Heritage Harbour Golf Club (formerly known as Stoneybrook Golf Club at Heritage Harbour) plays through a landscape highlighted by mature, wooded wetland preserves and ponds. The golf course plays through spacious residential corridors, creating strategic risk/reward holes. At approximately 7,100 yards, multiple tees allow the golf course to be enjoyed by players of all abilities. The golfer who succeeds at challenging the hazards and angles will be rewarded with the proper angle for the next shot and an opportunity for a birdie. Designed by Arthur Hills, one of the world's top golf course designers, Heritage Harbour Golf Club is located just a half mile east of I-75 at exit 220.

Course conditions

This course has recently gone through significant changes and the fairways and greens are still growing in. Many of the greens have bad patches. They blame it on the weather. No way halfway house which was disappointing. Once they build one and the course grows in I suspect it will be fine but that won’t be this year

Better than expected

We played very early and never waited on anyone. The greens room very nice with the exception of about two of them. There was one temporary green. I was very surprised with the conditions of the course. Although the fairways were thin, I have played courses that were way worse. You do have to watch the roll out which got me in trouble several times. My four star rating may be a little high, but the course was certainly better than three.

Not what it used to be

Ever since the redesign, this course has gone downhill. The layout is terrible and makes no sense as the turn is in the middle of the course with no access to food or drinks. The carts have so many alarms and beeps that it disrupts play. They also overbook between the apps and call in bookings so todays rate of play was well over 5 hours. Unless I’m told it’s changed I can’t come back here.

Worst course in all of Bradenton!

Haven’t played this course in a couple years and all I can say is wow was it terrible, tee boxes and fairways were horrendous and worst of all the greens weren’t even playable. Charging people $80 to play on dirt is absolutely outrageous! Course should be free or if anything should just shut down because it is that bad. 10/10 would not recommend to anyone.

Don’t waste your time/money

Horrible condition, uneven lumpy patches on greens plus fairways cut so close plus bare spots everywhere! Waited on every shot the entire 18 holes……they should make this into some kind of recreation area

Miss the old course

This used to be a great lay out that over the years has had a lot of maintenance issues. The new owners have improved the conditions, yet some issues still remain. After the sale, the removal of the first 2 holes and redesign has left a lot of us locals baffled and nostalgic. It is still a challenging and fun course, and the staff are the still the best from bag drop to clubhouse.

A course in progress

Over the years I have played this course many times and for an average golfer like me I find it to be very challenging. I do believe that the people who run this course are doing the best they can with all the changes. Give this course six months to a year and it will return to a great course as it once was.

Greens nearly non-existent

Course in very rough shape.
Fairways barren of grass, bumpy. Rough very patchy and full of weeds
Greens are unplayable.

2/3 of them have siginificant sod patches that did not take.
And when you were able to find a line to putt that was not interfered with by a sod patch, the greens were running at a 5 or 6. Seriously. Have not been cut in a while.

My frustration was that the green conditions were not posted on club website nor on the booking site.

Also rhe design is bizarre. From the tips the front nine is 600+ yards longer than the back nine.

Back nine has 3 par 3s

4 of the 5 par fives were over 200 yards, with three over 220 yards from the tips.

Lots of crowned greens

Long par fours had very small greens.

They advertised that they renovated in 2022, and I hope that is not true as this is a poor design and course in very bad shape

Would not play again.

The course was fine. Glad we didn't walk. Did have issues with golf cart. Talked with a staff member.......he said cart should have been re-programed. We ended up pushing it a couple of times. No warnings before cart shut off.

Do not pay more than $35

Just played course for the second time in 6 months and the greens have still not corrected themselves. They have a temp green on one of the holes which is just unplayable. To pay $62 for a 12pm tee time is outrageous. They need to either close the course down and fix the greens completely or start charging $30 to play there. Rest of the course is in really good shape but I would rather have nice greens and dirt fairways.

Except for 6 greens, one temporary, the course was in good condition. Greens were hard and fast
Fairways are cut too short so pitching becomes a problem

Not a fan of the new layout but certainly more player friendly
