Still a solid course

I’ve played this course many times. I always enjoy playing here. Doesn’t feel like a forest preserve course. My only suggestion is that this course needs a ranger. There are a lot of regulars that play very slow. Had a twosome in front of my threesome that held us up all day. A ranger could have resolved all of this. But the course layout is no walk over. A lot of dog legs, have to be accurate or your looking at bogie or worse. Tee boxes in fair shape, greens are good but a lot of geese crap on fairways. Suggestion, a bell or something on the 18th hole. Blind tee shot to group ahead, hard to see when they have moved on. Otherwise I will return again. One of my favorite courses to play.

Highland woods is in very good shape . Greens fast and true now that they have aerated the greens cut and rolled. very challenging greens and good fairways. Wish they could have greens like this all year long.

Great!

Golf cart that we were using had problems with acceleration. Group of 6 in front of us played very slow and had to wait at each hole and group behind us played very quickly so we end up teeing at the same time. Was only able to play front 9 because of daylight. Wish there was a way to play back nine.

Weekend Round

Course was in great shape. Greens has been aerated about 3 weeks ago but have recovered and were excellent. Greens were running fast, really killer pin placements today. Fairways and rough were also excellent. Played early and round took 4 1/2 hours. Normal for this course.

This course great!

The course was just outstanding!! The only problem is we ran into a 10 group that just held us up for at least 30 minutes each hole.

I would recommend this great manicured golf course!!

Never knew I had a gem walking distance from my home
