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.

Course is in great shape with slow greens

Course is in great shape considering all the rain we have been getting. The greens are shaggy and slow as crap. But overall, the course was nice. Staff is always super friendly.

Walk well deserved

Highland Reserve is a nice and challenging course. They were conducting Maintenace around the greens on several holes. That made you concentrate and hit the middle of the greens. Overall nice course we will definitely be back.

Greens are in Great shape but a little slow !

This is a fun course and not a typical flat Florida course.

Greens are true but a different type of grass . They take the sun and heat . They just need to fix around the greens that are rough!

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.
