Didn’t let me play

Terrible experience. After planning for a week, taking my 11 year old daughter (who is in golf camp and might have a better swing than me) shopping for new golf attire, driving a half hour to get there, they turned us down at the front desk. Said you have to be 12 years old to play there, which was not mentioned during booking on golf now. Zero compassion or accommodation, just broke my daughter’s heart. No help for refund either, just told me to call GolfNow and take it up with them. Never heard of or experienced a rule like that before at any other courses

First Time Playing

Some of the tee boxes were just flat grass patches, fairways are a goat pasture. Most of the greens were actually in good shape, just need mowing and rolling. Pin positions were all on corners of the greens and not one flat cup. Pace of play is not managed at all, they starter said “if the tee box is open go”, it was backed up all day. Over all crappy course, would not go back

Could be a nice course

The course is in ok conditions. The pace of play was horrible. There were a group of guys that hit multiple shots from

The tee box. They played several holes then came back several holes and jumped between us and the foursome in front of us. The group was very drunk and almost started an argument about jumping between the groups. No ranger ever on site. No manager to complain to either. Poorly ran establishment.

Great Value, Slow Pace of Play

Overall this course is solid, a good value for your money spent per round. However, there was a severe delay at each hole due to slow golfers not keeping up with the pace of play. The course had a cart waitress who made a few rounds and was very friendly, but there were no course rangers and as a result, my group of two was stuck waiting at each tee box for nearly ten minutes while slow golfers two groups ahead did not keep up with the pace of play. Had there been rangers to keep track of the pace, this would not have happened. All blame falls on the solo player two groups ahead who dragged his feet and even stood in the middle of the fairway having a conversation with the greenskeeper instead of hitting his next stroke. I want to assume this is not a common occurrence at this course, but on this particular day we had to end our game after only 11 holes. I would like to return to this course soon, and I hope that I am not put in the same position.

Rude Staff and policies

I was part of a threesome. We arrived twenty minutes early. No other golfers around or grounds crew on hole one. We were told to wait until 7:00 when we had a 6:48 tee time. My son and his girlfriend were in town for his birthday and she did not have her clubs but was planning on using his. She was a fully paid participant, yet was told she had to rent a set of clubs which were junk and full of dirt, grass, etc. She never used them throughout the round and the two of them played best ball. several greens were not in good shape. Few people were on the course and I was told by another golfer that they have driven away 50% of their membership. Not a good message being sent for the Town of Highland which has many good things otherwise.

Overbooked...SLOW

The pace of play was extremely slow...overbooking and sightseeing golfers stopping to take picture caused a huge backup.. on top of an extremely hot day the greens were dry and in poor condition - we were there for Father's Day but ended up playing only nine holes because of all of the above
