Fun wide course
I played this course maybe 6 times this year. Always in solid condition even through a very dry September. I play during the week usually so the pace is great.

Good deal - Fun Course
Played with my son before he went back to college. We had a fun time. A bit slow, no rangers to keep pace and no on course water (it was hot). Overall we had a nice time.

Nice landscape but maintenance lacked
Highland woods is a beautiful course, but there are 3 issues i have every time i play. #1) Golf carts are rickety and need to be worked on. they sound and feel like they are falling apart, #2) The bunkers have so many rocks in them that you WILL hit them each and every time you hit out of a bunker. #3) The greens are always so torn up. nobody seems to fix their approach mark and no groundkeeper goes early morning to fix it.

Good Course - Pace of play slow
Highland Woods is a fun track in the cook county course portfolio. Price was great, pace of play was just so-so. Once summer ends that may change. Rangers/starters really need to stress players choose the correct tees.
