Great Value Course!!

High Point is a great course around Lexington that is in good condition, great value, fun course to go out and play 18 with friends.

If your a good player, its not hard at all and if your a weekend golfer, its a fun course with challenges but not overly hard.

Been playing HP for around 13 years....I come back every now again to play. Fun times.

The Reason "High" Is In The Name

Not that it's a deterrent to play this course, but 8 of the greens are higher or lower than the tee boxes to an extreme. And a long downhill slope awaits your tee shot on #4 if it veers even slightly to the right of the fairway.

We've played this course several times over the last couple of years and this is the best shape we've ever found it in, even with recent rain making some of the areas around the greens a little squishy. Greens were in great shape - the balls rolled true and fast. On a drier day I'm sure the fairways would have allowed more roll.

One big change was the women's tee on #9. It used to be an almost impossible shot over a deep ravine. At least on this day that was taken out of play with the tee on the hill closest to the green.

Fun Course

Very fun course, can be tricky if you don't know where to go, there's lots of chances for par-breakers and pars, but if you miss in the wrong spot it can get ugly very quickly. Course conditions were pretty good all things considered, a few barer spots in the fairways, the course played fast and firm, greens were pretty close to flat with little movement.

Good course for the money

Thank goodness it's been raining so much. The fairways are starting to look better, the greens are always tip-top, and it's a nice course. For the price, it's a no-brainier. Very little traffic so rapid pace of play. I've always liked HP. Get the fairways in better condition and I'd rate it even higher.

Couple rough spots, overall great value

Around the green there were some rough areas were the grass wasn't grown... Great people running the course and people on the course we're as well. Definitely a place where you can go out and shoot pretty low. Greens were in good shape and ball was rolling well. I'll be back!

Cheap course, nice layout

It's a pretty course for the money, however you tend to run into a lot of people with no golf etiquette (i.e. Jeans and sleeveless shirts and not letting faster players play through), however for the cost it's worth it as long as you don't get stuck behind someone.

Disappointing

We chose this course because of a great deal from Golfnow. We went to the course and checked in and everything was great and they sent us to the first tee. After we finished the third hole, we were deluged by a scramble tournament. They had a shotgun start and they put two groups on each tee. We played the first three holes in 20 minutes and the last six holes in two and a half hours. We walked off the course after nine holes. The condition of the fairways was terrible. You could have a hard pan lie right in the middle of the fairway. The greens were excellent. Overall, it was not a good experience, luckily, we didn't invest a lot of money into playing

Good for the money

The greens were in excellent condition, but fairways were in pretty awful condition with lots of dirt patches. This made a normally pretty easy course play quite a bit harder because drives hit dead center of some fairways would bounce off into the trees.
And watch out for major beginners on this course because of the price. I've often been stuck behind groups who take multiple mulligans on nearly every shot and do not let you play through...

A Good course

This is a great course especially for the price. The big fault with this course is that the fairways have not been taken care of very well. They are hard and barren. But the greens are the best in the Lexington, in my opinion. So soft and green, its like walking on a memory foam carpet. It's a fun and very pretty course.

Thought I was in Arizona.

Fairways are mostly dead. Ground is dry (we do need rain.) Other courses have overcome this however. Greens were ok, tee boxes were a mess. Some holes it was difficult to know which direction to find the fairway. Observed that food was left in sun uncovered, would not eat anything prepared there. I would play there again, but only on a good deal.

highpiont review

The greens were nice and that was all that was nice. Fairways and tee boxes were terrible. Carts were dirty. Clubhouse is dirty. Would not want food there. Course wasn't that busy, but would have taken over 5 hours if we had not skipped 4 holes just to get out of there.

good value

You can get behind slow people (we had to skip a hole on this particular day, but that was unusual), but for cheap, this course is really fun and scenic. Bermuda grass, so the fairways aren't green yet, but the greens are always pretty good. We play here pretty often.

Ok course for something different

The course is in fair condition. Mostly open with few hazards. Several stream crossings and one pond, but easy to manage. Several fairways slope sideways adding some challenge. The back nine is more scenic and interesting. Staff was super friendly. Worth the value with the Golf Now discount.
