The Highlands Course is probably the more stimulating of the two tracks at Wildcat GC, offering better views of the city, natural wetlands and grasses, and some intriguing flat sand bunkers. Case must have an affinity for the No. 7, because like the Lakes track, the 421-yard, par 4 hole 7 is the most difficult rated hole. Watch out for the par 5s on this one, three of which play at or above 570 yards from the tips.

Getting there : From downtown take Hwy. 288 south for 5 miles to Loop 610. Head west and find the Fannin exit, where you'll U-turn under 610 and drive east on the access road to Almeda Rd. Turn right on Almeda and the course is 3 miles further.

Good Track; Challenging

This was the first time on Highlands. Greens were ok...a bit on the slow side. Bunkers were good and the fairways were firm (with ample good grass). There were a few visually "weird" holes that were difficult when playing the course for the first time.

Overall, while my son recommended the Highlands course over the Lakes, we preferred the Lakes.

It seemed to me that there were more blind shots on Highlands with unknown outcomes, than there were on the Lakes course.

Horrible Pace of Play

5 1/2 hours to play. Totally ridiculous. Need marshals to get things moving.

Good Course; Poor Pace of Play

Overall an enjoyable experience. After several days of cold weather and way too much rain, the course was in pretty darn good shape. Greens were great - relatively fast (despite all the rain), and rolled true. Course was a bit too wet in a few places, but not so wet to require CPO. Everything except pace of play was good. Pace of play was horrible. It took over 5 hours for the round. They MUST get Marshalls on the course to ensure pace of play is reasonable (ideally at the 4:15 pace they profess).

Wildcat- Highlands was a great experience

First time playing Wildcat, weather wasn’t the greatest but everything else was top notch! Staff was welcoming and friendly, course was in great shape for this time of year. Played on a Monday morning and it seemed like we had the course to ourselves. Two groups allowed us to play through with easy. After the first round, we payed the inexpensive replay fee and played a second round. Already looking forward to my next visit to the challenging course

Beautiful view, a little bit challenge but fun.

Well kept fairway and greens. Had fun! Too much mosquitoes, got bitten badly. Will come back playing again with anti mosquitoes spray. The pace was a little bit slow as it was Sunday. Wished marshall would do the job.

Course is in great shape

Played early, not slow play, groups waived us through. Greens rolled smooth and fairly fast. Fairways were in good condition too. Great test of your game.
