A Good Test of Golf from Any Tees

The Highlands requires good tee shots to avoid trees, water and sand. The course from tee to green is in good condition. The greens have improved dramatically from the poor putting conditions earlier this summer but they are still not great compared to other local public access courses. If the greens were better this would be a great course and a true test of ball striking ability. I still enjoy playing this course even if the greens aren't perfect. Pace was excellent at. 3 1/4 h for 18.(2-some). Great value thru GN.

Enjoyable facility

Friendly welcome at Cart Barn, in the Pro Shop and at the First Tee. There were a few holes which needed some greenkeeping attention but this did not detract from our enjoyment of the course.

Much better

Lived in area all my life and this course has had it’s ups and downs. Two years ago the management destroyed the courses and especially the greens. They have made progress in bringing them back. The staff is friendly, the course has a great layout, the fairways are in superb shape, the tees are in good shape and the amenities on the course of restrooms, water and ice are second to none. The rough is rough as it should be. The greens are 60% better and hopefully will get to 100% before year end. Glad to see a troubled course begin to get back on track to being an excellent place to play a round. A great deal on GN or just book online. I have no affiliation with the course just near where I live.

Greatly Improved & A Good Test of Golf

The Highlands fairways and tees are in excellent shape. The late summer rains have really improved course playing conditions. The bermuda rough is a "real rough" and places a premium on hitting fairways. The chipping and pitching areas around the greens are in very good shape. The pace of play was excellent as a single at 2 h and 15 min.(noon tee time).. The greens have greatly improved,, they were good enough to allow me 13 putts on the front nine with 5 one putts. A couple of greens on the.course still have some issues but it is clear they are rapidly improving.. At last the greens are starting to roll true and the rest of the course is in excellent shape. A great value and a good test off golf.

If only the greens were better

Tee boxes are ok and fairways are in great shape. Pace of play is usually good but it totally depends on the pace of the group in front.. Now for the not so good. The greens are still making a comeback and are better than they were a month ago but they are still very, very slow and they are not rolling true and smooth. Very hard to one putt for an up & down. The value was still ok because the price in golf now was good I will say the shape of the course is in great shape except for the greens which are slowly improving.

Highlands

I’ve played this course maybe 6/7 times over the past 4 yrs and this was the poorest condition it’s been in. The greens were slow and beat up. Very disappointing. The rough needed mowing as we lost a few balls in the rough not far from the fairway. The fairways themselves were fine and the tee boxes as well. I like the course layout but I may not be back unless I hear the greens have been improved. Thanks
