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.

Good fun course for a great deal, shorter, tighter and somewhat tricky

This is a great course for the list of folks that want a decent round w/o spending a ton of money. Holes are surprisingly tricky, greens look very narrow as you approach them, condition decent, good option to not spend a ton and get 18 w a cart in

Highlands reserve a good surprise

Having played HR in the past I wasn’t sure what to expect but was happy to see the conditions were the best I have ever seen it from tee to green. Pace was excellent. Starter let us (2some) out ahead of a few groups which made our round very relaxed and enjoyable playing in 3.5 hours. The rest lan to play several times while down here.

Decent Neighborhood Tract

I don’t think it’s worth the price unfortunately. It was a decent course but, not an $75 plus value. Again, it was fine but, I doubt I’ll go back unless there a deal to play it.

Good value

Course was exactly as expected. It's not a higher end course but layout is very playable for all level golfers and conditions were good. It was busy but pace of play was good! For the area the price was reasonable

Beautiful scenery and challenging greens

This course definitely exceeded my expectations. The course was extremely well kept compared to other courses in the area. It’s open and with lots of hills. The greens were smooth but very very challenging which added an extra layer of fun. For the ladies, playing from the greens makes the course very short. I’m a beginner player and was playing from the yellows wit no issues. I highly recommend it.

Pleasantly surprised

Hadn’t played here in a few years. Was pleasantly surprised on excellent condition. . David, who I was paired with had a freakin hole in one! My two Scottsmen from Ayr made the foursome enjoyable ( Stephan and George). I’ll certainly be playing again

Marshall

Marshall was pushy because we were a half hole behind on the 11th, maybe 2 or 3 minutes off the pace . The GPS turned green as soon as we got the the green on 11 and there was no one behind us for 2 holes.

Don't need to be micro managed by a pushy Marshall.

The marshall must have forgotten we were customers

Deceivingly Good Course

When you survey the layout of this course it appears to be somewhat straightforward. There no water on this course and the fairways are generous. Tee shots typically will not get you into trouble. Bunkers are strategically placed around greens and force you to be accurate. The greens are not fast but the breaks are very tricky. Two putts are a challenge on most holes. Overall a fair course that will test your skill level.
