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.

Crabgrass Collars

Overall course was fantastic. Only bad part was crabgrass in all the collars and approaches. Get some bad lies and you can't put thru that.

Course needs a little work

Greens were very nice. A little work around the greens needed. Many weeds and not enough grass on fringe. Fairways were good.

ONLY 2 minor complaints. 1.greens could be slightly faster to match how they look! 2. somehow get rid of the crabgrass on the collars.these 2 things it would be nearly perfect.

Great Value

Great value for the conditions right now. The course is pretty playable and overall an incredible value for the $49 summer rate. Only thing I can critique is that the greens were very stiff, felt crunchy to walk on, but they all rolled true despite being on the slow side.
