If You Like the DMV, You'll Love This Place
A couple of weeks ago I showed up to the course on a Thursday afternoon. Before I got to the clubhouse, the starter asked me if I had a tee time. I did not and he told me that I couldn't play. They had a few leagues going out - no problem. So, the next week I made a tee time to ride 9 on the blue course. I checked in at the pro shop, got a receipt and a cart, then went to the tee. The starter came out and told me that I couldn't play the blue course. Why not? Course policy. But I've already paid! Doesn't matter.
Highland Park is a great piece of property, a nice layout, and has improved a lot over the last couple of years. The next step is to improve the professionalism and friendliness of the staff.
Practice Play Highlands Blue
Almost had the course to myself so great practice time. Tees and greens in very good condition. Fairways ok. Course pretty straight and long. People were friendly. I’ll come back for another practice round.
Country club fairways
Staff friendly
Course layout beautiful
Pace of play good
Tough greens
No carts
There was a complete shortage of carts. The wait time was 3 hours minimum for a cart. Overall the course was easy though and I would recommend if you want to walk.
Solid test.
Both Highland courses, Red and Blue, were both in very poor shape not too long ago. Both have come back nicely. Looks like they put someone in charge that knows what they are doing and you can tell they are putting money into the upkeep. I grew up on this course. So glad it’s playable again. Does the course have rough spots? Sure. The greens have always been the strong suit of the course. When I played they were aerated, but once they come back, they are going to be great. Country club like greens. True. Fast.
Excellent Value
This is a long, straight course. Nothing particularly fancy. Every year the quality of the greens and fairways improves. Today the greens on the Blue course were excellence! The staff are wonderful. There are no frills, no hot food, which is not an issue for most. Over, it is an excellent value.
Needs some work
Course has several holes in the fairways and cart paths are only partial to show you the way to the next hole. The course is challenging but not too long. Greens were in great shape and very fast.
Horrible
They booked an outing of dozens of people over my tee time. The person said I don't know how it happened it wasn't my fault. Really, that is the best you can do?
