Highlands Reserve Golf Club
Played On 11/30/2021Hidden Gem in Orlando
About an our from Orlando, this hidden gem is definitely worth the extra driving time. A course that virtually takes up the whole island. From the very start, the staff was friendly and accommodating. Every hole could be a signature hole. Multiple tees to satisfy all types of golfers. Course conditions were excellent, greens aerated, but still fast and challenging. Lots of water in play, but not any forced carrys, as long as you choose your tee wisely. Recommend this course.
Red Bridge Golf and Country Club
Played On 01/31/2019Red Bridge
Though somewhat out of the way, from Charlotte, it is well worth the trip. Excellent greens, conditions, and staff. Course layout outstanding, though you need to pay attention to the signs as the sequence of holes is not very fluid. Pace of play was excellent, even with cart path only restrictions, we (threesome) finished in 4 hours.
Highly recommend this course.
Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jackson Course
Played On 01/13/2017Not the Jones course, but very similar
Unfortunately the "Jones" course is no longer availability to the public. Fortunately the "Jackson" course is a great alternative. Though shorter than Jones, it embodies a lot of the qualities of its private partner. The layout is spectacular and the elevation changes dramatic. Fairways, tees and greens all in great shape, with the exception of a couple of greens on the back nine, that looked like they had disease damage. Even these greens were very playable. Staff was friendly and clubhouse and pro shop very good. Pace of play was very good, 4:15. Plus the price on Golf Now was fantastic. This has become one of my favorite courses in the Charlotte area. A little more than hour drive, but worth your time and travel. I strongly recommend this course.
Port at Harborside International Golf Center
Played On 07/16/2016A must play
Harborside Port was a great golf course. Demanding off the tees, with an abundance of bunkers to navigate. Great scenic views, and the ChicagoSkyline ever present. Fairways were fast and the greens were receptive and fast, with no unreasonable pin placements. Only hit a few balls on range, but they were complimentary with your green fee. Range was large and had many available flags at different distances. Overall, this is a must play golf course in the Chicagoland area. Only negative, a bit too pricey for retiree.
Rocky River Golf Club at Concord
Played On 01/14/2015Excellent greens!
Course was a little damp, so we were cart path only. For this time of year, the fairways and tees were good, but the greens were magnificent. I would guess they were rolling at about an 11 on stimp meter. Temperature was in the low 40's, so it was nice to play in 3hours and 10 minutes! Price on golf now was unbelievable. Highly recommend this course. Funny note, a wild turkey came up on the 13th green and proceeded to follow us the final five holes.
Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jones Course
Played On 02/27/2014Spectacular golf course
I can see why the senior tour plays this course every year. Tremendous layout, with a wide variety of challenging holes. Greens were in excellent condition and the fairways, although dormant, were still in great shape. Bunkers were exceptional and the sand perfect. Staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. We arrived early as a twosome and the starter talked to a threesome and foursome scheduled ahead of us and got us out immediately. I'm from Chicago, but I hope to play this course when everything is lush and green. A must play for anyone in the Charlotte area.
Kissimmee Golf Club
Played On 11/23/2013Nice Muni track
Overall, a decent Municipal golf course. Not very long, but still requires thinking on some of the tee shots. Course was in ok condition, with the greens surprisingly good. Staff was friendly and the price was exceptional, with lunch included. A good warm-up course if you're on a golf trip in the Orlando area.
The Champions Club at Summerfield
Played On 11/12/2013Nice course, in need of rain
Nice layout, bit dried out. Greens were in good shape, though a bit slow. Nice GPS system, but I would suggest, a commentary about hole, to help with some of the blind shots. First time playing, and got in trouble off the tee on a few holes, because of no info on hole. Pace of play was good at 4 hours. With a wetter summer, this course would be a great destination to play.
I would still recommend this course. Price on Golf Now very reasonable and available the day before my visit.
Buffalo Grove Golf Course
Played On 10/22/2013A decent, not too demanding course.
Overall course was in good condition, greens unfortunately aerified, but that's to be expected at this time. Like the layout and different holes, with sufficient bunkering and water hazards. Plus, the price was exceptional. Pace of play was very good, and staff was super friendly. I would recommend this course.
Randall Oaks Golf Club
Played On 9/11/2013Great greens!
Though a short course, definitely has some challenging holes. Fairways were in excellent condition and the greens were superb. Probably the second best greens I've putted on this year. Only Cascata in LasVegas were better and the cost there was fifteen times more. One thing I noticed though, the ball did not break as much as it looked. Don't know why. The rough seemed a bit too high and snarly. Otherwise a very decent course and one I would definitely recommend. The price was great too.
Red Bridge Golf and Country Club
Played On 02/16/2013Excellent course
Course was very challenging, with a good variety of elevation changes and different looking holes. One negative, was the condition of the greens. They seemed to have been aerated previously, but not rolled. Very bumpy and unpredictable and made the experience less appealing. Also, the pace of play was not very good. (4:40)
Harry L. Jones Sr. Golf Course
Played On 01/29/2013A nice variety of different looking and playing holes.
overall, a nice layout. holes are all different , with the par three 13th spectacular. Both nines end with great holes. only negative, was the course condition, but overall a nice track. would recommend this course at the price we played.
Highland Woods Golf Course
Played On 12/14/2012for as much play as this course gets, greens are in good shape
super senior rate, course not overly difficult and greens surprisingly in good shape. staff is always friendly. normal pace is generally very slow, would recommend some keep pace ambassadors to speed up play.
Settler's Hill Golf Course
Played On 11/21/2012sporty course, with challenging and different par 3's.
a fun course, not too long, with a wide variety of different holes and different challenges.
