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.

Pace of play

The first nine holes were very slow due to a foursome two places ahead of my tee time. On starting the tenth hole, the pace was perfect afterwards due to one (Slow) player only playing 9 holes.

Great layout

Highland Woods has a great layout. I’ve always said they could make this into a great course by narrowing the fairways, and adding some more fairway bunkers. This course is very forgiving off the tee. The pace of play during the week is good, but I wouldn’t recommend it on the weekends unless you don’t mind five hour rounds.

Early spring

This was my first time playing here . The pace of play was excellent. Course condition was pretty good for very early spring . Carts were able to be used everywhere. Layout was good. This seems like a “long “ course . Wanted to play here before my league starts here in April .
