Editor's Note: The course is temporarily closed.

The Highlands golf course is one of three courses owned and operated by Meadows Country Club. In addition to the Highlands and Meadows Courses, there is also the Arthur Hills-designed Groves Course, an 18-hole executive course. The Highlands Course has an "old Florida" layout equipped with plenty of trees and water that tumble across gentle hills. You'll be playing through majestic oaks and towering pines as you take on this challenging-but-fair test. Narrow, tree-lined fairways and small greens demand accuracy but generously the reward well placed shot. The golf course finishes with a tricky par 4. Your tee shot will to be straight and accurate to avoid the fairway bunkers on the left and right, positioning you for a mid iron back into a green that sloped front-to-back and guarded by bunkers on both sides. There is also a lake to the front left.

As Close To Private Club Conditions & Layout As You Will Ever Find

This course recently hosted a Stage 1 qualifier for this summer’s US OPEN. Need you say any more? Bring a lot of balls and play from the appropriate tees. Great course with top notch greens.

Greens

Several greens had bare spots that looks like fungus kill or overfertilizing. I'm sure not getting any rain and the heat are playing their part.

Good Course, Decent Shape, Excellent Value

Played mid-week, mid-day round, in under four hours. Greens were not that fast but rolled true. Cups were cut very sharp. Fairways and bunkers were all in good shape. Overall experience was a very good one. Had not played this course in a couple of years but look forward to going back again soon.

Looked like someone forgot to pay the water bill. The greens had big dead patches and the fairways had hard bare ground.

Great Value

Friendly Staff

Course has a few rough spot on front nine!

Should allow for free drops especially front 9

Back is in much better shape.

Allow players to move ball in situations where green have some bare spots! Not anything to not come and enjoy a great value for the money.”

Good value

Nice course for the money. My only complaint is the lack of a driving range for non-members. When you’re playing once a week, that warm-up is essential, so it’s hard when you have to start cold turkey.
