About this course
Heritage Golf Links offers two distinct 18-hole layouts in Tucker, a suburban community northeast of Atlanta. Mike Young, a Georgia-based architect known for his work throughout the Southeast, designed both the Tradition and Legacy courses. The facility operates as a daily-fee property serving the greater metro Atlanta golf market. The Tradition course represents one half of the 36-hole complex. Young's design work in this region typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the rolling terrain and hardwood corridors common to the Georgia Piedmont. The layout likely features tree-lined fairways, elevation changes that add strategic interest to club selection, and greens that reflect the natural contours of the land. The Legacy course provides an alternative routing across the property, giving regular visitors variety in their rounds. Both courses share the characteristic vegetation of north Georgia—a mix of pine and deciduous trees—and the red clay soil that influences drainage and turf conditions throughout the area. The dual-course setup allows Heritage Golf Links to accommodate higher volumes of play while offering golfers different looks and challenges within a single facility, a common model for accessible public golf in major metropolitan markets.

Getting there
Heritage Golf Links is most readily accessed via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), one of the world's busiest hubs, situated roughly twenty miles southwest of the property; the drive northeast into Tucker typically takes thirty to forty-five minutes depending on Atlanta traffic patterns, threading through suburban corridors before arriving at the club's discreet entrance in the rolling terrain of DeKalb County. For those flying private, Peachtree DeKalb Airport (PDK) offers a considerably more intimate arrival just minutes away, allowing guests to bypass the sprawl entirely and transition directly into the quieter, tree-lined approach to the clubhouse. The final miles unfold through a landscape of mature oaks and manicured grounds that signal the transition from metropolitan Atlanta into the serene, member-focused world of Heritage Golf Links.
