Dauphin Highlands Golf Course

Played this course twice. Love everything about it. Now a favorite for the money.

There was a time some would consider this a premier public course, but it is going downhill. Greens are rather pock-marked, rolled smooth but the grain is significant. Fast one way, very slow the other. This happens.

The tees were in really bad shape, hard to find a decent place to tee off on some holes. Why? We had no sand mix in our cart, so we stopped at #1 tee to get a full bottle. ALL 30 or 40 bottles were entirely empty; no wonder the tees and fairways are looking so bad. This was a nice course - in times gone by.

50 years playing, about 10th visit to DH.

Excellent condition, very good value for money. Staff were very helpful. All in all a great day of golf.

Excellent course. Great condition and excellent staff. Play was a little slow but not to bad

Maybe it was just my day. I played well. Played with three well mannered golfers.

The course far exceeded my expectations.

Course in great shape. Don’t think should allow people to walk on a busy Sunday afternoon. It seemed to very slow the pace of play. Took 5 and half hours to play this afternoon. Otherwise great experience as golf course is in great shape and greens were fantastic.

The course is alright, but I've often been told, "you gotta play Highlands". As my title stated, not sure what all the fuss is. The layout is okay, the conditions are average, the pace of play this particular day was horrible (due in part by the twosome I was paired with), 2B limestone rocks in a few sand traps, and a few tee boxes felt like a slip n slide with loose sand all over them.

Not my first round here and not bad enough to make it my last. Just not impressed with this course in general. Hot Deals and 15 minutes from my house make it an option from time to time but there are several courses in the area with far better conditions and a more economical price.

For my first time playing this course, I must say I was impressed with the conditions. Aerated greens were not a problem; ball was rolling quite well on the greens.

Pace of play can be a bit slow but that's always subjective (I still finished my round in 5 hours which I think is fine)

I play Dauphin Highlands a few times a year and have been doing so for 4-5 years now. This is the worst I have seen the course. Firstly, in my bucket of balls on the range, 6 of them were broken. The pace of play, particularly on the front 9 was slow, we waited on many tees, which pace has always been an issue. Then, the majority of the greens were littered with divot marks, old and new. There was sand all over the tee boxes as well, also with unrolled divots, even on par 4 and 5’s. Then, as we were making the turn, we were notified that there was league play beginning and that groups would be “mixing in” with us as we continued play on the back 9. This is unacceptable, particularly for how much the greens fees have gone up over the years. The staff did not have a good explanation other than that “management” was to blame for our tee times being allowed booked, knowing that league play would be coming in. This is all disappointing and it’s sad to see Dauphin Highlands in this state, a steady decline in quality over the years, with an increase in price to boot.

I got to play this course for a good rate otherwise I would have been very disappointed. 8 min tee times are horrible for any course let alone a course charging 80 to play. I know it was a nice day and full course so I can understand some waiting and some back up at times. However, over a 5 hour is always a negative thing. They need to spread out the tee times more to avoid it. I would only recommend this course during slow periods or if you enjoy waiting to hit most shots. As for conditions. They were solid for a spring round where our temps have been up and down.

Good value, solid condition lots o hole variety. Can be a championship challenge from the back tees or a playable enough course for higher handicap players. Relatively wide off the tees with lots of elevation change throughout. My favorite public course in the Hershey area

Course was In excellent shape for February. Beautiful day. Beautiful course. Will play a ton more.
