A generally wide course off the tee that requires thought into which side of the fairway to play to based on hole location. Greens are a mix of bold designs on some of the flatter holes, with more subtle internal contouring on the holes with dramatic land.

Very challenging on naturally undulating terrain. No holes off and green complexes are all unique and heavily protected.

This Arnold Palmer design is an absolute treat to play. The course is always in great shape, with rolling terrain, tight fairways, and water that comes into play just enough to keep you honest.

Heritage Club in Mason is one of those courses that feels like a solid, everyday play — nothing overly flashy, but always a good time. It’s a P.B. Dye design, and you can definitely see the family resemblance in the shaping of the greens and some of the bunkering.
