Mike Dasher's Highlands Reserve (opened 1998) is suggestive and irresistible. The course sits on the edge of a long sand shelf called the Green Swamp Ridge near the town of Davenport, spanning 120 feet from top to bottom. Dasher's holes fairly dance around it, two-stepping from a high point at the first green all the way to the low basin of the 13th fairway.

You will find pine tree-lined fairways reminiscent of the Carolinas, open spacious fairways likened to the great Scottish courses, and a bit of old Florida with citrus trees along the countryside.

Just OK, nothing special

Average course, definitely not worth the $100 plus they charge. Much better options in the Orlando area, even if you have to pay a little bit more.

The court’s is doing well. The lack of beverage carts was suppressing. They only showed up on holes 8and 10. And no water was available on the course. The back nine doesn’t have access to the restroom.

Toto your not in Orlando

From the elevated tees and side hill and down hill lies, you quickly realize the terrain is much different from anything else in the Orlando area. Fun course and would definitely play again.

Solid Course

The course was in very good shape from tee to green. This is great course to play if you haven't played in a while because for the most part it's open and has a little movement to it. A good mix of easy to moderately difficult holes. HR is not overcharging, they are asking for and receiving what courses in central florida get these days, but considering what the course offers and the fact one can play similar courses for $20-$25 dollars less doesn't make a very good value.

An enjoyable round

A very pleasurable round. Friendly pro shop and starters, course in fine shape, and despite a slow start we finished in just over 4 hours with a 11am start.

Snowbird golfer

Good course for the price.

Golf prices around Orlando are high.

Top courses are over $200.

I look for courses that provide value for their conditions.

OK course but could be better.

Course conditions were good but layout simple. Staff not friendly and no washrooms after 5pm.

A little disapointed

We already played the course once last year.

This year we were a bit disappointed. Sometimes there is no grass on the fairway and there are bare patches where the ball lies on the bare ground.

Our golf cart kept stopping for no reason on the first 6 holes. Unfortunately, I couldn't reach anyone at the club office by phone, even though I called twice. A marshal then got me a new cart. I don't want to have problems like that when I pay a $220 green fee for 2 people.

There is still room for improvement on the course.

Average Florida course

Got tired of I-4 traffic and $150 rounds elsewhere and booked this course for 9 holes at Twilight. Ended up getting 13 holes in for $49. Honestly enjoyed being able to play an empty track for cheap where we weren't paired with others and never waited. Also appreciated not having a cart shut off for being 1 foot off the cart path. Bring your own rangefinder.

It's your basic no frills course. Rough was spotty and dormant, tee boxes could use a cut (but were flat). Greens had good seed, ran a little slow which is the expectation of a course of this difficulty at this price point. Bunkers had good sand. Fairways were cut short.

The course had some interesting holes (#9 dogleg par 5) drivable greens (#2), big green slopes (#1), with some challenging pin locations. I shot well here after getting beat up by the resort courses.

The course is great

We have played here a few years back and was not impressed. We are staying here so we decided to try it again. The greens were so plush and the course is in excellent shape for February. We were the last group out for the day. Enjoyed it very much.
