City of Cleveland is turning this into great course.
What a mistake!
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..........
New Management Group should be ashamed of themselves
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.
Classic layout in the middle of the city
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
Good progress
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.
great layout. newd som upkeep
I grew up playing this course. Two years ago ,it was unplayable. The city of Cleveland almost ran it into the ground. New management is doing what they can to bring it back to its former glory.
The course was fun to play.
It was a very relaxed and comfortable round of golf. We were not rush at any point in time. However, we played the blue course which I am told does not have as many clients, therefore it was in rough condition. The fairways and rough, okay.. Greens and collars could use some work.. Tees boxes decent shape. Overall I had a good time. I will be back to play the red and blue courses again. Great Price!
classic layout
Highland Blue is said to be Links style, but does have several trees mature trees lining the fairways. I enjoyed the layout of the course. It was challenging without being overely difficult. The 18th is one of the best finshing holes in the area.
Just a local dogtrack
Not very interesting course. Mostly flat and open. Hardly any water to speak of and there are weeds growing in the traps. Other than being long, no real challenges. Other than a really inexpensive price on golfnow, not worth going to unless you are there to just practice swinging.
Same old Highland
I had not played Highland for a couple of years and hoped the new owner had made improvements. Nothing much has changed, but he has only owned the course for less than a year.
Another golfer saw my husband struggling to put his clubs in the car and came over to help us, she was very helpful.
nice old course
a very nice old links style course with some hills and trees. i remember the greens being much faster and easier to putt but the rain we have been having lately may lead to the lack of attention to the greens...friendly staff and a nice clubhouse...ill go back again in a month or two and hopefully the greens will be in top form by then.
Course in great shape.
I always enjoy playing this course because it is a lot more challenging than the Red Course.
the course was in great shape
I think the course was in great shape. the office staff were helpful and got us out early. the rangers kept the golfers moving
long par 4's with few traps
Hilly course with good greens. 450 yard uphill par 4's with few traps. A fair amount of creeks at key spots. Fairways were rough. 27 holes available. Really nice people. New carts and newer clubhouse. Great location off Chagrin Blvd. The paths between holes aren't clear, plus few signs. $11.00 for 18 with a cart WOW
getting better
fairways were the best i'd seen them in 20 years, but still below average. the greens were too slow, the hard, fast greens used to be the best part of the course. the rough was simply unplayable. only play for a very low rate. l still love the layout.
Needs mown badly
I lost a lot of balls that were hit dead straight some of fairways werent even mown properly
No good
Highland course used to be a nice jewel in the area with rolling fairways and wonderful greens. Unfortunately the course is now in dismal shape due to lack of course maintenance. This course should pay the golfer to play it.....its such a shame.
