If you're going to play go early in the morning during the week skip the weekends. Layout is kind of cool greens are nice
Almost a 6-hour round on a Saturday..
cart paths are in need of repair
the course is well kept and is a challenging track, the cart paths however are in bad shape and in need of repair very bumpy with large sections missing.
Overall
This course was amazing to me. It was well kept and it was somewhat hard but not too easy which is perfect. All the staff was very friendly and because it was my first time, very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back and I would definitely recommend this course to my friends. Thank you for a wonderful experience
Wide fairways = one of my best rounds
It’s pretty easy to avoid trouble off the tee at Highland Woods, and that definitely can help your score. Playing from the blue tees, it’s long but manageable for a mid-handicapper. The greens were in pretty good shape, but the fairways and tee boxes weren’t great. Several of the women’s tees were too far back or at odd angles, making some holes almost unfair for many women. The driving range is decent, with old mats.
Ahh it's okay
The course is decently maintained for a forest preserve course. They staff is not very friendly. They are the only course in town that I am aware of that makes you prepay.
Prepay and conditions
I don’t like prepaying for all the golfers in my group, that’s ridiculous. The air quality is terrible. because you get no breeze with all the tall trees. But The condition of the course was nice, but had no water on any of the holes or bathrooms.. my group thought the very same thing.
Very good
Wide open and no houses around
You do not lose balls there
At 72 years old, it feels great to walk a course like this
Great experience overall. It would be nice if they had one or two water quarters along the way. Yard Yards markers need to be more conspicuous
