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

Needs attention

The course has mostly narrow fairways … the second cut is deep you won’t find your ball if you’re off the fairway … fairways are very fair lots of mowed over weeds … you really can’t play “down “ you have to roll the ball to get some decent grass under it … course layout is good challenging approach shots but your hitting of hard pan … the greens SUCK … bald spots diseased areas you have to roll your ball to an area that. Doesn’t have a diseased bald spot or your ball will bobble to the hole like putting on asphalt …their course needs care … water weed killer fertilizer it will $40.000 dollar you to death but if they can’t afford to take care of the course then it will take years for it to groom into a decent course ….it has potential but management has neglected to properly address the needs … it’s decent goat ranch about somes it up ….

Highlands in the Summer

Clubhouse staff very good. Cart attendants act like they hate their job. The layout of the course is one of great promise. Quality holes with some challenge to it. The greens and tees are not good. Not sure the last time they changed the cup placement. Honestly loved the layout. The course just lacks the attention it deserves.
