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.

Great course

Even though it had rained the day before causing fairways to be soggy, the course was in good condition that still played well and greens were in amazing condition. Pace was great even with cart path only. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend playing here.

Challenging

In town for Thanksgiving. Pretty epic for an affordable, public course in this area. Not a great track for beginners or low power swingers but very serene if you just want a pleasant atmosphere (No traffic nearby and the few houses you do see are safe from errant drives) Substantial elevation changes on every hole so a good score here requires power and accuracy. For late November, fairways were immaculate and undulating greens were super fast and flawless. No mold, bald spots or ball marks in sight. Had a discounted rate from Golfnow which took the sting out of my high score. Will definitely be back now that I know the layout

Always in Playing Condition

The course is always in good playing condition, greens were fast and true, layout has some risk reward holes and bunkering is peppered around the greens for defense.

BEST GREENS IN CENTRAL VA

The Highlands surprised me. This course was a lot of fun to play. The greens here are absolutely fantastic. There was not a single divot mark on any of the greens and this course manages them well unlike other courses I’ve played in the area.
