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.

Nice course without too many houses

We enjoyed our round at Highlands Reserve. Having place 5 other courses in the vicinity, I would say that it is quite expensive considering there is no gps in the kart. It was fun though.

Great for the average golfer

We loved playing this course because it is more suited for what I call the average golfer. You still have to hit your shots but you aren’t going to lose golf balls here, in comparison to other courses we’ve played over the last few years in Orlando. The greens were very fast, which was a challenge but this is a course I could play again the next time we are here!

Staff very helpful

Can’t fault the course or the staff.

Had some issues in respect of tee time, with sunset and the club house closing but the staff very helpful, very accommodating which made my experience first class.

I certainly enjoyed this course

Northern Golf in Florida!

Mike (New York) and I (Michigan) joined a couple that were originally from Indiana. The 4-some meshed well together! Nice course layout with lots of gentle hills. Greens rolled well and were neither too fast or too slow and were consistent for all 18 holes. "Northern Golf" in the title means it was cold! Gold tees measured out to about 5600 yards and with the cold weather, that's about any of us were prepared to handle. Nice course, with some nice people!

Still Doing Good!

This course was revitalized a little over a year ago and was brought back in great conditions, and it still remains that way today. The greens are great, the fairways are in good shape, and the layout has always been a very cool layout with a lot of elevation changes. I’ll definitely keep coming back.
