Played On 03/11/2017Getting Better...
I stayed away from this course for most of the season because of some bad experiences last year and poor reviews this year. I played it a couple of weeks ago and thought it was in much better shape than the reviews made it out to be. Played again today and it was even better this time.
The greens are in great shape. The are running just a touch slow, but are in pristine shape. The tee boxes and bunkers were ok too. There are a couple of fairways that look like they burned out at one point, but are on their way to recovery. Not quite as nice as say a Candler Hills or Twisted Oaks, but in much better shape than Spruce Creek.
Maybe the biggest perk is that the course isn't overbooked like some in the area. Last weekend I played Royal Oaks and it took 4.5 hours, this weekend I finished in 2.5 at Highland Hills.
That said, I do have two complaints that I hope the staff fix in the near future...
- The practice green is horrible. It's in worse shape than any fairway on the course. Shaggy and full of weeds. The good news is that its nothing like the rest of the greens... but the point of a practice green is have it be indicative of the rest of the course.
- They only have 3 tees out. For some reason they've decided not to put out the blue tees. The cards have them listed, the signs have them listed, and they are keeping up what look like the blue tee boxes, but for some reason they just don't put out the markers. Long hitters should probably stay away until they fix this over-site
Would give the course 3.5 stars if golfnow allowed it..
