The Golf Club at The Highlands

Very fun track, best greens I’ve played in the area….tee boxes are atrocious though. I’d say a good 45% of them are uneven and just sand and dirt.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Greens were the feature of the course. Best conditioned greens I’ve seen since Pinehurst! Excellent layout and fun to play. Bunkers were in great condition and fairways were greening up nicely from the winter dormancy. Only knock would be on the tee boxes…they could use some attention.

Best value I’ve found!

Let's not kid ourselves of what this winter is so far in Chesterfield County. Mild and a little wet. Sometimes, borderline hot. All Bermuda grass is dormant. The course isn't growing. So the rough is low everywhere, very thin in spots and bare in others. You may find drives in the fairway unrewarding because of the soft thin lie where chunking or skulling is a real possibility. Nothing can be done about this now. Ball can rest on bare lies in the rough. But the real fun is on the greens. Above the hole is treacherous and defensive. It has become a local knowledge course because middle of the green isn't good anymore because of there's alot lot movement. The putting surface is hard. No ball marks. If you find this type of green upsetting, try somewhere else. I like the challenge.

Course conditions earned an average only because of the dormant Bermuda but it's Playable under difficult scoring expectations.

I haven't played here since the greens were redone. This place can compete with any course in the area. The slope, speed and consistency was very surprising on a cold winter day. Even chip shots grab your attention because of the need to stay below the hole. It was a lot of fun. I highly recommend playing the Highlands.

What a great day of golf! Not only were the course conditions excellent, the staff and especially Troy made the experience that much better. I wish I had a template for this review because it would always say the same thing.....go there! You won't find as nice a course in the area without having to pay around $100. Go and tell em Phil sent ya!

It has been several years since I played this course but it will not be long before we play it again. The greens were in amazing shape, the tee boxes beautiful, the fairways almost pristine. The course was in amazing shape. The new layout (new ownership since I last played) has clearly taken good care to make this course great to play.

For a Saturday morning in October we were surprised that there were so few People playing. We had no one in front or behind for the first 7 holes. We did come up on the twos one un front of us who was waiting on the 3-some ahead of them. Even with the slight delay as we made closed the front and made the turn, we still finished 18 holes in just over 4 hours. (Which seems to be a foreign concept in Richmond lately)

One MINOR area for improvement- the signage to find the pro shop was a bit frustrating…..

Greens are the best in the area and course was in great shape!!!!!

Have no complaints what so ever, from the time I arrived to upon leaving./ Course is in great shape and challenging ,Greens were fast & true. Chip & putt will be tested if you never played here.

The Highlands is a great course and well worth playing but has lost some playability since the greens were redone. They are smooth, fast, rarely show ball marks and roll well but they are hard to hold and with the fairway grass so long and thicker rough even wedges from the fairway take yards to stop. A challenge is great but it really takes away from the course when shots become too difficult. The course was CPO though it did not seem necessary. Could have been 90 deg and avoid wet areas. I still don’t understand why some courses don’t allow golfers to go 90 deg in rough only. It would make it easier on the golfers and speed up the pace. There were some issues with green speed inconsistency but they were minor. I hope the Highlands can get the greens just a little softer and playable without sacrificing them to ballmarks that plague so many other courses. I was a bit disappointed at the lack of water on the course and was told “ we don’t do that anymore.” Great course and very nice bar/restaurant to enjoy after round refreshments.
