Hidden treasure

Very nice course with greens, fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Pace of play was fine. The entrance was marked by a small sign. Almost missed it.

Nice course except for the greens

I have played the Highlands a few times in the past but that was 3-4 years ago. The course has a nice layout and the tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. But more than half of the greens were in poor shape, particularly on the front nine. The areas with no grass were fast but then an area on the same green might have grass and have moderate speed. In fairness we have had a terrible drought the last 2 months.

Disappointed in safety precautions

I've played this course lots of times. It is fun to play although recently the tee boxes have gotten chewed up and need repair. This time when I played with 2 elderly friends, we had some concern about social distancing since the starter indicated we would be teamed up with another single player. We asked if we could pay an extra fee to have single carts. The answer was an extra $61 on top of the $55 fee we had already paid. I don't understand why the fee should be more than the round itself. Some courses offer plexiglass dividers on the carts but not this one. The message I get is that they don't care about safety during the pandemic. I won't be back

Decent place to play a round

This is a course I have played for over 20 years. Right nor some tee boxes could use some work. Greens I good shape. Pace of play was good. In the winter course is pretty expensive compared to summer. They expect 2 people to use one cart even if they are not from the same household which I thinks is WRONG. This ought to be mandated by the state or county

Nice place to work on short game

I needed to spend some time working on my short game. This course provided a good place to accomplish that. While the greens and tee boxes could be improved, they were adequate for what I was trying to do. Nice place to practice pitches and chips and even bunkers.

Nice course

Tatum Ridge is a nice course that is a fair test. Greens are not exceptionally fast. Some of the tee boxes are a bit torn up. But fairways are in good shape, and the greens are pretty good. Sand up the bunkers is not the fluffy type. They have a nice practice facility and staff is very friendly

Excellent course.

Course in tip top condition. One group ahead of me at 1:24 tee time. Let me play thru. They have staff to manicure the bunkers while players on the course. For about $18 including tax you just cannot beat this. In winter season here in florida would be at least $50-60. Greens fast. They even give you a towel with the cart.
