Built around a homeowner-owned 18-hole Par 72 championship golf course designed by Arthur Hills and Spencer Holt that has been ranked #2 in the United States for Course Conditions by Golf Advisor, Heritage Palms offers its residents something almost unheard of in any private community at this price point: unlimited golf from November through September as part of their community membership.
Established between 1996 and 2004 on 379 beautifully landscaped acres in central Indio by U.S. Homes (later acquired by Lennar), Heritage Palms combines a world-class golf experience with 1,003 single-story and duplex homes across 20 floor plans, a 32,000 sq ft clubhouse with ballroom, grille room, fitness center, dance rehearsal studio, library, billiards, craft room, card rooms, and the Heritage Room, indoor and outdoor pools and spas, 4 lighted tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, gardening plots, waterfalls, and manicured walking paths.
The community's stated mission is to "preserve and enhance Heritage Palms as an active adult community in a country club setting," and with Golf Advisor rankings placing the course in the top 25 nationally for Course Conditions, Pace of Play, and Off-Course Amenities, that mission is clearly being fulfilled at the highest level.
