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.

Reviews
Awesome
A really nice course for the price. Found it on Golf Now and tried it. Would definitely play it again.
hadn't played in a long time, forgot what a nice place this was. everything was great!
Fantastic layout
I drove 2 hours to play here based upon the reviews!
The course is in great shape, the greens rolled fast,
And the par three’s are LONG!!
I’d play here again anytime!!
Great course
The course is in great condition. Play moved along nicely and everyone was friendly and professional.
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!
Very Angry Staff member
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!!! First thing I hear is him yelling at me to “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. It would be interesting to see how he would conduct himself with someone who actually wronged him! .... This turned such a pleasurable experience into misery! This may be a course that is on the verge of going out of business??? It could be exceptional. Somewhat chewed up but so many beautiful holes. If I were a member / homeowner I’d be concerned! An individual like this is complete poison to what this beautiful course is attempting to achieve!
I guess the pro shop guy wins though. I won’t be back or recommend this course to anyone
Good challenging course
Course is a lot of fun without being overly difficult. You are rewarded if you hit the fairway and punished if you don’t. Greens rolled really well and will be back
haveing trouble with ring mold on all greens and not much grass in fairways
great place to play
nice layout and great shape a must play course for sure. great deal on the price and this place i found was exceptional.
just beautiful
I'll say it is the most scenic course in the area.
Rained out
We liked the course layout and the few holes we played were in excellent condition, but when the rain came and did not quit we had to give it up. We can't wait to get back and play all 18 holes of this course, it looks great.
Fun course Course to play
The course is in good shape. The greens are smooth and true. I'll play here again.
