Heritage Pointe Golf Course: Award-Winning Excellence
Since opening in 1992, Heritage Pointe Golf Club has established itself as one of Canada's premier public-access golf facilities. Ranked in SCOREGolf's Top 50 Canadian Public Courses (2021), the 27-hole championship course was designed by renowned architect Ron Garl and features three distinct nines: the Pointe, Desert, and Heritage courses.
