Highland Woods Golf Course

This is a forest preserve facility. It's got very nice views, and the fairways in Greens are an okay shape. This is not a country club, but then again, you aren't paying country club prices either.

Slowest round ever after a late start as there were no carts available due to two outings in the morning. Every hole was backed up and had to wait to tee off. It would have been good to know of the outings when booking so we could find another golf course.

After arriving at the 1st tee, my colleague and I were late of our tee time by 10 minutes. The starter did a really poor job in ensuring that a pace of play could be established for the first 4 holes, we waits 15-20 at the tee box for players in front to clear the hole. The issue was that the starter released too many people on the course too close together. By the turn, the pace of play corrected itself and we were able to enjoy the course and play. I will come back and play again but early in the morning.

I have played this course number of times, and I always enjoy golfing and friendly staff Thank you

The weather for my first visit here was very hot and humid (friends suggested I was a bit crazy for venturing out with heat index levels above 105 *F), but thankfully the staff was very friendly and accommodating for all of the golfers out in the heat. There were several water coolers available on both the front & back 9, a range who came by with water & ice, and of course the beverage cart was making regular laps around the course.

I thought the course was generally in pretty good shape for a public course, but there were some diseased areas in a few fairways but that's not unexpected for a mid summer conditions. Two of the three bunkers I found were in decent condition, but the last bunker was one a few around the course that was labeled as ground under repair. Hopefully those few bunkers will be finished with their renovations and put back into normal service soon.

Both times I have played this course there was around 5 carts back up on the first tee box. Very first time I played, approximately 40 minute after tee time start. Very poorly maintained rough., expect a lot of lost balls if you miss fairways. Spend your money elsewhere.

You can expect courses to play a little slow, the first 14 holes were great and played well but the groups started backing up at 14 as a group of older "walkers" seemed to tire out and the last 4 holes took an hour and a a half which is brutal and boring breaks the pace of the game. But it was a warm day and the staff was driving offering ice water and making sure everyone was OK on the course. Its always a great staff!

Fun course, mostly wide open. Course was in great shape.

Highland woods is a nice track play was a little slow but recommend the course

Registered an early tee time before 6am to avoid backups. Waited 20 minutes after scheduled tee time and had a backup of three groups in the first tee. Starter allowed groups to tee off in advance of their tee time, bumping us back. Also allowed groups off the back nine too late so that we hit back up at the turn as well.

Greens were inconsistent and each bunker was drastically different. Course has played better even earlier this season.

the course was ingood condition pace of play was slow the rangers need to do a better job the staff was very friendly
