Great Course

Used to play there somewhat regularly, but hadn’t played there for maybe 5 years. Enjoyed my round again today. The course is still great to play.

Highland Woods

HW gets a lot of play, so expect a slower pace on weekends. Carts are older; ours barely kept up with the walkers in our group. The course was fun and in surprisingly good condition for a public course that gets heavy play.

First Time Playing

Very fun normal course

Very fun course, nothing fancy, well kept course. There was nothing that stood out to me as bad and I had a lot of fun. Lots of water and some challenging holes. If I didn’t live so far away, I’d play this course a lot more often

Greens and other amenities

Greens were not maintained well. Course could use some water stations and ball washers.

Great place

For a public course this one has character as there r no homes on the course and each hole is it’s own world. The only weakness is the sand in the sand traps is more of a dusty sand . Overall I would recommend this course. The four rounds I have played have been finished in up four hours and 15 minutes.

Rude and ill mannered staff

I played here many time but I always ignored the attitude of staff ladies. They are very rude, a noxious and cranky because both of them are old farts. They have no manners and really zero customer service.

If you buy an online deal without cart.and if yiu want to buy at the counter then it used to be $10 per person. Today we got a great deal and wanted a cart and she said $18 per person. When I said week ago and two week ago it $10 per person, she said if you want it is $18 otherwise no cart. When I took the case to so called GM, he is one more joker telling me that they made mistake. I said they are keep making mistake week after week. He just shrugs his shoulder like so and he don’t care….,

This mean it is a place with bunch of losers who don’t care about business and customer. I would suggest to go somewhere and don’t even think about even trying this place.

Nice course, but with Bumpy Greens and No Water Stations

We played this course on arguably one of the hottest days of the year. The course was pretty nice overall, but the greens were not very well mantained.

More importantly, there were no water stations throughout the course, so if we didn't bring enough water with us, we could have been in trouble. I'd suggest they provide water on one of the holes in each nine.
