Wow what a comeback

Always a favorite.

Place has done a 180 since last year, all new greens are terrific. They made a few changes to layout as well which all are a plus. Not sure what others are saying when saying it is not good.
Wonderful day and will be back again.

Staff was awesome as always!!

Had a great time

Course is as good as everyone else in area. I guess people do not understand Florida has winter too!!!
Tees and fairways were fine, two greens had issues but can see they are working on it. When I asked I was told it was form the two hard frosts they had.

From Pro Shop staff and Cart guys were fun to welcome us.

We were playing somewhere else but canceled as we got a coupon to come back here for a good rate!!

Wonderful Time As Always

From start to finish this was a good time. Very busy so starter joined me with others which I am fine with. I did over hear someone yelling at the staff for no reason. Seems to be what people do now a days. Not sure why? You should just be happy to being playing golf.
Course is in great shape. As from what I read in other reviews, they must have had a bad round and blame everything and everyone else.

Staff super friendly!!! Could not have asked for a better day, will be back!!

Friendliest course around

Ok so as a Florida Resident it was noce to see a course has finally realized that visitors are not really here and giving the Florida Residents a GREAT rate!!

Booked on Highlands site for $39 FL Res was worth every penny. The staff here is always so friendly. From check in to the starter and cart guys, they make you feel welcome.

Course was nice greens rolled great, wish other would fill their divots and fix ball marks however I did see a guy out there just filling divots.

I will definietly be playing again soon, thanks for the great rate Highlands!!

Staff great as always, fairways and rough filled in nicely. Tees some good some ok we tee it up anyway.

Gets better each week

With recent rain the course is looking good. Staff always great. Looks like they are fixing up a lot of things on course so I asked about all the activity. Guess they are back at full staff and things are sure looking like it....

Also they have full protocols in place for the virus.

Play here often and will be back soon

Guess people have a bad day and blame the course

Played here as a single, joined up by staff. Cart guys were right at my car to get me clubs. Shop staff was very accomedating. They always start on the back 9 this time of year however have flipped 9's which they said were for many reasons including pace of play. Guess it works as I played in under 4 hours.

As far as course, they made a few changes all good that i can see. I read the guy thatsaid bunkers were rolled through, maybe beofre wrting a review he should ask someone why they looked that way. I did. They are waste areas and were just tilled. Due toy the soft sand they have to wait a few days before they can rake cause sand is so soft.

Everything is was nice, overseeded fairways and tees. Greens rolled fine.

I will be back!!!

Great fall conditions

I guess a couple reviews about conditions have no idea how Florida overseed works. The course was in awsome shape. They just cut evrything incuding tees and fairways and conditions cant be better.. Staff was great......
Course conditons some of the best I have palyed on. They also have upgraded a lot of the bunkers, tee markers and flags and pins and they are working on clubhouse. I asked staff about upgrades and they said they also installed a new irrigation system... place is looking wonderful!!

No hesitation to play here again. Not sure why others say stuff that is not true, naybe they just had a bad round and blame it on the course.....

Couse is really going all out

Played several times and I have to tell you they are really going all out. Greens were great.... they overseeded the tees and fairways which are full and thick. New tee markers are a big improvement as well and new pins and flags.

They are doing some renovations to club house and it is looking very nice!!

Staff as always was great from check in to departing. Not sure about the couple of reviews that question the course, either they just played bad that day or were reviewing the wrong course.

Great shape

Have played many area courses this summer that were in terrible shape. Highlands was not one of those. Looks like they are doing a bit of reshaping fairways when asked was told they are getting ready for busy season. Greens ran great!!

Have played many times in the past and would say this is best I have seen the course. Would not be afraid to recommend to others. Staff was very nice and although they have other food, hot dogs are always one of my favs.....

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We have had a wonderful season as far as course conditions.
Grounds crew is knocking it out this summer.

We do get a lot of thumbs up on our hot dogs.....

Look forward to seeing you again,

Terrible Condition

We made our time and were never told that greens were aerified.
We get there and we were told that it was aerified and gave us dollars off but never told us.....ready......
3 TEMP greens on back nine!!!!

Place had weeds grown out around tees etc, could tell they had not mowed. We played on a Friday and they cant even make it look nice for the weekend???

Staff seems to know that the place is on trouble.... said they are trying to get money from bank to repair the greens (after we finished).

I would never go back there, in fact we had a group of 8 and none of us will go back.

Not being upfront with people is only going to bury this place faster.....what a shme was a nice place 2 years ago
