Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Highland Golf & Country Club - why did it close?
We saw Highland Golf & Country Club close its doors, which was a real shame for the local golf scene. The land was eventually redeveloped for housing, a common story for many urban courses facing increasing property values and development pressures. It's a stark reminder of how quickly these beloved greens can disappear from our landscape.
What was Highland Golf & Country Club known for when it was open?
When Highland was active, you'd find a classic parkland layout that was always well-maintained and offered a fair challenge. It wasn't a championship monster, but it was a reliable, enjoyable round with some tricky greens that kept you honest. We always appreciated its friendly atmosphere and accessible feel, a true community course.
Can you still visit the former site of Highland Golf & Country Club today?
Unfortunately, you won't find any golf holes if you visit the old Highland site now. The land has been completely transformed into a residential community, so there's no public access to what was once fairways and greens. It's a completely different landscape these days, a testament to urban development.
Did Highland Golf & Country Club have any unique history or features?
Highland had a long, proud history as a community staple, serving golfers for decades before its closure. While it didn't boast dramatic elevation changes or ocean views, its mature tree-lined fairways and classic routing offered a timeless golf experience. It was a place where generations learned the game and built lasting memories.
