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.

Very nice course

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Driving range and practice greens were conveniently located. The only thing that stuck out to me was the fairways were a little dry at times but with the lack of rain we’ve been having in the last few weeks It was nothing out of the ordinary. Nice course. Would recommend to any golfers

Weds Twlight Golf

Highland Woods continues to be a really good value. The greens and fairways were in good shape. One change is that they are really letting the rough grow in, areas that used be mowed are more than a foot tall and ball magnets. The staff is generally friendly, but I heard some of the staff complaining about folks not be done before sunset. One of the best things about Highland twilight is that they have let us play until it is not reasonably light (say 15 minutes after sunset), I hope that doesn't change. Otherwise a fantastic value for a social round of golf.

pro shop staff is so rude

a guy at the pro shop is almost always rude.

he seems upset every time.

he often speak too loudly that offended others.

I have a doubt if he has a bad emotion toward minorities.

Many my Asian friends complained about their bad experiences with him.

I would recommend to avoid this guy if you want to enjoy your game.

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!
