Good place to play

Course was fun and conditions were good. Several beautiful and scenic holes. My one complaint was a longer-haired marshal that continued to speed us along - 3 different times. I know what you're thinking, but we rarely saw others on the course at all and there wasn't anyone behind us when he got onto us, in the fairway or on the green. Pace wasn't that bad, maybe 4-4.5 hours. We weren't fast, but I'd expect that pace on a resort course. To make it worse, he eventually split our group into two twosomes on 14 and by 15 we had caught a 5-some ahead of us and waited on every box and fairways afterwards with our twosome partners behind us in sight.. You can image how the level of play suffered and at $175/round, it was a major annoyance.

This course is such a treat!

Came out from Houston to play, this course is a real treat. Great shape and a tough test of golf. Surprisingly for a resort course, pace of pace was very fast. Green complexes are very tough and speeds were pretty quick. I don't play much in the area, but out of Houston, they were fast. I wish I could play this course regularly.

Complaints: I think the course is a little too long, choose your box wisely. There needs to be a box in between white and senior.

A new favorite!

Instantly a new favorite. The front nine is getable while the back nine has a totally different feel. Really, a very interesting course layout. I left this course already wanting to play it again!

The grill/restaurant seemed really cool with great places to sit and look out over the course. I planned to grab food during the turn, but the restaurant closed at 2, so that was a bummer. Premade sandwich was ok, but items on the menu all looked good.

Great course but typically slow

I love this course, by the way. However, it typically plays slow. I never see a marshal and seems like every time I play it play is slow compared to other places.

I had a breakfast taco from the grill and the lady managing the grill was very nice and the taco was good.

A local favorite!

Maybe the toughest conditions I've ever played in.. however, this course is always a treat to play. One of my personal favorites. This is not a bermuda grass course, so conditions are always some of the best in the area. Its a little hike from the mainland, but always worth it and good to be out on the island.

Staff was very friendly and I had a burger in the grill, which was pretty good. I'll be back - my favorite course in the area on GolfNow.

This is a true test!

One of the best conditioned Bermuda courses I've played. I'd been warned about the difficulty and the course lived up to the warnings. Fairly straightforward off the tees, most of the course's teeth are around the greens. Missing greens here is very penalizing, which is compounded by the difficulty of the approach shots and the length of the course. Greens were tough, but the speeds were about average. That was surprising as they looked very fast and were very flat/smooth surfaces. Sand is very fine grained and a small lapse of attention, even for a low handicapper, and you will leave your ball in the bunker. The course is very pretty with numerous ponds, bunkers and elevation changes. An excellent example of Arkansas golf- its got to be one of the best public courses in the state.

Negatives: pace of play will probably never be very fast here as most players will struggle on most of the holes. Even quality players will get bit from time to time here. The club house is very small and per the website/observation, that is being fixed currently with a new clubhouse being built.

Good course

Enjoyed playing this course. A lot of water will keep you honest and those Galveston Co. winds. Several beautiful holes on the Brazos at the start of the back nine - wish they would trim the shoreline tight to show that off! Its a long drive, but I'll be back. Very good value.

Great course

I've played here several times now and it keeps getting better. Last time I played I had problems with slow play and called the proshop to ask for a marshall to keep pace up ahead of us. It was clear that that comment was taken to heart. I saw 3-4 marshalls out while I was playing and the difference was huge. Everyone can finish, everyone has a much better time. Thanks for listening! By the way, the greens are some of the best around and the course is looking good. Bunkers were good, no complaints on the course. One of the best on the GolfNow lineup for this area and one of the cheapest. Highly recommend.

Fantastic!

Used my round credit for this course and I was very happy. For winter conditions it was as good as you’ll find playing on Bermuda. I can’t say enough about the layout. There were some really good holes and some hole designs I’ve never seen before; especially #9! The 19th hole, a “playoff hole,” was a nice touch and came into play between me and my buddy! We both pared though, so maybe build a 20th? :) There was a lot of water, but the course was wide open and playable by every skill level. We played very fast but caught a 5-some on 17 that was playing very slow. I didn’t see any marshals. There were, however, several people around the course working on keeping it looking sharp, a big difference from a lot of courses and the attention to the course is obvious. Highly recommend. My only complaint is the availability of food. After the round, we went to the grill to eat and the kitchen was closed. I’m from Texas, so not sure it’s a COVID thing or just not enough business at 4PM on Tuesday, but I would have liked to try the food.

Fun but challenging

This is a fun but very difficult track. Choose your tee box wisely, because a lot of these holes are the more difficult holes on their particular courses! Conditions were not great, but it is November.. Greens were pretty good, but pretty slow. Very few pitch marks on the greens. We were off the paths after a pretty good rain the day before, so drainage seemed great. My only complain is there seems to be a lot of deferred maintenance around the course. Bunkers were reviewed "under repair" a while back and still are, with a lot of them totally unplayable.

