Highlands Reserve Golf Club
About
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.

Poor Layout
Greens very good , fairways good but the layout is boring and they try to make the course challenging by putting in many sand traps
Much improved
We took this course off the rota but with the new greens and better check conditions, it was very enjoyable again. Recommended to some friends who are coming down as a nice course to kick off their trip.
Have played the course many times. The nines were reversed since I had played it last. A litte dry, but no rain for a while will do that. Will play again when back in town. Better price that most other comparible courses in the area.
Seeding
The only thing golfing there this time of year was that they were seeding which made for a lot of walking.
Not bad, not good
Greens were OK. Fariways not great. Tee boxes not good either.
Reasonable for the money
Nice layout but a few back and forth holes. The greens were in good shape but didn’t seem to be cut the same. Some were fast, others slow. Hard to predict making putting a game of luck. Overall the course was in good shape considering the shortage of rain lately. The clubhouse and bar closed at 4:00 , disappointing since I didn’t start until 2:00. Guess dinner time or bedtime comes early there. Pace of play good, under 3 hours. Probably a result of a 2:00 start though.
Poor customer service.
Booked late on a Friday night for an early tee time on Saturday.
Had an emergency come up and tried to cancel but it was within 24 hours of my tee time.
Was unable to cancel online so they charged my card the full rate for 3 people.
I called to speak with someone concerning the charge and was told the person who could reverse the charge was on vacation and I would have to wait 3 days.
I called back 3 days later and the manager got on the phone determined to not listen to anything I had to say. From the beginning of the call he had a disposition to argue and defend their policy. He was not interested at all with trying to service the customer or even hear any reasoning.
This use to be one of my favorite courses and I’ve never experienced anything like this from this course or any other course.
For the money it was a very good course to play. The course was in excellent condition and the staff was very friendly. It would have been better had there been a combination tee we could have played. Being a 19 handicap 4500 hundred yards from the jade tees was a bit short and 5700 yards from the gold tees was way too long.
4 hours 45 minutes was painful!
The pace of play,was unbelievably glacial. We did see the Ranger once and he attempted to explain why it was so slow. When we pointed out to him that we play almost every day around the area and don’t take this long, he had no answer. In addition, one of our members was sick and unable to make the teetime but they charged us full price even though we were using a coupon for $39 for the rounds. We showed the coupon to them and used it for our other members. However, they notified Golf Now and charged us full price for the person that didn’t show up when they only would’ve received $39 if he showed up. There’s no way to know you’re going to be sick ahead of time so penalizing for full price for no-shows due to sickness seems like a low rent move for any golf course.
