Blue at Highland Park Golf Course

Course conditions getting better over the summer. Best shape ice seen it.

Made an 11:15 tee time for the blue course for 2 people. Got there at 5 min to 11 and tried to check in only to stand in the Pro Shop for 10 min while the guy working finished his story with another golfer. He then started telling a story to another employe before finally asking if he could help us. We paid and checked in with the starter. We find out there is an outing going out before us and we'd have to wait to tee off, for 45 min! I didn't make and 11:15 tee time to go out at 12! When we finally did tee off there was a group of about 30 people talking, yelling, carrying on. Needless to say I'm not used to that on the tee box. The rest if the round went okay but very slow. There was no concern for pace if okay or general golf etiquette. The course was in sub par condition. The bunkers were mud and the greens pitted, sandy, and generally not well kept. Save yourself the headache and play one of the areas better courses.

I'm a beginner and just wanted somewhere where my buddies and I could play a round without being a pain to the people behind us. It was a saturday at 1pm and we had maybe 1 person behind us early in the round. It was confusing to see many people basically just driving around the course playing what it seemed like were just random holes. It was no skin off my back. There are some holes that have a bit of difficulty but overall it was just fun.

I play all over the area, but hadn't really heard about highland. Nice course with a great staff. Only two par 5s on the blue side, but I found this course difficult to score on. Great price for what you get. Will come back...

This is a nice course. It is wide open, so you can use other fairways if you choose to!

Everything is OK like green fee and location for me but need to maintain fairway and green.

I used to play this course quite regularly, but because of conditions and service I wouldn't play it if they paid me. Went out there yesterday, 8/16/2014, and was absolutely blown away: the greens and fairways were in remarkable shape, the rough still needs some attention. But given time this will, once again, be a fantastic bargain for the money

Haven't played there in 8 years. It was a dump! Friends said it was coming back The City was out and a golf management company took it over. I couldn't believe what they have done in such a short time.The staff was great, the clubhouse was clean and the food was good. We will definitely be back.

The greens and fairways were in good condition. There are two 18 hole courses blue and red. The blue is 18 holes with no break or turn. If you like to stop and take a break after 9 then play the red. This course is a good value for the money. I will play there again.

I booked the blue course for 18 bucks. Had heard it was in a lot better condition than previous years and it was. Not excellent but up to pr with what it should be. Once the home of pro tournaments, you could tell it was once as it is a nice layout and decently long. For a 15-25 dollar fee this is a great course. You won't lose many balls either. Recommended for what it is.

paid 22 but that was to much. greens had bad cracking on the edges. sands traps looked like cart paths.course good for the beginner only

I was not expecting much from this course -- I was told it was a dog track -- nor did it deliver too much. I had an early tee time, and was able to coast through the course with nobody in front of me (and nobody else seemingly on the course).

There's not much too this course. It's straight and not overly long, but the fairways are very forgiving (the whole course is mashed together, so you'll be on another fairway if you miss yours by 20 yards), so it was a good place to come and practice. Never once did I have to put away the driver for a tee shot. For $25, which is the going rate on golfnow, this course was well worth it.

For 18 holes with riding, $13 was cheap for the course. I intended to play Blue course, but they paired me up with other couples. So I ended up playing alone in Red. Red is more challenging due to water hazards and elevation changes. Blue is better managed with greens and fairways.

Course is in horrible shape. I don't know if they even have a grounds crew to maintain the facility.

Rangers didn't promote letting the 2 somes play through.

No food or drink in the Blue course at all. Made the turn and all I saw was an abandoned snack shack.

Between the poor conditions of the course, the slow play ahead of us, and the fact that I was starving we didn't even bother finishing the round. Gave up after 15 holes.

Save your money and play elsewhere.

The expanded greens and well kept landscaping have made a huge difference. I used to only play this course as a last minute backup. Now I look forward to playing every time.

City of Cleveland is turning this into great course.

Perfect morning....empty golf course. Now I know why. The condition of this course (BLUE side) was abominable. Fairways were cut like the rough should have been. Rough was over the ankles. Tee shots that landed in fairway but rolled into the rough were lost. Grass clippings were left all over the fairway; looked like millions of small gopher holes. ENTIRE landing area in front of 4th green was covered in grass clippings. This has NOTHING to do with the weather--this is poor, lazy, sloppy golf course "maintenance". I walked off after four holes....and still lost six golf balls. THREE immediately around the greens, buried forever in piles of grass clippings. Called MASTER CARD to stop payment on tee time. I live less than one mile away....and won't go back until this is all fixed. If ever..........

The course was in horrible condition. Rough was 6 inches or worse and the clippings from previous mowings were everywhere. Greens were slow and shaggy, fairways were in decent shape. Beer cans were strewn everywhere even in the sand traps. Overall gives a feeling that absolutely nobody cares. New management team should be fired immediately.

Great course with lots of character. Run by the city of cleveland so there isn't much money put into making it country club conditions, but the course is playable and challenging nonetheless

I used to play this course a lot about 10 years ago when the course quality dropped dramatically, and I haven't been back until recently. Now that this course is under new management, this old gem is on its way back to its former glory. This course has 2 eighteens. This is a review for the blue course which features a championship caliber layout. It held an LPGA event in the 70's I believe. Its a pretty straightforward layout that allows you to bang the driver all day, with its length being its main defense. Multiple par 4's over 450 yards from the whites can be daunting, but the course also has enough holes where you can score. A good mix of difficulties keeps it fun. The course's main attraction is the greens though. Super fast,consistent greens are a real treat here. This course isn't done improving, and it isn't perfect, but the progress is very welcome.
