About Heritage Isles
Heritage Isles sits in the northeast corner of New Tampa off Cross Creek Boulevard, close to the Hillsborough River and the county's large preserve lands. The community was built mostly in the late 1990s and 2000s, so homes have more open floor plans than the older golf neighborhoods closer to town. Entry is gated, and the association amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool with a water slide, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, and a park. Golf carts are allowed on community streets, which makes a short drive to the course practical. Many homes back to the course or to one of the community's many lakes and canals, and the course itself preserves about 15 acres of wetlands. HOA dues on the listings reviewed are modest, though the amount varies by section and some homes may also carry special district assessments on the tax bill, so check the tax history for any address. For buyers who want a newer golf neighborhood without a private club price tag, Heritage Isles is often on the short list.
The golf at Heritage Isles
Heritage Isles Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole course designed by Gordon G. Lewis with Jed Azinger, and it opened in 2000. The layout winds through the community's lakes and canals and keeps about 15 acres of natural wetlands intact, so water and marsh frame a lot of approach shots. The club runs as a semi-private operation: anyone can book tee times online up to 14 days in advance, and golfers who play often can join for discounts on tee times, apparel and more. The facility has a driving range, a golf shop, leagues, instruction and tournament hosting, plus the Bay Scape Bistro and catering for events. Recent golfer reviews run through mid 2026 and the course posts open tee times, so it is operating. The clubhouse address is 10630 Plantation Bay Drive in Tampa.
Is club membership required in Heritage Isles?
Optional. Heritage Isles Golf and Country Club books public tee times up to 14 days ahead and sells optional memberships with savings on tee times and apparel. No membership requirement for homeowners appears in the sources reviewed.
