Highlands at Dove Mountain

As always the greens are hard to read--but putt very true. The rest of the course was in great condition and we played at a nice pace

The course was in great shape and for the most part, the staff was very cordial. However, we were approached by the course ranger who indicated that we were playing too slow. Said he received calls from some of the players. Not true. In fact, we were right on time with the management schedule when he approached us. In fact, we finished 10 minutes early. There is a lot more to the story than I can explain here. Long story short, there was a terrible injustice that happened to us.

The only issue was the pace of play. We were a foursome and the marshal wanted us to keep pace with the three some in front. We played the course in 4 hours and they recommended a pace of play at 4 1/4 hours. It is almost impossible for a foursome to keep pace with a threesome and still enjoy the round

The Highlands is in excellent shape with greens that run quick in one direction and slow when putting toward Dove Mountain. We will be back soon.

The course was in very good condition. Fairways were green, no brown patches. Greens were fast and true. Love the course.

Course in great shape, plays very well. Stay friendly. Only recommendation would be to get the golf cart girl around more than once per round.

Interesting layout, not your typical desert course, some narrow fairways

This is a desert course which can be challenging and frustrating when not in the fairway off your tee shot. The course was in transition from winter rye and the summer bermuda coming up but it was still in very good shape. The greens were excellent but are difficult to read, into the grain, down grain, breaks you cant see all play a part , previous play would definitely help. Would I play this course again, Yes I would.

I haven't seen any tee times available for " The Highlands " on Golf Now for months, then finally see some available for $36. Was really worried something was wrong with the course at that price point, but rest assure the course is in great shape for this time of year.

Not just for the value this time of year, but the amazing layout and excellent all around shape make this course a must play experience in the Tucson area.

Beware, outsiders need to know that there are 2 shot gun starts per day in the winter months--and there won't be advanced notice. Plus, in January there will be frost delays on most days, so both morning and afternoon times will be delayed.

This course is a driving course. Hit it straight and you will score well. Lots of Desert close to the course. Views are great, and the walk in the park factor was good.

1st time I had played this course. It had a good layout with some challenging blind shots. Most of the par 4s played the same distance.

Start to finish, a first-class and welcoming experience. Tee box set up accommodates all levels of golfers; fairways are forgiving but your short game will be challenged. Greens are immaculate but tough; the grain of the grass is in play. Overall, the course is interesting, with variety in the hole layouts and elevations. It's downright fun.

While were were unaware of the shotgun start format in play at our 12:30 tee time, we enjoyed our round. The tee boxes were cut perfectly and were in great shape. We were paired with two members who were very cordial and fun partners for the day. I hope that all members treat "outsiders" as well as we were treated.
The fairways were all cut wonderfully. While we had to wait for the group in front of us at times, it was never a hindrance to our rhythm.

There is no cart service and the snack bar closes early in afternoon. If you hit the turn early you have to stock up or be out of luck. However, the staff made players aware of the snack bar/cart issue at checkin so that players could prepare.

My only wish is that the booking process made players aware of the shotgun start but that is a minor issue.

I hope to play here again soon.

Quick pace of play...superb conditions! Staff was VERY accomodating in fitting us in as we were running late. A great day of golf!

Played from the Championship tees, this course was tough. I'll move up next time. Summer greens were fast and range was in good shape. I have played in Winter and over seeded greens were fairly slow which could explain various reviews here. I also noticed a reviewer panned range for having mats but I think they are only user for a couple weeks after overseeding.

changing tee off spots makes the course feel like a new course every time...rolling fairways, bunkers, blind shots, all keep you on your toes...

tees for shot gun play unreliable

greens from fairway hard to see

green conditions bumpy and inconsistent

Great course for the $. Pace of play is always quick because most of the groups are members who know the course/layout and don't hesitate to hit shots. Greens are a little slow but in great shape. The only downer is there is no cart service, they should reconsider Weekend cart service only.
