Highlands Golf & Tennis Club

Nice easy course....but I got lost because none of the holes were marked! Halfway through the round the grounds crew brought out the signs. I guess they are installing new poles and signs?

I love this course ! Greens roll true. Layout is great. Fun to play.

This place is great. It's a nice 9 hole public course that's well maintained, and has a driving range with mats. It also has a nice putting green and pitching/chipping range at your disposal as well. Staff is always friendly, and the 7th hole is pretty beautiful.

This is a good course if you are looking for a quick walking nine. The course plays easy with only 1 par 5. Course is usually in decent shape for having a lot of foot traffic. I would recommend playing this early morning, if it is a nice day the course can backup making it a long nine holes. You will see a lot of amateurs playing which slows down pace as well, would not recommend playing this mid day. Has a nice driving range to practice before your round usually hitting off of mats. Course does play very tight and driver is not needed on many holes. Nothing really to do after your round at the course.

For a municipal course it was well kept and layer out nicely. I don't expect a lot from municipals. This is close by and has a nice driving range. It'll work well for what I need.

I'd describe this course as average. It was in decent shape with some greens that needed work. I've played here a few times and it can get pretty backed up. Wanted to eat but the restaurant wasn't open yet at noon. It does have a driving range. The guy inside wasn't nice, but not rude, just not interested. Sometimes you can get a great price on golfnow and it's definitely worth the money if you aren't looking for a high end course. The restaurant has a nice patio. Looks like a decent place to go after you are done if it's open. I'll go back.

Moderate course as a whole. A little spendy for 9 holes.$25. Nice walk. Can get crowded.

Perfect cousre to play in the center of the city. The cousre layout is perfect for the average golfer. Only draw back, you have to be extremely careful; we played on a Sunday evening, their was a charity event going on and there where pedestrians just walking across the fairway to get to there charity event. "Not safe at all!"

If hitting a large bucket of balls makes your back hurt than this is a great alternative.

I was sold a late tee time, like smz above, for around 7 pm. The course was extremely over sold. There was a group of 9 (that's right, 9 people in one group) in front of me. I was happy to use this time to practice, though. I even let the final two groups play through me so that I could practice bunker shots on the second hole. The worst part about the round was when I came to the extreme bottle neck at hole 6. I decided to re-play hole 3, but as I was about to hit my tee shot, the "PGA Pro-Chris" confronted me and insisted that I had cut in front of him. I tried to be patient and explain the circumstances, but the guy was a jerk. He was more interested in confronting me and continuing his round, instead of managing course pace of play, addressing customers respectfully, or metering the amount of golfers sold...his suggestion: "play somewhere else." Easy enough, I will not be going back.

My suggestion: Go somewhere else.

I would recommend: Emerald Greens (great course in North County), Landings at Spirit of St. Louis, Missouri Bluffs, Norman Probstein (The 27 hole course at Forest Park, Creve Couer 9-hole (If you just want to play a nine-hole), or Clinton HIll (in Illinois). Each of these courses are good quality. Emerald Greens is an especially good value.

The highlands at forest park is a well kept course and a great way to get a quick nine holes in. The course layout is very short but has some fun holes that make you make decisions from tee to green. The fairways, bunkers and greens were also in great shape. Came to the course by accident but will play again very soon.

I booked a last-minute tee time for just before 7:00 pm. I was let out as a single, but arrived at the first tee box to see a foursome on the green, a foursome on the fairway, a foursome waiting at the tee box, and a twosome waiting behind them. I skipped ahead to the second hole, but was stuck behind a foursome on the green and a foursome waiting on the tee box. All in all, I had a 15-20 minute wait before every shot and did not get very many holes in. I don't understand the purpose of even having tee times if there is no enforcement or starter to dictate the pace of play. Aside from that, the course is actually in good shape with some fun holes; I think it would be a fun round if you found the right time to go.
