Eh
Course is okay, they have improved the layout a good amount, but every time I play there, no matter the day or time, its backed up. They send people out with no care in the world. As far as amenities, there are none…
Highland Red - Good value
Tees and greens are hard, tees a little lumpy, but in pretty good shape. Several ruts in the fairways and cart paths that can be jarring. Nevertheless, I like the course and think it’s a great value. Desk staff and starter were very friendly.
Seems To Be Improving
The administration of this course has improved since Troon has taken over. Has a way to go before It's really worth the hot deal money that they are charging currently. As long as the course keeps improving in condition. It should be worth the price in the future..
Fivesomes
What is with the fivesomes at Highland, especially in morning. Played Friday morning with two fivesomes in front of us for first nine. Takes away from the joy of the day. Should not be allowed. Hopefully, Troon Management can "manage" this ongoing/long running problem
Needs work
I hope the new management company can bring this course back. We played the read course, and the greens were in really good shape. However, everything else was below average. I know we got a lot of rain recently, but the rough in spots was knee-high. Lastly, the clubhouse, which is huge, is a barren wasteland with absolutely nothing in it.
I played real early season, zero complaints
Good course, I would 100% play again. Staff was friendly and helpful, we played while it was wet and way too early in the season to judge the course conditions to the full extent. (Ohio weather). Beside that, everything else was perfect. I live about 35 mins away and will 100% make the drive to play again. My only warning is be in shape if you’re walking/carrying throughout the nice hilly landscape.
Also, a lot of restaurants/bars within 10 minutes so a good way to spend a day.
Nice round on a warm October Day
I live very close to this course and tell myself that I should play it more often. Today I finally did.
The Red course is the easier course at Highland Park. Nothing fancy. Course was in OK shape (except for the bunkers which were awful). Greens rolled OK even though they showed signs of being punched somewhat recently. Rough was short which is fine on a course that gets lots of play by local players of all abilities.
Management has done a great job of bringing these courses back from the dead about 3-4 years ago. It would be GREAT if they could step up the course conditions a bit and fill out the Pro shop and food/drink experience. Then again, I only paid $2/beer so maybe keep that part.
Next year I will play it more. Maybe even join a weeknight league.
Great comeback
I had not played this course in at least 5 years, so I was very pleasantly surprised at what great condition the course was in. The greens were very quick and the fairways we nice. The rough was very user-friendly. I will be back. I will also put in a plug to bring our league here. The snack shop was closed during our visit.
