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.

You booked two spots on GolfNow, not a deed to Augusta National. Book 4 next time, just don't hold up my foursome.

Go for it

Excellent course, not much water and just enough sand for my level of play. I shot 85 for my first round in a year after tearing my mcl

Highland Reserve

One of my go to courses. Great layout. Easily accessible from theme park areas. Only issue is the collars of the greens. They can be either very weedy or in poor condition or both resulting in shots that die at the fringe or are difficult to put or chip.

Moved Tee time

Have played this course many times. Myself and a buddy booked a tee time online. When we arrived, our tee time had been moved forward a slot putting us with another twosome, and a threesome was in our spot. You can move me up a tee time as I am always early, I did not appreciate being pushed back.

Always a pleasant round of golf at HR

This course is one of the few in Orlando that drains well and is never soggy in the summer. Plus, the course was in excellent condition. The greens were a bit slow, but smooth. Traps groomed, fairways good. The rough is thin - expect bad lies there with sandy spots. An excellent course for a fun round of golf.

Hidden Gem close to Disney!

This is my third time playing it in the last 7 years. I’ve enjoyed it every time! This time even more so, we played Magnolia at Disney the day before, and this blew it out of the water on all accounts. It’s fun to play, playing the tips will definitely ramp up the difficulty. The greens were in impeccable shape and rolling nice and quick. Everyone in the pro shop was so polite as well, will definitely play this when back in town again!

HR is always a good time

Course is in really good shape, with the exception of a couple holes that have a little bit of washout around the green. The greens are in great shape as is the rest of the course tee to green. Staff is always friendly as well.

No cold water to be had

The course lay out is OK and the conditions are fine. The issue is that the don’t have coolers on the carts so whatever you buy gets warm immediately. Also the water in the coolers on the course had no ice. This is unacceptable in 90 plus weather. The other courses that we played had cart coolers and cold water throughout the course. We will not be coming back.
