Rating 74.7

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 - 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.
