Needs lots of care
First time playing the course, will not go back. Stormy weather day before, greens were covered with branches, leaves and everything else you can think of. We saw a worker blowing of 1 of the greens, but that was the only one, all the rest needed to be done. Fairways were cut, but on some holes if you hit into the rough, you were not finding your ball. The holes that they did cut the rough area, our group found over 15 golf balls. The rough was so high, that even after they cut it, the cut grass was still so thick and heavy you had no chance on hitting the ball out. Greens were not in good condition. Will not be back.
Not worth the money
The course was in terrible condition. The course was in terrible condition.
People Friendly - Poor Conditions
The people working there were nice and friendly, but the conditions on the blue course were pretty poor. Think they are little behind on the maintenance for the season and there was some awful tall grass and grass clippings all over the place. Made finding the ball tough.
good solid golf
If you are looking for no frills. conveniently located golf at a good price, the blue 18 is for you...The overall course has been improved w/ the new ownership & the fast greens w/ the subtle breaks remain some of the best around. The white tees remain a good challenge at 6400+ yards & pace of play is usually very good, especially during the week.The new staff is always courteous & friendly as well.
Nice course!
Having not played the Blue Course in 10 years and hearing about the improvements, I wanted to play it. I'm glad I did. I cut through 18 holes in under 3 hours. The course really has come around in the decade since I last played there. The staff was very friendly and took good care of me. I look forward to my next round there!
Loud, slow, bad conditions
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.
Good Practice
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.
Nice surprise
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...
Amazing Improvements
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
They are on the right track.
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.
Nice course
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.
Good deal.
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.
needs some attention
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
Worth it for practice
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.
Good for the money
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.
Playing in a pasture.
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.
New Management has turned this course around
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.
