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.

Slow slow slow

5 players on a foursome is not under golf standards!

It slows the pace and it is not acceptable!

Pace of play slow

Started 15 minutes late. Got worse from there. They need to spread out the teetimes. Seems like a common issue talking with other players.

Good shape

The greens are in good shape. Just a little slow for my liking but not complaining . Tee boxes and fairways in good shape . Sand in buckets was good to hit out of . For a Florida course it had a couple elevated tee boxes.

Decent course.

Course was decent. While I understand destination golf can be costly, this course should be nowhere near $100+ for round. This is a $50 course at best. Extremely dry conditions. Greens were some of the slowest I’ve seen. More water and rolling of greens could make this club a much better club for the price.

Overpriced for condition and layout

We played the course on Saturday morning and pace of play was excelent. The course is average at the most and for 99 dollars plus tax is overpriced. You can find better value in 20 miles range.

Solid, but…

It’s a solid course but it’s too bad that golf as a whole has gone stupid with pricing. This is a value at $60–thats $15-$20 more than I had to pay pre-pandemic. Even with inflation, not even close to a $100 course. Greens good, pretty grainy. Fairways, are decent but not thick. Tee boxes???.. don’t start me on that. I’m from the north and we just don’t see with the regularity I do down here the amount of uneven, mainly dirt boxes. People nice, course run efficiently. In today”s market, a $69 course plus the taxes. $100+????? Ah, pass, thank-you.

Repeat Play

I usually play this course when in the Orlando area. Course is in decent shape and not a lot of trouble areas but still need to hit it straight.

Fun course but..

I'll keep this simple. This is a great course at $60 winter rates. The problem is that their rate is now $99, and they have priced many golfers out of the opportunity to play it.

I suppose they are going after tourists, but I won't be back since there are similar courses at better fees.
