Great course back to good form

I’ve played the Highlands hundreds of times. The last three years were terrible. Staff is always friendly but the course had deteriorated into terrible shape. It is 98% back to being a great course. Hole six still has issues on the green but overall the course is probably one of the best public courses in the area for layout, fairways greens and amenities. Best round I’ve had here in years, well worth a play and better than most area courses.

Too many bare spots.

Good course but too many bare spots on greees. Lots of bare spots in fairways as well. Should be better given the support from the Mca.

Needs TLC

Tee boxes - rough shape
Fairway - Spotted in areas.
Greens - bare spots- weeds- rolled OK
Layout - OK
Price to high for the course, This is a $50-$60 course at best.
Only would play again if in that price range.

Not good value

I like this course. The layout is good. The staff is super friendly. Unfortunately, it looks like the owners aren’t putting enough effort into maintaining the course. The biggest issue is green conditions. I played here 1 year ago and there were dead spots, but for the most part these spots didn’t impact play. This year the dead spots were worse and you could see the ball bounce/change course because the dead spots were deep into the green. I do not recommend this course.

Just a Thought

I like this place, and will continue to play here, but golfers who need handicapped assistance should take note. The carts are programmed to stop going forward when taken off proscribed pathways, which I understand. This limitation can be overridden electronically, but there remains many places where a person of limited mobility must walk too far or climb too steep. I walked over 80 yards to hit my second shot on a par 3 that had gone left of the green away from the cart path. Fortunately I am recovering well and soon may not need accomodations, but earlier in my recovery, I would have had to abandon balls and eventually the round prior to its completion. Before anyone else says it, I realize that if I would hit the ball straighter and with more consistency, the problem would not be as severe. I am working on improvement in all areas.

Good but slow

Course was good challenging enough not very long. Conditions were as expected for the caliber of golf advertised. There were two threesomes in front of us playing from the same group and no one in front of them and they refused to let us play through so maybe some monitoring of pace of play would have been good. It was annoyingly slow.

Got irrigation?

Maybe they could try watering the tees.. parched and thin. Most greens we overseeded but rolled pretty well. The untreated greens were half the speed, so lots of puts. $74 is a bit much for this course.
