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.

Just good golf
This is a very wide open course built through a neighborhood of nice houses. Lots of open space. Only water hazard is on hole one. Some good sand traps but nothing too technical. Overall great course.
Could of been great …
Booked an early tee time. No instructions on course lay out. No map on score card. Guessing it was members role up the same day. Group of 4 seniors behind playing off front tees when we were playing off black made for an uncomfortable pace when trying to enjoy and figure out which was to go.
Course was interesting however greens needed cutting
Nice course at your own pace
Not my first or last time to play Highlands reserve, nestled away from the hustle and bustle is a well groomed and maintained course, with friendly staff and good amenities. Will play again....soon
Highland Reserve Hidden Gem
The course played very well fairways and greens in great shape. Pace of play was awesome highly recommend.
Weeds
Lots of bare spots and weeds throughout the fairways. The greens were very slow and need cutting. Go somewhere else and play. I was embarrassed to bring guest here.
Great course
Been playing this course for years. One of the best layout of area courses. The experienced starter, Ed, knows how to keep play moving. Desk staff is always friendly and quick.
Good back up
Rained out at another course in the morning but was able to get 3 consecutive tee timrs in the afternoon for our group of 12.
Highlands Reserve
Highlands Reserve is a great golf course in good condition. All staff except for one male member were really helpful. Due to a weather delay I asked if my tee time could be changed and when it was noted I was on a hot deal he basically didn’t want to help.
Highlands Reserve
Friendly team, and helpful. Marshalls present, but no issues with pace of play however. Will be back when next in Florida!
Rained out after 11 holes
Great course, and I was having one of my best rounds until the thunderstorms rolled in and sent us home. The course is in great shape. The greens were smooth, although a bit slow. Fairways and traps were good. Rough was poor - a lot of bare sandy areas (so don't go there). This course drains really well, so it's a good place to play when other courses are wet and soggy.
Highland Reserve
Course was in excellent shape, greens were ideal. Will definitely return
Hot day to play at HR
Was hot but playable. Good time with Friends on a nicely maintained golf course.
Slooooooow Greens
Overall a nice trek. Course looked great. Only gripe is speed up the greens! They were atrociously slow. But in their defense, they were equally slow throughout. That aside lot of fun playing!
A goto course
I play every year when in the Orlando area. Fun layout.
Some rough spots on course that water can fix. Greens are a lottle slow.
