About this course

Heath Golf & Yacht Club sits in the northeastern Texas community of Heath, along the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Designed by Roy Bechtol and opened in the 1970s, the course reflects the regional style of Texas golf from that era, with routing that takes advantage of the lakeside setting and the gently rolling terrain characteristic of the area. Bechtol, a Texas-based architect active during the mid-twentieth century, created numerous courses throughout the state, typically emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating natural land features. The layout at Heath integrates water hazards and lake views into several holes, a defining characteristic given its proximity to Ray Hubbard. The course features tree-lined fairways with native hardwoods and pines framing play corridors, and greens that present moderate undulation. Strategic bunkering and the occasional risk-reward opportunity over water provide variety throughout the round. The property's relatively flat to gently rolling topography allows for walkable golf, though carts are commonly used. As a private club with both golf and yacht facilities, Heath Golf & Yacht Club serves its membership with amenities beyond the course itself, including marina access and dining. The club maintains a family-oriented atmosphere typical of suburban country clubs in the region, with social programming and junior golf initiatives complementing the competitive play among members.

Getting there

# Getting There

Heath Golf & Yacht Club sits in the rolling terrain east of Dallas, most readily accessed via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), roughly forty-five minutes to an hour's drive southeast through the suburban sprawl that gradually yields to the quieter, tree-lined roads of the Heath area. Private aviation clients will find Addison Airport (ADS) a closer alternative, situated just north of Dallas proper and offering a more discreet arrival corridor to the club's lakeside setting. The final approach winds through the residential enclaves and pastoral edges of the Dallas exurbs, where glimpses of water and manicured grounds signal the transition from the city's reach into the serene, member-only sanctuary that overlooks Lake Ray Hubbard - a fitting arrival at a club where golf and waterfront leisure converge.
