Hidden gem

Very nice course at a reasonable price. Greens are well maintained and true.

Only real concern is yardages appear to be off from score card. And the tee markers are a bit confusing. Would benefit from a yardage book and pros tips as some holes need strategic advice such as number 12! Overall worth the trip.

Doing the right things.

Recently purchased by the horse farm, this golf course is showing signs of improvement.

You won't recognize the new interior of the clubhouse. New bar and it's now a great place to host your group.

They have started to let the natural hazards grow out and the course is holding much more moisture so the fairways and greens are improving quickly.

Very enjoyable course.

Thoroughbred at High Point

Major improvements since I last played this course over a year ago. The clubhouse and pro shop changes are amazing!! You have to see for yourself. Course fairways are getting better, numerous tee box additions and hole markers have all been improved.

Greens saved the day

Driving up to a huge black barn as the clubhouse was strange but ok, let's give it a chance. It was 38 degrees and besides the employees car, I was the only vehicle. Needless to say, pace of play wasn't phenomenal. The fairways were brown but the grass was still playable. But the greens were fantastic. I couldn't believe how lush and green they were. They played a little slow with slightly longer grass than normal and some water on the greens. But the nice thing was that they all played true from the first to the last. The course was a little short even from the tips. All in all, I really enjoyed the course and will definitely look forward to playing it again.

Fun with surprises

The course is under new ownership and management and the changes are fantastic. Switching up tee boxes to create different angles to the greens while challenging you with shot distances and control are a few changes. Our recent game had us asking ourselves many times on going for the green or laying up because of the new tee box locations. It's nice to have those thoughts while playing. Let's face it we all can't hit 300 yard drives everyday so it's nice to have to manage your game with 230-250 yard drives on Par 4's with 300 to the pin. Yes you still have the long holes but it's so nice to play with short irons in your hands because of decent first shots on the shorter holes.

I have played courses with PGA Pro Chris Boysel running the show and he brings a new welcomed feel to the courses he runs. We will be back soon!

Needs better maintenance

High Point is a nice little track. Too bad the fairways are losing the battle to crabgrass. It was hard to tell what was and wasn't fairway on some holes.

It's a good value for the price but they really need to invest in some turf maintenance.

High Point Challenges

Course holes are arranged nicely to get you off to a good start. Watch out for number 2 par 3. It appears shorter than it is and you have a tendency to not use enough club. Fairways and T boxes were in good shape. A few of the green's are showing difficulty with the rainy season with patchy bare spots. The course offers good challenge of moderate level for golfers of novice to intermediate ability. We enjoyed our outing very much. The staff was very cordial.

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.
