A Must Play
Best course in WV, best course for a day trip from Virginia. Great shape and a few memorable holes, #10 is a gem. We’ll be back!
Seniors Beware
This my very well be the hilliest course I’ve ever played. My husband and I are seniors and played from the silver tees. The course is beautiful but it will test you physically as well as mentally. The views are amazing. The greens are in great condition but they are huge and multi level. There is an island green on a short par four. This green is small. We both laid up our drives. It was a good plan but I over shot the green on my second shot and my hubs hit it but bounced off. We walked away proudly with our sixes. Most holes severely slope right or left. The rough us high! There’s no second cut so hit the fairway on the high side and still expect your ball to run down into deep rough. We lost several balls that were hit well. We drove almost three hours to play a The Highlands. I’m glad we did but once is enough. I can’t comment on amenities. The restaurant was closed probably due to Covid. By the way, no one there was wearing a mask inside but us. That bugged me. Anyway, Go play it, take extra balls, leave your ego in the car, and i promise you’ll have fun.
Challenging course ... worth the drive
This course is a little off the beaten path but worth the drive. Really good layout and scenery and course conditions. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
Only nit would be that several of the greens are very penal (extreme slope and undulations) which while challenging, were borderline unfair if above the hole
Highly recommend this course.
The Highlands 7/25
Course is very hilly. There are a few holes from the tee you don't know where the green is. It wasn't a big deal, but it's one of those courses that you need to play once to get a feel where every thing is located.
Course was in excellent condition. Greens were a little slow, but that was due to the heat.
Staff was very friendly.
When in the area will play again.
Gem
Great course. Beautiful views. Don’t leave yourself above the hole! Downhill-downgrain is impossible to stop and it was a lot fun.
Great Day!
My first time playing this course and I'd like to do it again. The course was in great shape, but the greens a bit different than what I'm used to. They are pretty slow, but I understand they let them get a bit longer to help hold shots.
If it's your first time, make sure you get the card that shows you the layout of the holes, as it's not part of the score card. We didn't know that before playing and didn't get that card. So, there were several holes where we had no idea where the hole was from the tee box, as there are many holes you can't see "tee to green." That hole layout card would have been very helpful.
Overall, a very solid golf day on a beautiful course, and I look forward to going back. I highly recommend it.
Hidden Gem
This course was a great find. Was a rainy overcast day with low cloud cover, but still great conditions with spectacular views. If you’re close by, it is a must play. I was the only person on the course so my pace of play was spectacular.
Not course related but Verizon users beware, I had no phone service in the area so if you are used to playing music during a round make sure you download load your tunes before you get there. I was coming from Harrisonburg and loss reception close to entering The George Washington Park area.
I had to drive a hour and half to play this course but i can say it was definitely worth the drive. Everything was up to par with this course!!! Would definitely recommend this course and i will definitely be back very soon!!!!!
Beautiful mountain course
Great reviews led me to check out this course. Whatever you gather from the previous reviews is what you get. Great conditions, great pace, dramatic layout. Greens, you'll have to adjust to but I understand why they're kept a little long to compensate for the pitch. If you play it correct tactically you can score, if you're greedy you might put up a number. I'd reckon the lake around island green is #1 for lost balls in the region. Also staff is super friendly, great people. Absolutely recommended even factoring in 2+ hour drive to the course. And if you drive from the east, bring your fun car for the mountain pass on 33. Will be putting this place in rotation for sure.
Just West if Harrisonburg and I 81
A very beautiful and challenging mountain course with fabulous greens and fairways. I have been told it might be the best kept secret in WVA golf...and possibly the toughest!
Great price for a wonderful up in the mountains experience. We try to play every time we are close! One of our favorite golf courses anywhere.
Overall a good place to play
Have played there several times, and overall it's a fun day. The course was overall in good shape except for the bunkers, they could use some work. We just usually treat them as waste areas or GUR, and keep going. We will definitely go back.
Nice Course
I’ve played this course several times and always find it in great shape and challenging, especially the greens. Highly recommend playing it.
