Dauphin Highlands Golf Course

Recently taken over by Billy Casper golf mgmt company. Conditions are great and getting better weekly

The condition of the course was excellent except for the sand traps. It rained the day before, but there was plenty of time to rake them. Hard as a rock, most of them. I played from the senior tees and the length was fair from my distance off the tee.Greens in excellent shape and fast, which I like.

Greens need work, but everthing else is top notch. I like that there is a starter, and it is a very picturesque course

Teed off 30 minutes after scheduled tee time. Staff was apologetic but still cut some folks without tee times out in front of us. When I schedule a tee time, I do it for a reason. It may be a long time before I go back here.

Love this course. One if my favorites in the area. Good movement on the greens and great fairways. Always well kept, greens were slow due to top dressing but usually have good speed. Try to play it at least twice a month. I play the blue tees, from the tips it is a monster.

Certainly willing to give them the benefit of the doubt given the time of year and the harsh winter but the greens were rough. It is one of the better layouts in the area. I really like some of the tee shots, definitely some quality holes.

Rolling hill's. Great condition and well maintained. Challenging holes and must place your shots.

Played on a saturday morning, no rush, friendly employees, course was in good condition except a few greens. Make sure to get some information on a few holes or you will be penalized.

I normally do not review anything, but I feel I must warn you. The practice green is pristine as all the greens usually are. You get to the first hole and wander what happened....then the feeling continues through the rest of your round. I'm not talking about the aerification either but the massive bare spots and residual sand everywhere!!! The first par 5 on the back 9 where the green is tucked into the trees barely has grass on it. I bragged the place up to a friend who came up from Philly to play it with me, and I felt kind of embarrassed. What a shame for a place that typically is the best public course value in the Harrisburg area. I paid $39 on golf now for the round it should have been $19!! Having said that the rest of the course was in good shape. Bunkers could have used some work...but I shouldn't have been in there in the first place. Service is always great and the staff is always very cordial and professional. I will go back when the greens heal!

I have played this course a couple of times and it is a nice course and one worth playing. With the exception of a couple of green buried in the woods, the course was in very nice shape. It has a nice layout which meanders throughout the course (as opposed to some cookie cutter courses where all holes run parallel to each other). There are some nice elevation changes and a really good variety of holes to keep things interesting. Definitely check this one out.

Course was in great shape...greens a little softer and slower than I've seen them normally...there's a couple greens on the back 9 that have some considerable damage...sanded, but didn't really effect play as the pins were set away from the damaged areas...

Dauphin Highlands is a great course for all skill levels. Off the tee, the course is not intimidating at all. You will not lose many balls on your first shot. From there, a handful of greens are a bit "tucked in," but overall it's open. In fact, the only thing that kept me from labeling this course as "Easy" is the fact that I'm a hacker, so no course is easy to me. Anyone lower than a 12 handicap will most likely tear this course up.

The course is in really good shape. It is definitely worth playing, especially if you can get a deal on here. The standard rates might get a bit steep for what you're getting, but if you are reading this review on GolfNow, chances are you've already learned never to pay the full rate. I'd say this course is worth $45 to play, but can be had for less.

Great course can't wait to come back. Had to use every club in the bag. Length was important on some holes and position was important on others. Two greens were in bad shape. They had informed us at the first tee. On one the hole was placed in the middle of the damaged area and on the other the damaged area was not in play. I thought a couple of the par threes were a bit extreme for us 'white tee' players. I thought 4.5 hours was reasonable for a Sunday.

My favorite Harrisburg course. Staff very friendly and course is well maintained.

Greens were super fast and a Great Value in the golf world
I would play again if traveling to Harrisburg-Hershey area

I try to play Dauphin Highlands at least once a year. It's one of my favorite in my local area. The course was, and usually is in good condition.

It has huge greens that are usually fast. Be careful not to be above the hole on some pin locations or you will pay. I had two 3 foot birdie putts that I missed and finish at least 6 feet away for par, even after barely touching the ball on the putts.

Two of the guys I was with played the black tees. At over 7,100 yards, I plays very long for almost all amateurs from there.

I walked this course once and will never do it again as the greens to the next tee is long and the course is hilly.

Dauphin has always been one of my favorite public courses. Not TOO penal if you stray a bit on most holes; greens are super; DO NOT BE ABOVE THE HOLE!!! Will be back several times yet this year.

pace of play miserable...5 hours. instead of trying to make as much $ as possible why not do 10 minute tee time spacing. could use a second marshall. take one your club cleaning guys and make a marshall.

My foursome had a great experience at Dauphin Highlands. Arrived at the course and were immediately greeted in the parking lot by a bag attendant that gave us directions to what level of the club house to enter. Everyone in the pro shop was courteous and shared about promotions they had up coming. Practice area was super with multiple tee areas and four different greens as targets. Starter was super about explaining the yardage markers and pin placements. The course was in phenomenal condition, with some of the best greens I have putted on at a municipal course. Conditions and staff made this a Country Club type experience and we will be back as it was worth the hour plus drive!!!

New management is obviously turning things around. You can tell the difference at Dauphin Highlands now from years past.

Greens are in pretty good shape, fairways are lush and well-maintained, bunkers could use some work but are still MUCH better than area courses.
