In the phrase "to head OVER to a place", what does "over" mean? In other words, is "over" really needed? May I just say, "to head to a place"?

Thank you.

Yes, you can just head to a place. "Head over" is a popular and customary locution, but it is certainly not an exclusive expression of the idea.

Let's head to Bill's house.

Let's head over to Bill's house.

Either is acceptable, and they have the same meaning.
