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
Very nice course
Nice course, not many homes on the course maybe 3 holes, must of the time you can't see the other holes. Greens were super fast. Layout was a nice mix of holes, would stop and play this again .
Best course in the Sebring area
This is my favorite course in the area. It is always in good condition, and the greens are moderately fast. There is a nice variety of hole layouts. The white tees at 6122 yards provide a playable challenge for a mid-teens handicapper.
Good layout. Greens are a little rugged.
Helpful and friendly staff. Nice course layout. Interesting and varied golf holes. Greens were bumpy and several were in poor shape. Tees were in good shape. Most fairways were also in good shape. Bunker sand was inconsistent. Pace of play was a little slow.
course was very challenging
great layout ,extremely challenging a good mix of difficult and easy holes. Pace of play was a bit slow, but to be expected at this time of the year. A real jewel in the middle of nowhere.
A pleasure to play.
A very scenic course & one of the nicest courses in the area.
best i have been to in florida
looks busy before tee off, Then seems that your just with your group after first hole.Holes are not overlapping at all.Fairways and tee boxes are very good,Greens are big & somewhat fast,Just realized theres a lot of sand as i was in it all day.Been there 3 times paid 23 dollars through golf now this time while others paid 36.00 at desk..It would be worth the regular price. Its 35 min from me but hope to play again
Best course in Highlands area
Of all the courses in our area of Sebring/Avon Park, this is the best course to play. Great greens and challenging layout, without being impossible.
Nice course - Apparently South is better
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. They started us on the back nine and when we made the turn, there was another 4some in our way. The round was already slow, but certainly got slower at that point. Still, an enjoyable course. Greens were in great shape!
Very picturesque, beautifully laid out course
We were paired up with another couple and had a great round playing off 4 sets of tees! Plenty of water to start and finish, but hard not to be distracted by the sheer beauty of the landscape. It seemed that we had the course to ourselves, so well laid out were the holes. Greens were challenging but true. Husband and I finished with birdies to halve our "match" so loved our round. Will HAVE to play it again sometime.
Fun course
The course was fun to play. it had a little bit of everything for all levels of golfers. The greens were kept in great condition. It was worth the 40 minute drive.