Great Course

Second time I've played this course and I can't say enough. Greens are as good as anything available. Course was in great shape, especially for "winter" conditions. Grounds crew was out blowing leaves off the course, so everything looked sharp. I had the course to myself, basically. Great experience; highly recommend. I don't have anything negative to say. I "splurged" a month ago or so to play Black Horse, and this course was in significantly better shape than Black Horse. I'll definitely be back.

Pace of Play, PLEASE!

This was my second time to play here, and I love the track. I took a friend to show off the course. The kid at the front desk was looking at something on his phone while we checked in and we were obviously bothering him.. anyways, who cares, but pace of play was horrendous.. I gave us 4:30 to finish, as it was cold and rained heavily the day before (4+ inches - course was very playable despite..) and we finished 9 holes in 2:50...!!! Behind a foursome, and we didn't even catch them until the 3rd hole.. We couldn't even finish our round because of these guys.. I stopped at the proshop to complain and the older gentleman working there was on his phone. Noticing I was frustrated, he asked if he could help me. I told him we had to leave because the group ahead of us took 2:50 on the front, he said "ok," and went back to the phone call. Regulate the pace of play, please.. It makes for a much better experience for everyone on the course, not just the one group who doesn't mind aggravating everyone else.

One of my favorite layouts.

The course conditions were pretty good this time. I absolutely love the layout! The holes are so interesting. Tough par 3's, a wide range of par 4's and good par 5's. A must play. I drive 1 hour to play this course and do it at least once or twice a month.

Only complaint is the guy behind the counter wasn't very friendly. I made the assumption its because I booked a discounted round on golfnow, but who knows, he may have gotten in a wreck on the way to work... Waitstaff in the grill was very friendly.

Instant favorite!

I was in town from Houston for a wedding and was looking for something to play that would showcase the area. First tee times available were 1:30, but a call and a “pretty-please” later and I had a 9:30- plenty early to make the wedding! Incredible experience from the staff on making that happen.

If you are anywhere close, you have to play this course! Easily the best conditioned Bermuda course I’ve ever played. The bent grass greens were a great touch and unexpected. The layout was a challenge to say the least, but my understanding is the course was built to test a division 1 golfer but after what felt like a whoopin’ I ended up a little over a stroke over my card average, so it was definitely playable. Very hilly and a true test on every level. Also great views especially if you aren’t a local. I just can’t say enough good about the course or my experience. Soft, receptive greens, which I like.

Had lunch afterwards, food was great and the bartender even recommended a great local beer after asking me what I drank in Texas. I’ve played some good ones and I’d put this with any of them. I have no idea when I’ll be back, but I’ll play this one again!

Nice Surprise

I've been hesitant to play here because I've heard bad things about course conditions. I was very pleasantly surprised. Conditions were as good or better than any other similarly priced course and this is one of my favorite layouts. The par 3's were all beautiful holes. Par 5's were all different lengths including one that was 425 yards (Black box)! I'm usually an automatic layup, but even I had to go for this one! All lengths of par-4's. I just can't say enough about the layout. Bunkers were really my only complaint- well documented in other reviews. I would suggest agreeing to a "lift-rake-and-place" rule in your own group or as a local rule for the course until the bunkers can be maintained by the staff. Greens were pretty sandy, but rolled great. Average speed for the area. Quite a bit of water. There was the grassy weeds around the course, but very little of it was in the fairways, etc. Pace of play was great and I played at 8:00AM on Sunday! The course is obviously operating with a limited budget, but for the cost this is one of my new favorites. There was also some repairs taking place on #1, so I know they are putting money back into the course. Definitely recommend; definitely will be back.

Tight

First time and I had pretty low expectations, as I try to have when I pay less than $15. This one of the tightest courses I've played and I would highly recommend for players looking to put their accuracy off the tee through its paces. Accuracy is a must, but more so, eventually, the tightness and treelined fairways will put your scrambling to the test the way few other courses will. One of the great things about golfnow hot deals is it has me playing so many different courses. This course needs to be in every players lineup just to keep you honest. Condition was ok or below. Greens rolled good. Plenty of water, OB's and holes of all lengths. Say what you want about the course, it is not "more of the same" Houston golf.

Good track

One of the best public course options and most expensive on S/SE side of town. If you can pick up a round in the $30's or less it is a great value. Drastically different feel from the Lakes course, and a better course/layout/design, in my opinion. Pretty easy and gettable from the whites, where I play, so I typically play some of my best golf here. Couple of the guys in the group played farther back and it seemed like it would be much more difficult from farther back. Without a good discount I'll look somewhere else, especially considering I'm driving 45 minutes or so, but with a good price, I'm always happy to go! Based on this and past experiences, I believe ownership is looking to take care of their customers. Always a treat to play Highlands.

Great Course

First time I played and I really enjoyed the course. Another example of the great selection on GolfNow. With a discounted tee time on the Hot Deals section, this is a must play! Great layout, great track, good walk. Great test. I didn't try any of the amenities, but the club house/grill, etc,, seemed to be very modern, clean, etc. A bit of a drive for me, but no doubt I'll be back. All things considered and with multiple Hot Deal tee times available at different courses, this will be one of my top picks.
