The Golf Club at The Highlands

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Greens were the feature of the course. Best conditioned greens I’ve seen since Pinehurst! Excellent layout and fun to play. Bunkers were in great condition and fairways were greening up nicely from the winter dormancy. Only knock would be on the tee boxes…they could use some attention.
Best value I’ve found!

Let's not kid ourselves of what this winter is so far in Chesterfield County. Mild and a little wet. Sometimes, borderline hot. All Bermuda grass is dormant. The course isn't growing. So the rough is low everywhere, very thin in spots and bare in others. You may find drives in the fairway unrewarding because of the soft thin lie where chunking or skulling is a real possibility. Nothing can be done about this now. Ball can rest on bare lies in the rough. But the real fun is on the greens. Above the hole is treacherous and defensive. It has become a local knowledge course because middle of the green isn't good anymore because of there's alot lot movement. The putting surface is hard. No ball marks. If you find this type of green upsetting, try somewhere else. I like the challenge.
Course conditions earned an average only because of the dormant Bermuda but it's Playable under difficult scoring expectations.

What a great day of golf! Not only were the course conditions excellent, the staff and especially Troy made the experience that much better. I wish I had a template for this review because it would always say the same thing.....go there! You won't find as nice a course in the area without having to pay around $100. Go and tell em Phil sent ya!

I haven't played here since the greens were redone. This place can compete with any course in the area. The slope, speed and consistency was very surprising on a cold winter day. Even chip shots grab your attention because of the need to stay below the hole. It was a lot of fun. I highly recommend playing the Highlands.

Played on Labor Day for the first time. I was very impressed with the course conditions, especially for the money. I’m hacker, usually shooting mid-nineties or so and was a little concerned about the level of difficulty but was relieved at the course setup. It seemed relatively easy to take trouble out of play and didn’t feel like I was punished too much when I made some poor shots. Greens were in good shape, as were the traps, and the staff was super friendly. No beverage cart was available on a hot day, but other than that it was a great round. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Played the blue tees, which had a lot of tee shots over brush areas and made some par 4’s very long. Overall, course was in good shape. The greens had nice grass, but were rock hard. I maybe had one ball mark to fix and hit most greens in regulation (a bunch of approach shots went off the back, too). Rest was in very good condition. Course has nice restrooms with water fountains and the staff was very friendly.

This course offer a little of everything to challenge a golfer: doglegs, drivable Par4, blind shots, and one or two gimmicky greens.
Fairways are hard & grass is thin on the fairways. The greens are the best asset on this course. Super fast and the ball rolls out like Don Johnson shot down the highway on Tin Cup.😂
If the fairways ever grow in this will be a great course to play.
I really enjoy playing Highlands and is one of my go to courses. .
Reasonably price especially when compared to the highly overpriced Mag Green which I consider it equal in the area

It has been several years since I played this course but it will not be long before we play it again. The greens were in amazing shape, the tee boxes beautiful, the fairways almost pristine. The course was in amazing shape. The new layout (new ownership since I last played) has clearly taken good care to make this course great to play.

For a Saturday morning in October we were surprised that there were so few People playing. We had no one in front or behind for the first 7 holes. We did come up on the twos one un front of us who was waiting on the 3-some ahead of them. Even with the slight delay as we made closed the front and made the turn, we still finished 18 holes in just over 4 hours. (Which seems to be a foreign concept in Richmond lately)

One MINOR area for improvement- the signage to find the pro shop was a bit frustrating…..

Have no complaints what so ever, from the time I arrived to upon leaving./ Course is in great shape and challenging ,Greens were fast & true. Chip & putt will be tested if you never played here.
