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.

Hidden Gem
I stop often in the Sebring area to play golf when I am traveling to Tampa. Normally I play one of the two Sun and Lake courses, which are OK layouts. Just on a hunch I did a Hot Deal at this course to see if it was any good. I was pleasantly shocked. It is my new “go to” course in this area. Great layout and the condition of the course is very good for a public course. Play was your normal four hour round. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to play a course in the Sebring area.
Great layout
Course was a pleasant surprise! Staff was exceptionally friendly from pro shop to bar. The course was fun and offered a different look than the typical Florida course. We will definitely be back!
Sugar Festival golf
Come down in March for Clewiston Sugar Festival to visit family & friends. Sister lives in Lake Placid so always bring clubs to play. Had a decent Golf Now time and value for this course this time so I decided to to play here. I like the layout and the wider fairways help staying in play. Greens were ok but playing early with fog they were a little slower than expected. I like tightly mown tee boxes so the tee boxes were a little long for me. Staff was very friendly and played fast since I went out early.
HIGHLAND RIDGE NORTH
This course is always in good shape very rarely is their slow play and the people there are fantastic. Always look forward to playing there again.
Course in great shape.
Love the over seeding they did with the rye grass. Fairways are green and lush compared to other courses in the area.
Great Day at Highlands Ridge, Gets Better every trip!
Went to Highlands Ridge for the third time this year and it gets better and better. We came over from Tampa. Talked to the GM John in the shop and he said they finally got rain this weekend. Fairways are as good as you will find in this market and the Tiff Eagle Greens are very quick. This is the only course over seeded with rye grass in this market. It so nice to play on Green Grass! The owners and management are really making an effort to make this place Great Again!.
I highly recommend Highlands Ridge. The staff is awesome.
Not the same Highlands Ridge!
This course used to be the premiere course of Highlands County, but it is not anymore! The course is very dry, some of the tees and fairways are over seeded with Rye grass but most are not. The greens are hard with many bare spots, and ate not receptive to approach shots. It is obvious that the current owners are sucking anything they can out of the course and are trying to maximize profits while attempting to sell the courses.
Highlands North
My first time playing this course and I was very happy with what I experienced. Course has mogul style fairways which are in very good condition. I will definitely come back a play again. Despite the lack of rain in Florida this time of year it's still green and lush in the areas that need to be. Great value for quality golf course. Highly recommend playing this place!
