Course Highlights
Exceptionally friendly staff and a well-designed layout make this Orlando course a consistent favorite among returning players. The course drains remarkably well in summer, delivering reliable conditions and strong value throughout the year.

About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6702 yards
Slope 120
Rating 71.6

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.

Very average

It's ok if you're looking for a less expensive place to play.

Greens were consistent but slow. No water which detracts from the challenge.

Conditions Great for a Long Time!

The conditions at the course have been great for a long time now. For the past year or so the greens have been perfect, fairways in great shape and rough is maintained. Kudos to whatever company manages the course! They’ve done an amazing job bringing the course back from what it was a couple years ago. The layout of this course is always fun with the various elevation changes and wide open fairways. This is my go to course for sure.

FUN COURSE

As usual, staff and starter were nice and very helpful. Fairways, greens, and tees in good shape. Greens a little slow but still in good shape. Pace of play was good and is one of the few courses the rangers try and do something when a group is holding up play. Course is always fun with a nice mixture of moderate and easy holes.
