. A long drive to the left center of the fairway avoids water right and bunkers left, affording the best angle to this large green. Play slightly left of the pin as anything to the right spells big numbers.
Hole by Hole
Pine Hole 1 - Par 5, 561 yards
A straightforward par 5 where what you see is what you get. Favor the right side on your drive. The fairway is plenty wide so you can pull out the driver. To set up your approach in, play your second as close as you dare to the left trap. Hope that the super and pro set the pin to the left. The right side of the green makes for a difficult pin position.
Pine Hole 2 - Par 4, 361 yards
Tiger might make a go of it here, but we suggest you position your drive as close as possible to the right dogleg trap. A short iron into this green can mean an early birdie.
Pine Hole 3 - Par 4, 394 yards
Medium-length two shotter that's a fair test of your driver/middle iron game. Par is a good score here.
