Do heavier objects fall to the ground faster than lighter objects?

No. There is no relation between the mass of object and the time it takes to fall down.
This can be explained by one of the kinametical equations, you may be familiar with the equation,
h = ut + 1/2gt^2
Here, h is height from where object is thrown. u is initial velocity, g is gravitational force and t is time taken.
It is clear from the above equation that the time taken (t) by an object to fall down, has no relation with its mass.
However, it depends on aerodynamics. The object which experiences more air resistance falls down faster while the object with less air resistance falls down slower.
