Blue at Highland Park Golf Course

I've been playing highland park for years and one of the biggest gripes I have with the blue course is the random holes on the fairways that could easily be filled. It was tolerable due to price but since they raised prices I would expect more for the price.

The management company hired by the city is doing a terrific job. The blue course still has some condition issues, often caused by mis-driven carts, but is still fun to play. (Most of the effort until now has gone into the red course both before and after its redesign. I suspect they will turn to the fairways on the blue course next.)Greens miraculously have remained very nice through the years. Especially nice for those who like a more open course offering fewer opportunities for penalties. Customer service is also friendly and customer focused.

Place looks great and is much improved under new ownership

I can't think of a course in worse shape that I've ever played in 45 years. Greens were like shag carpets with patches of rough. Fairways were swamps. They charge $26 to walk for seniors and that's the winter rate! Also be careful if you find a deal, it's probably for walking only. They haven't removed a single broken tree branch from the fairways. The management is obviously doing a cash grab as long as they can get away with it.

Other than the tee box extensions, course design is simple and fun. Greens are not goofy golf like some of the metropark courses I won't mention.

I played 9 holes here and it does not finish at the club house. We were walking because carts were not an option and we had to walk 1.3 miles across 3-4 different holes to get back to the clubhouse.

Was hesitant to come here as the recent review this year have been very negative. I found the staff to be pleasant and pace of play was not an issue. Course conditions as many reviews mention are not great, many spots of dead grass and at times significant holes in the ground. I did not find this to impact my play as the greens were in reasonably good condition and in the few instances my ball hit a rough spot of fairway I just moved it a few feet. Tee boxes were serviceable and the cart paths are definitely a little rough. All in all with the hot deal the price was okay for an urban course and I would return. If course conditions are a major factor then I would not recommend but for a causal golfer who wants a fun round i see no issue, they are doing a construction project after all. Blue Course btw!

Austin and his team are doing a great job. The golf course has come a long way. The greens were magnificent and the fairways was also the magnificent. I was also shocked by the restaurant. They have a real chef now the gumbo was also excellent. They also have a live entertainment on the weekends. You get your moneys worth when you pay Highland Park Golf Course.

I really enjoy the course, but the cart paths are horrible. Either fill with gravel or some type of material. I think my teeth are loose. I think the greens are great most fairways are well above average.

The course was in good condition, though the landscaping/ grounds crews were all over the place mowing and blowing. Several tees had been pulled to facilitate mowing then not replaced. The Blue Course does not return to the Clubhouse when making the “Turn” at 10? This could be defined at the beginning so food and drink prep could occur prior to start of the round. Several holes do not travel into the next without a little search, there could be signage to help routes.

Pretty boring layout. Very few bunkers if any at all. Several tea shots that you can a driver, including number one which is annoying. Greens were decent but slow. Would not play again

Certainly not a top golf course in the area, but they are trying to do upgrades. Pretty good pricing and nice staff.4-4.5 out of 10.

I've played this course a lot, and will play it again. It's the local public option and we'll worth the price tag. Course is in better shape than last year, but no without some issues. I'm looking forward to the added length and new tee boxes that come with it.

Greens were in good shape, fairways were alright, tee boxes need work though. It's hard to tee off when there is no place flat enough to have the ball on the same level as your feet.

Rough is deep and the greens are smaller than you might think. Great fun to play though.

I really like the course layout. A little long for seniors from gold tees on some par 4’s. The greens were recently aerated so very bumpy. To be honest, the cart paths are horrible at best. The LPGA is supposedly going to play an event there..going to need some major renovations to cart paths, traps and fairways to be respectable.
