Paying for three.

I play this course with two other family members and the cost has gone up. I don't believe these fees are unreasonable . The fact that I'm paying for three makes me more picky about green fees and cart fees. The three of us would probably play weekly at Highland Woods. If the fees were lower. We liked this course.

A muni is a muni

In general the course is in average/above average shape and playable for anyone, Greens could be firmer and less marked but hard to blame them for the neglect from all the idiots and new golfers who don’t fix ball marks or for that matter pickup their tee or replace/sand their divot these days. Biggest complaint is no water on the course and no beverage cart. Pace of play was fine at 4:20. Concessions only had hot dogs and brats (if you could call the mushy oversteamed thing they gave me a hot dog). For the price it’s hard to complain as long as they keep it moving on the course.

Good not Great

Highland Woods is my "home course" I live about 10 minutes away and I've played this course 25+ times. If you are not a mid handicap, do yourself a favor and play the course shorter. Greens are usually in good shape but if you catch the course on a colder day they can be tough but then again I am not the best putter. Only issue I truly have with the course the past time I played was the staff inside the clubhouse. Not the most friendly for some reason on the day. Would recommend however and will be back!

Nice course good price

Only 4 stars because the greens had a lot of ball marks that were not fixed and lots of spike marks. Not necessarily the courses fault but still was a pain to fix ball marks along your putting lines.

Thursday Twilight in Late July, Perfect for Golfing

In site of recent heavy rains, the course was in good shape. 8 of us had a great after work round of Twlight Golf , finishing on the 18th with a beautiful sunset as a backdrop.

Great course for the money

This course is fantastic for a casual round with friends. On several holes, you can play it safe or go for the more challenging shortcuts. Fairways were in great condition, greens and tees were a little rough, but better than I expected for the money. I’ll definitely be back.

Great Course

This is a well-maintained course. Fairways are fairly wide, which makes it nice off the tee. Bunkers are strategically placed, and greens are well protected. Pace of play was good. It has been a few years since here; will definitely go back. Great price.
