Fun and Challenging Course & Nice Staff
I very much enjoyed the course. The front nine offers plenty of lateral hazards and obstructions to help you practice course management and shot shaping. The layout of the course adds to the challenge with plenty of dog legs. I recommend playing this course if you want to get better.
Now, the cart path was also challenging. It looked like an earthquake came through and shifted the concrete up, down, left, and right. We also had a huge downpour of rain prior to my tee time, so I had to drive even slower to avoid the pools of water.

Very nice layout. Tee boxes were thin. Greens were sanded and slow to putt. Would like to play it in the spring.
Average golf @ Highland Creek
Average experience.
There are way too many blind shots with rolling hills and berms. You easily get in trouble with fairway and green side bunkers.
#18 is a 470 yard par 5. You have to clear about 150 yards of water which is fine as long as the wind isn't blowing
Has Potential
Very good layout but greens were aerated and of course GolfNow did not post that
I'll try this place again next season
Best Course in Charlotte area so far
Played this course today for the first time and it was in great condition. Fairway and greens were well kept and the place of play was fast as well. Got a great deal on Golfnow and for that price or even more there aren’t any better course in the area unfortunately. Will be playing here more often.
It’s making a comeback
Great layout. Greens are way better than they used to be. Not as great as it was 10 years ago, but headed in the right direction. Fairways and rough were great, tee boxes and greens were good.
Staff is always great. Course is a great value!
The Greens were Great
I have always liked Highland Creek, and for good reason...they take care of there course! The Greens were in great condition - fairways and tee boxes in good condition like wise ! Keep up the good work Highland Creek!
Slow round
Overall the course was great. From tee to fairways to greens were in great shape. This course has always been a challenge for me... But none the less.. I'll be back to tackle this gem!!!!
Solid.
Can’t complain too much for the price. Cart paths are a little torn up, and no water stations on the course on a 95 degree day (COVID, I get it), but overall a really positive experience!
