You have to be kidding

It's almost May and the course is not in good shape. The greens are the worst I have seen in the 12 years I have been playing there. They should be offering 1/2 price discounts. The grounds crew ought to be replaced

Not good

Always one of my favorites, but not today. Sloooow bumpy greens and terrible bunkers. Grass was thin on fairways. For a $40 senior rate, I'm very disappointed. Lots of courses around with better conditions and price.

Not happy

I love the Highlands but it's going downhill. Slowest greens ever, traps unplayable, and the first cut of rough was at least 1" too high. Hate to see iconic course lose its appeal. Had to quit playing the Glen because of conditions and now the Highlands. Say it ain't so!

Great Day

The course was in pretty good shape but greens were slow, slower than they should have been. Other than that, it was great!

Wonderful

I actually live at Heritage Ranch and moved here because of the golf course and overall atmosphere. It's a great course and can be difficult. I play here about once a week. It costs more than others, but it is well worth it. The course is hilly unlike many courses nearby. Fast greens that can be deceptive also.

TOO WINDY

Weather got better in the PM, but still too much wind. Greens rolled well, but fairways were a little thin. Love the course. I'm sure it will improve this Spring.

Terrible bunkers, thin fairway grass. Worst shape I have ever seen this course before. Sorry, I won't go back. Seem to have lost interest in satisfying us golfers.

Course was in pretty good shape for February, Several greens on the front had spots that were mostly painted dirt, but overall can't complain.

Going Downhill

I don't understand the reasoning for not taking care of the course. Greens we're bumpy and fairways were thin. When you don't see any workers on a course that tells me all I need to know. Think I'll pass until they put players first and work on the course.

Too Wet

The course was really too wet to play, it should have been closed. Greens were very fast. With the wet fairways and the wind, scoring was difficult. For us old guys 6200 yds. turned into 7000 yds. with these conditions. When it dries out it should be great. I really can't believe it was so wet since it hadn't rained in 4 days

Happy to play

It was cart path only, but I was happy just to play. They had a small tournament about to start, but they let us start on #10 and were very nice about it. It was appreciated.

Liked Course

It was crowded, but moved along ok. The rough needed mowing as it was about 2" too high. Other than that, all is good in the golf world.

Course was in really good shape. The greens were extremely fast with a lot of break. I don't think I have ever played there when the greens were so difficult but that is OK

First Time Playing

Liked Course

Best greens I have played in 2 years. Fairways sucked. I asked an employee why the fairways were so brown, "we don't have the money to pay for water". I was shocked! Very upscale houses surround the course. I'd be angry if I was a home owner. Other than the fairways, it was great. Can't say enough about the fantastic greens

Too hot

Teed off at 9:00 and we were sweating by 10:00. Fairways were in good shape, bunkers need to be blown up and redone, and greens rolled true but were a bit too slow for my liking. This course is just hit or miss and has been that way for years now. I do like the white tees distances for us seniors. Price is decent!

Great Day

Course needs a little work, bunkers not great, fairways ok (not as good as Lakes) but pace of play was great for a Saturday afternoon. Overall it's a great deal for the money
