Rough shape
The course was in rough shape .. I guess they had some issues from last year with water. The greens, fairways we're is ok shape. Hopefully in a few months it will be in better shape.
Cut short
Due to the weather I only got to play 9 holes. The course is good for my level (intermediate) and the staff was really friendly! I will definitely be back.
Highland
the course has struggled for years with management and maintenance it looks like they're really making an effort to upgrade the course and hardly anyone played today which was a shame
Getting better
This course is getting better. I would not have recommended it last year. Greens still need lots of work but they are night and day from before. Also, fairways are better maintained. As long as price is cheap, it’s still a fun course to play with lots of long holes. Staff is great, but inside is still pretty barren- mostly empty. I’ll keep
Great place to practice shots
Listen this course is a great place to shake the rust off. Fairways were fine and the course layout is long and a lot of fun. The only problem are the greens. You are not going to be able to actually play a round here with the greens in the condition they are. The city probably has a small chemical budget and is just trying to make it work. Great place for hackers and drinkers. It is what it is.
Highland Park Red
When ever a course reverts back to being run by a city instead of a golf management group you are going to have maintenance problems. The course has come back quite a lot from when it reopened on July. The layout is challenging and the course is rather scenic and historic having been built in the 20s. The staff is very polite and professional. This course should be in much better condition by next year.
Nothing to brag about
Course not in the best shape. Even worse after a rain. Very empty and neglected pro shop. Lot of people jumping holes doing whatever they want.
Not what it used to be
Course staff was very friendly. However, the course was in the worst condition I have seen in years. Fairways were extremely dry with numerous dead patches and the greens were very inconsistent. Got the round for $10 on golfnow, so I wasn't too upset about the condition of the course. I would not pay full price to play there.
DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE
Do not let the cheap price fool you. I have played this course about 6 times and the condition of the course the last two times were horrible. Greens were dried out to the point of the ground cracking. I can't believe how far what ever company owns this course has let it go. The fairways were just as bad. Patches of no grass and dried cracked mud. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE.
Inexpensive through golf now
This course is a good value with a discount, otherwise I would not recommend it.
Great value!
I got a great deal on a round of 18, and has a blast!! Super fun, great carts, great greens, and I will be back!
Nothing to write home about
I played Highland (Red) on a Saturday morning. Its a muni course owned by the City of Cleveland. The course is surprisingly hilly eventhough its located in the city. The greens were just ok. Some greens had bare spots and there were tons of divot marks that went un repaired. I had never played the course before so I wanted to give it a try. It wasn't horrible but lets just say that I doubt I would play the course again.
Not bad if you get a deal
I've golfed here a few times in the past. This was by far the best experience. The first 2 times I had issues with waiting even though I had a tee time and rude staff..
Today's round was better. Played the red course. Young man inside working the front desk was friendly and accommodating.
The greens were overall in good shape besides the 2 holes that were covered in goose droppings lol..
Overall I'd say highland park is fun to play. there are a few par 4s that can be reached with a decent drive.. Weekday pace was pretty fast. If you get a deal definitely check out highland park.. They have to win me over before I recommend my own friends to play there.
The worst golf course I've ever been to
The course is in abysmal condition. The fairways have heaps of dead grass on them. The rough is littered with dandelions and weeds. Just kiss your ball goodbye if it lands in the rough. It looks like it hasn't been cut in two weeks. The pace of play was very slow. No doubt because of the course conditions. Please stay away. I'll never go back again.
