Pros:
Heritage is a park of variety, difficulty, and quality. Large tee boxes for every hole with gravel around them, and now a basket in nearly every pin spot on the course, mostly MachX with a few Lat64 models sprinkled in. Each tee has a helpful tee sign with accurate distances.
The variety of the course is a huge plus. Open, wooded, gaps, doglegs, par 4s, tough par 3s. All working together to create a challenging round
The par 4s - if you choose to play them - are some of the best holes of the round. Hole 7 that narrows to the green on the second shot, Hole 14 is my favorite of the course, an uphill tunnel tee shot, followed by a dogleg right and a gap to get into the green. Hole 18 has trees both big and small to beat, and there is no middle line; you'll be challenging the trees on either side off the tee, then the final tree wall at the end.
The open holes are decent and have some nice shapes to them, but the holes in the woods (12-14) or across the hallway (8, 9, 17) are the highlights of the course.
Many epic greens to hit. 8 and 17 long especially, and 12 has a raised basket in a tree trunk with guardian trees all around it. You have to earn the deuce on these.
Cons:
The rough. My first time playing here, I quit after 7 holes since I had searched for discs six times already and had lost two of them.
There are some poor pin placements. Holes 2 long, 6 short, and 15 short... are literally a basket stuffed 10 feet behind an evergreen. 15 isn't that bad but 2 and 6 are just terrible to try to birdie. And then there's hole 10. I'm not sure how many large evergreens are in the middle of the fairway 200' from the tee, but they leave you with a 5' wide gap on either side to hit. Either way, these feel poorly designed. Or maybe someone likes climbing evergreens for discs.
Some of the lines off the tee are a bit too tight (8, 15, and 17) which make it even more rewarding to get a birdie.
For people who have a cannon, some of the par 4s become frequent eagle opportunities (2, 11, and 16).
Hoe 16 really feels like a filler hole. Because it is.
Other Thoughts:
The first 7 holes are not the highlight of this course. Fairly flat with some good and some meh holes. But hole 4 gives you a taste of the incredible the rest of the course.
Having the multitude of basket options really opens the course up to higher level players, while keeping the shorts accessible to most people with a few rounds under their belt.
In the end, this is a great park course. It covers most regular people's shots, and advanced players have the chance to really push the envelope, but playing clean is almost always rewarded with low scores. Well worth a stop if you're in the southwest of KC.
