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.

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
