Getting there
The Heritage Club sits in the rolling countryside north of Cincinnati, most easily reached via Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), roughly forty minutes south by car through the transition from suburban sprawl into the quieter Warren County landscape. Private aviation clients will find Cincinnati's Lunken Airport (LUL) a convenient alternative closer to the city center, though CVG remains the primary gateway for most visitors. The drive north from either hub carries you through increasingly pastoral terrain, where the urban periphery gradually yields to tree-lined roads and the gentle topography that defines this corner of southwestern Ohio, delivering you finally to The Heritage Club's understated entrance - a fitting arrival point for a course that prioritizes substance and design integrity over ostentation.
