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.

One of the best

Except for the aerated greens, which we knew about, it was perfect as always

Little Gem

Tried to book last week but couldn't make it. Booked today knowing the greens had just been dressed yesterday so can't comment on the greens as it would be so unfair. Tee boxes and fairways are in good condition. I was paired up with two local guys, what legends they were and I had so much fun plus their knowledge helped me drive a couple of par 4 greens. Some holes have wide open fairways but the next would be a tight tree lined drive. No water on this track with the exception of the first Tee box.

Best course for the price

We used the Golf Now app to book the National course without knowing anything about the facility. The staff was friendly and prompt with service. The practice facility was great with a fresh supply of range balls. The practice green was large and ran true to the course greens. Don't bother spending $50 to play anywhere else when you can play this top notch course for the same price in the afternoon. 5 stars

Most Improved But not There Yet

I could see the improvements but and thats a BIG BUT Areas around the greens need a lot of special attemtion as it is close to impossible to accurate do pitch or bumb and run shots. I realize we are going through a very dry winter in Florida but the grass on the greens weas to long making putting a chore and luck rather than skill. Having said all that I will most likely go back in a years time and see if there more improvements as I find the course pleasant to play

Greens have turf that makes reading greens hard. A little slow.

Excellent condition and fun

This course requires placement off the tees and precision on your approaches. Lots of elevation changes that need your attention but good shots are rewarded.
