The Highlands Golf Course

Wishing for a compromise since our twosome did not feel well so a NO show was shared!! Wish that “GOLF NOW” would allow a cancellation when one in the twosome thought it was best to cancel under this truly health situation!Bent Tree showed sympathy but Golf Now” still in question??!

This is a very nice course if they would clean up the lakes, rough and sand traps.

Greens are in terrible shape. The greens are the slowest around

Most of Meadows greens are an extension of the fairway - It could be a great course if the greens were fixed and the staff could learn how to nicer. The cart guys are awesome, they should switch jobs. Groves has much better greens. The staff on the other hand...we’ve played there 25 times due to “location convenience” and everytime I bring a guest they leave saying they never want to go back there due to the unfriendly staff.

Very confusing checkin process, overly picky dress code which is based on relationships, Many amenties and buildings or facilities shutdown, Greens choppy and bumpy, Burden is on the player not the business

The greens on the front nine were in terrible condition,. The fairways of the front mine were better, but still below average for the area. The fairways and greens of the back nine or slightly above average.

Played 18 in under 31/2 hours. Greens were a bit slow relative to putting green. Course layout is nice with multiple tee boxes. Staff is friendly and Covid compliant. Worth the $.

Course is playable and is in average shape. The round was a little slow but we still had a good. Day.

Staff was As GREAT!!

The only bad thing about the course is the horrible greens

Upon arrival, we were very excited about the amount of natural areas and busyness of the course. A driving range turned out to be for members only and the main putting green was closed.. Really liked the layout, but the green conditions were very poor. Slow and bumpy. We had been excited about the course possibly being added to our regular rotation. Bunkers were in very good shape. But the greens were a real turn off. Also, our cart had huge GPS restrictions to the cart path only, that our playing partners' cart was not experiencing (no, theirs was not senior or handicap enabled). Don't ask me why there was a difference? If conditions were better, I would return. Snacks and drinks were available at good pricing and holes were all unique. No back and forth layout that shared a common rough. Hoping conditions improve. Play was 4 1/2 hours, hopefully that was unusual because the course difficultly did not necessitate the extra 1/2 hour. Again, loved the layout and nature throughout the course!

Had a 12:36pm tee time for three.

Arrived early to see if feasible to get out early.

Starter Bob was nice.

However, Bob informed us of a member scramble and that we would be able to tee off after them.

We waited 40 minutes.

NO ONE teed off #1 in that 40 minute time window. Hmmm...

Then, member groups arrived. Two 4somes off #1.

Finally teed off at 1:00pm.

Needless to say, we waited ever hole on the front 9.

Crazy!!

Finally, on #9 the Marshal arrived and suggested we go back to #1 tee and play front 9 again.

We did.

Played 4 holes and left!

Not enough spacing between tee times - long lines at the first tee and definitely throughout the round. Pace of play was awful and unfortunately took a lot out of the experience. Would not recommend based on how they structure their tee times, as they try to squeeze as many people as possible in. I've played here on several occasions with the same experience, so I thought a review was necessary at this point. Will not be returning.

Greens, tee boxes and fairways not in great condition - some greens had very little grass. Fairways and tee boxes were quite dry. Round was done in just over 4 hours, but seemed like we had to wait on every hole. Length was decent, and lots of sand and water hazards. Sand was in pretty good shape. Long way between holes in several places.

Wasn’t in terrible shape, but plenty of room for improvement. I live here and Highlands has always been one of my favorite tracks. This could be one of the areas fine courses if only the management would pay some attention and maintain it more. When you vertical the greens, top dress them!! It firms them up. Hey, you have to spend money to make money. I’d like to call out the players of this course, too. PLEASE sand your divots and repair your ballmarks on the greens. Nothing will ruin a putting surface than ballmarks.

Most decent courses overseed in November with winter blend rye grass. This course had sparse cover on the fairways, and barespots and disease on the greens. Not every green, but quite a few. For a course in a golf community with a private sister course I have to assume all the funds go to the private course. Also was surprised that the driving range was for members only. Had try drive cart about a half mile to the 1st tee. Obviously it is set up to cater to the members.

The tee boxes and greens were pretty poor condition. Previous rounds were much better. Might be better in as couple of months.
