Blue at Highland Park Golf Course

Brought some friends from out of town, I was embarrassed ..

Decent course to play a weekend round at. First time playing here but it seemed the fairways were really wet with some ponds in area and some portions of the fairway almost spongy. Greens on some holes had chunks missing and holes from other groups leaning on the pin after pulling it out of the cup leaving holes punched in the green around the cup on a few holes (not the courses fault, more so the golfers who play here ). I’d like to play this course after it’s been dry for a while, I’ll be back.

The blue course at Highland should be closed after rain events, not just walking only due to lack of cart path. Large pools of water on the fairway, wet greens, etc. Have played Blue before and enjoyed it.

We ended up switching to 9 on the Red Course when they called prior to check-in to offer walking only on Blue or 9 on Red with a cart on cart path only. Red still had pooled water in areas and on some greens.

Was pleasantly surprised. Good for newer golfer and average hacks like myself. Course was in great shape. Challenging enough with good changes in elevation. Staff was very friendly. Fairly priced. Would play again.

Good old blue. In good shape generally. There are some bad spots in fairways but otherwise in good shape. Greens in better than average shape.

The new management team already starting to change some things. For now if you want to get out on short notice close to Cleveland this is a good bet. Highland is getting better and expect to be busier in future.

Owned by the city of Cleveland, Highland Park is 36 holes. Red and Blue courses. We played the Blue course. Over 6500 yards par 71 from White tees. Several par fours over 430 yards. Greens were in good shape. Fairways were good. Traps need a lot of work. Tee boxes were rough as the course gets a lot of play. Good value at 39 bucks with a cart. I think it is cheaper if you go through their website rather than GN.. cashier was friendly. No real amenities other than beer, pop, water and candy bars. It's worth a look.

We had to play Red. Since Blue was under water and features no cart paths.

Not a real problem as both are a good value for the money!
