Greens in bad shape

Played here in the Spring and it was awesome. Made an early tee time due to the heat. Several. if not most of the greens had repairs to more than half of each green. Patches of repairs all over each green. The areas that were repaired will need repair soon. Play was slow on the front nine being - 3rd off for the day was disappointing. It was 93 degrees at 10AM and there was ZERO water or ice on the back nine. We were told they’re renovating the fairways with new Zoysia seed in the Fall and repairing the greens. Hope they get it back to where it was in April. Might come back. Shame, nice layout.

Great course

Great course, some greens a little maintenance but they left a message saying that would be happening soon. Some holes are tricky but fun. Make sure you bring some ice with you and a cooler the carts don’t come with them. Other than that great course.

Great layout, but they're losing some greens

Fun, interesting, and appealing layout with some blind shots and deceptive hazards. They're on the verge of losing several greens to disease, and are trying to recover, but they have a battle on their hands. I look forward to going back once the greens have been fixed.

Disappointed

From miss-marked tee boxes to awful conditions on the greens this course was a major disappointment. It was hard to differentiate between the roof and the fairways. The ground was hard and uneven tee boxes made play even more difficult. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. A waste of money and time.

Not this year

Played here in prior years and really love the course. This is the first time played here in 2025, shocked to see how poor the conditions are. Fairway grass are spotted, super dry 2 days after weekly rains. Quite bit of green grass died and being repaired. Got to wonder how the course is maintained or not at all. Avoid this year and hope it will be back next year

Can appreciate having issues maintaining course but should make customers aware and not charge ridiculous prices for sub par conditions

Difficult but fun

This course was very challenging in my opinion. Seems like the front 9 are all up hill. The greens are not in the best shape, need repairs. If you use a golf app like hole 19, the first hole is hole 10 on the app.

Nice track, needs a lot of care

Played this course for the first time and was disappointed. The course appears to be undergoing some maintenance. Nice track, very friendly staff and members but I won’t be back anytime soon due to course conditions.

Course layout is pretty nice. Tee boxes were a bit rough and some of the green looked like they had struggled land have been sprayed green to avoid huge dead spots it seems. In good condition it would be very solid

Greens are spectacular!!

If you’ve played Independence, CCV, or Willow Oaks, and liked the roll of the greens, you’ll love The GC at The Highlands, at a fraction of the cost. The speed (11-12 on Stimpmeter) is one facet. Combined with wicked undulations, and nuances that grow increasingly frustrating depending on how sadistic the superintendent is feeling each morning, the greens here rival the top courses in the area, and make it the #1 option for those looking to spend < $100 for a quality course experience.

I like to walk, using my Clicgear cart, and the only negative is this course is not walker-friendly, as the distance between holes is long, and the terrain is hilly.

Everyone in the proshop, snack bar area, maintenance, and cart shed are always welcoming and accommodating.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend The Highlands to anyone in the area.
