Highlands Golf Course
About
Highlands Golf Course in Tacoma, Wash. is a nine-hole course that can be played in just over an hour. All of the holes are par 3 except for one par 4. It's not your typical nine-hole course, the layout is like a full-size course shrunken down to a par 3 with several challenging elements that will test your short-game skills. The terrain is relatively flat, making it an easy golf course to walk, and it is relatively protected from the winds. The sand traps are sparse but strategically placed, and water hazards come into play occasionally as well. Highlands Golf Course is an ideal layout for beginners to get some short-game practice, but for more advanced players it's an excellent option for a quick round that is more challenging than your average nine-hole layout.

Fun course to play
I will definitely be playing this course often. This was my first visit. The staff was friendly as were the golfers on the course. A well kept walking course and easy to follow.
Par 3
I looked around golf now and the course website and I couldn't find anything saying that this was a par 3 course. The course is surrounded by houses and back yards. People were doing lawn work and staring as you walked to the green in frustration because you were golfing in their back yard. I would not recommend this course to anyone
Kids love it !!
Great place for little legs to walk and have fun. If your trying to work on your approach shots . This is the spot on a slow day .. You can really hone in your skills ...
Great short game practice
Overall I had fun, and this is a good short game practice facility. Play early or mid-day because of the slow pace of play.
wet and fun
I played at Highlands GC on Saturday. I decided to go thru golfnow.com and thought I was getting a good deal. Turns out with the fees for holding a tee time, it ended up being a couple dollars cheaper. So, not really a deal at all. That was my biggest disappointment. The course is short but fun and good practice for iron work.
Extremely well maintained!
A fun little Par 3... Played in about an hour. Close to my home and a good course to sharpen up my iron game! the staff is very friendly and helpful. I like playing this course...
Short, enjoyable, and inexpensive!
I played this course because I didn't have 4 hours to play an 18. It ended up being 12.50$ for 9 and 7$ more for the back 9. It ended up being challenging although I believe it was a par 29. Easy walking, and fun course.
