North Course at Highlands Ridge
Rating Snapshot
About
Highlands Ridge offers 36 holes of championship golf, which form the centerpiece of the upscale residential community. It's one central Florida's most popular golf destinations. The courses, the North and the South, share the same scenic landscape but they provide very different rounds. The North Course is known for its outstanding conditions. The designer, Dave Harman, modeled the course after Kauri Cliffs in New Zealand, which was recognized as the Best New International Course in 2011 by Golf Digest. The layout is not as challenging as the South Course, making it more appealing for beginners. Water hazards come into play on a few holes and there are some strategically placed bunkers to contend with. There is also rough along the fairways and greensides that can be particularly punishing.

Nice
Course looked and played nice pace of play was about 3 and a half hours. Greens were in great condition so a 4.5 stars. If not for the drive of hour and half would play there more regularly.
Highlands North
Had a bit of trouble with my reservation and tee time but Golfnow got it straightened out and i had a very nice round on a very windy day. Golf course has a great layout and is very nicely maintained, with really nice turf all the way through. Fast firm undulating greens were definetly a challenge. Highly recommend a round here, probably Highlands county best course....
staff issues
Extremely angry and unprofessional pro shop man. With two holes left he drives up to me enraged and yelling ... you would’ve thought I was driving my cart around in circles on the putting surface!!! “never come back here!” I’m still not even sure what’s going on. He tells me I’ve been out playing for six hours. NOT TRUE! Not sure his name but a heavy guy wearing a fake gold Rolex. Upon completion of the 18th hole I search for my receipt to prove that I had finished in under four hours. I approached him and tried to show him the receipt but he just kept yelling at me. This turned such a pleasurable experience into misery! If I were a member / homeowner I’d be concerned about management.
I guess the pro shop guy wins though. I won’t be back or recommend this course to anyone!
