First Time Playing

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 .

Beautiful Fall Day

We had a great day playing golf at Highland Woods. Fairways, traps and greens were just OK. What I like most about Highland Woods is that you don't see houses. The course has a natural beauty rarely found in a public course. Late season golfers play fast for the enjoyment of the game. Hit the ball, take the putt and move along. Forget the score and enjoy the game and the woods.

Nice course

This is a nice public course, really busy with retirees so it plays really slow. Very walkable for folks that like to walk. Just don't plan on being under 4 1/2 hours though 'cause it ain't gonna happen. Very scenic and a lot of nature.

Nice course

Nice County owned course, plays slow though. Lotsa old timers (myself included) but it's a good value.

Nice place for an early fall rou5

The course was in good shape considering the lack of rain. Staff was friendly and polite. Pace of play exceeded expectations considering my previous rounds I've played there.

First Time Playing

Five hour round

First time playing this course and based on reviews was attracted to the strong ratings on course conditions. Course is in great shape, staff was friendly and yet no one seemed to be too concerned about the pace of play. We waited on every shot and at the turn, we had 6 groups playing and waiting to play. They finally sent someone out on the course to see what the problem was after many of us came inside the pro shop complaining. Ridiculous
