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.

Enjoyed the round

Course was in good shape compared to other courses in the local area. Fairways and tee boxes had plenty of green grass and they were in good shape. The speed of the greens was good and the ball rolled well. I will play here again.

Good pace of play

Played in 3 1/2 hours.

Course conditions are in the early stages of recovering from January weather issues.

Good layout. Golf in this area has increased in price over the past few years. Some of the less expensive courses are not worth the effort to play and some of the better courses are way overpriced.. Pick your poison.

It was a fun golf course to start my Florida trip on. Wide fairways made for a fun day and the greens were running nice.

Older course and clubhouse

We were paired with some guys who were a blast to play with. The staff weren't very helpful....I had to keep asking where things were and they acted like we should know. The fairway grass was pretty tight. Actually easier to hit out of the rough. The course offered some interesting challenges...a definate need to have course knowledge. The biggest challenge were the greens. Good luck figuring out the speed and breaks. Didn't hold well, so a great shot would end up off the back. The best was the pace of play....loved it!

Wide Open and Fun to Play

Fairly easy course with no surprises. Wide fairways where sand sometimes comes into play, but plenty of room to avoid it. No water on any holes! Greens and fairways in good condition. At $99 it's a bit overpriced, but we found a coupon in a local magazine and got on for $79, which was more palatable.

Great place to play and enjoy golf.

This course is in great condition and really gives you a chance. The starter gives a course pace device that sits on the screen of the buggy and, when it is green you are on time, if it goes red you are behind the pace. This really helps to keep the game flowing, played here a few times and never had a problem with slow play. The staff are really friendly. Highlands Reserve is a firm favourite, highly recommended.

Great course for the price

We enjoyed it because it was a course suited for the average player, Pretty wide open, difficult to lose any balls. Pace of play was good. This is a course we would play again next time in the

Orlando area.
