Beware if you play early

When we arrived we were told no motorized carts on the back 9 and had to walk. I’m fine walking when you plan for it.

Maintenance staff was rude. Cutting greens while we were waiting to tee off. Saw we were there and would not move to the side to let us play on. Waited 10min for them to move as we did not want to hit them.

After our approach shot on 18, staff relocated the hold with balls on the green. He said he was in a hurry and had to leave. He could have atleast waited for us to out out before relocating the hold to the other side of the geeen.

Staff needs an understanding of how to work around golfers that are actively playing the course. Won’t go back.

Wrong forecast

I had an early tee time, but by the end of the 18 holes, I found out the temperature was in the upper 90s. The course was in excellent condition. I always enjoy Highland Woods. I only wish I lived closer to the course.

Great condition for the money

Recently played at highland woods and had such a great experience that I returned 2 days later for a second round. The course was in great shape, the greens were rolling well and for the price the conditions and course layout was a great deal.

Will be back again often this summer !

Great Forest Preserve Course

This is a fun and challenging course. Staff is friendly. Was surprised at the course layout and elevation. Sand traps were a little inconsistent, but we shouldn’t be in them anyway😉 Will play again!

Seriously?

One porta john on the ENTIRE course? That's entirely unacceptable. Saw people sneaking off into the woods to relieve themselves.

Solid Track. Very long

Course is in very good condition and pace of play was on point. It is a bit of a beast due to the length, but the challenge is on point with guarded greens and nothing absurd. Staff was nice this time, have had a different experiences in the past. Anything under $60 is a good price and will challenge those who don’t hit long. Would absolutely play another at this rate.
