Nice course well kept

This is the first time this year we played here and as usual it is well kept especially the fairways. The green fee is not too bad also. Two tumbs up!

Fun Course

This course is a fun change of pace. The par 3’s are challenging. Pat 4/5 holes are open but still difficult. The greens had tons of ball marks on them and weren’t easy to read. Overall, very fun course. Will be back.

NOPE

I purchased my tee time of GolfNow for $21, but it was 18 walking. I decided to rent a golf cart which cost $25. the whole purpose of purchasing this tee time was because it was cheaper, but adding a golf cart made the tee time pricey. The mangers explained that riding is $45, and I was paying the difference. I felt cheated, thinking I would be able to get a fair price for a tee time instead of a hike up the price when I got there just by adding a golf cart. Fairway is fabulous, ruff grass is long and full of dandelions, and greens are recently aired, so it's bumpy roll. with all that said I enjoyed the course.

Hopefully, highlands can work with GolfNow to add golf carts with tee time to get an actual saving instead of being a surprise when checking in.

Meh

No water stations out on course. No beverage cart. Play was extremely slow. No course marshal to push pace of play. Greens currently aerated.
