1st day open in 2019. Showing good early conditions
I love this course and I have never had a bad experience here outside of that induced upon myself by poor play or poor decision making.
This continued today. For mid March, the course is looking good and playing well. I can only imagine this will improve to phenomenal in the weeks to come. They protected the course with cart path only rules and we were still able to keep pace.
Though almost all grass was still brown, the fairways, greens and rough were surprisingly consistent and playable.
Signs of improvements in the works around the course and overall, we could not have asked for better conditions for our first round of 2019. I look forward to returning for many more!
I should add that we sat down for a drink and a bowl of chicken chili in the clubhouse afterward . It was delicious and a great way to wrap up a great round. Grumpy Goat is a great place to hang with a great view of the course and the staff is always friendly.
Great track!
Our weekly group got out and played Highland and were not disappointed as it was a well maintained track with great amenities. We will be putting it in our rotation for next season...
One of Chicago’s best
Play here 6-7 times a year since it opened
Always in great shape and a great test
Greens rolled true at a good pace
Fairways above average for this time of year
Definitely a top ten public course in our area
Must play
Wow - Thank you for the five star review Paul! We are happy to have exceeded your expectations. We love hearing from you and are glad you had a great experience at #TheHighlandsofElgin. We look forward to having you back again soon! Until then, take care!
Great Experience
This course is a joy to play. The conditions are excellent, the staff is VERY friendly, and the pace was outstanding (4:00}. I highly recommend this venue.
Course was challenging but fair.
First time at this course and was pleasantly surprised as to how well maintained it was. Overall a great course for anyone. Will definitely go back.
Good not great
This is a good course. Some really nice holes with great vistas and some very average holes. The course was in average condition for a public track in late July. Lots of divots and the greens were pretty marked up with many units repaired ball marks. I thought the course was over-watered. It hasn't rained in at least a week and even at 4 o'clock in the afternoon my ball marks and divots were quite large. All in all it is was an enjoyable experience but I wouldn't put it on my short list of courses you can play in Chicago.
Horribly slow
5 and half hour round. Greens I terrible condition.
Thank you Highlands
First time out this year. Course is beautiful, greens best in the area
Golf Experience

Highlands of Elgin Review
The course is great! Have to play with swirling winds so it can be tricky at times. Proper club selection and accuracy are a must!
