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.

Poor organisation

We booked with GolfNow for 10.20 , when arriving at course had to get own cart and was told in pro shop now 10.28 with no apology or explanation given. This used to be one of our favourite courses we always return to. Not so sure again!

Slow greens

The greens are extremely slOK. Very little water hazards. Draught has really made fairways burnt. For the reduced rate, it was ok.

Foursome

Played a scramble and had a 63 which isn't to shabby. We did play loose meaning if 4 putts to hole were relatively the same line and within 2 inches for bird we took it due to sand and aeration. Great time had by all. Will be back. Keep up the great work.
