With 100-plus golf courses in the Tampa Bay area, the management and staff at Heritage Isles know that we have to bring our best game to work every day.

We take the challenge seriously, investing in frequent upgrades to provide our golfers with the best environment possible. Our new Champion greens provide faster, smoother and firmer putting surfaces, all part of our effort to provide our golfers with true, consistent areas and a fair chance to make every putt.

Our turf maintenance program has enhanced the health and appearance of our fairways, tees, and roughs — another boost to a player’s game. Heritage Isles has invested in new equipment that provides a consistent cut on our turf grass, eliminating an unnecessary distraction for golfers. We also work to grow the game through the First Tee and our Player Development programs.

Please tell us how we can continue to improve the course and your experiences at Heritage Isles. We appreciate each and every golfer at Heritage Isles.

We’re entering prime golf weather now, and there’s nothing like a tournament to energize your game, build camaraderie and create great memories.

Sign up for the two-person Scramble at Heritage Isles on Saturday, Oct. 7.  It’s a shotgun start at 9 a.m., with gross and net divisions flighted.

The event includes not just golf, but range balls, lunch, awards, and a special contest. Prizes will go to the longest putt, closest to the pin shots (men and women categories) and closest to the line.

All that for only $45!

Round up your favorite golf partner and bring your competitive spirit. Rich Widdicombe and Travis Ramsey will be here to defend their title, which they won in the Spring 2017 Tournament.

Need more details or ready to sign up? Call 813-907-7447 or email higolf@hicdd.org. We look forward to seeing you!

Aerification is a pet peeve for some golfers, but it’s vital for the greens to thrive.

At Heritage Isles, we understand your feelings and try to minimize the disruption caused by the sandy, bumpy greens that are a temporary part of aerification.

It’s a mechanical process that creates air space in the soil to promote a healthy root system for natural turf. This process helps the turf and prevents future problems.

Turf grass on greens requires a great deal of maintenance to keep it healthy. The soil must drain water at a rate that allows the roots to grab it as it passes by. If it drains too fast, the turf may dry out. If it drains too slowly, the roots may rot. The soil also could develop an unwanted layer of decomposing material.

During aerification we remove this unwanted layer to enable the roots of the turf to grow deeper.

 

It’s a short-term inconvenience that guarantees the long-term health of the greens and provides a better putting surface in the future.

We appreciate your patience. We want you to enjoy each and every visit to Heritage Isles.
