Frequently Asked Questions

When's the ideal time to tackle Highland Springs, considering its unique conditions?

We recommend aiming for spring or early fall. You'll avoid the intense summer heat that can really dry out the fairways, making approach shots tricky, and the spring bloom or autumn colors add a beautiful backdrop to your round. Plus, the course is typically in peak condition during these seasons.

How challenging is Highland Springs for a mid-handicapper, especially its back nine?

The front nine is quite forgiving, but don't get complacent. The back nine at Highland Springs demands precision, particularly around holes 14 through 16, where water hazards come into play more aggressively than you'd expect. We always suggest bringing a few extra balls if your fade tends to turn into a slice under pressure.

What's the one hole at Highland Springs everyone talks about, and why?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 7th hole. It's a stunning downhill shot over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green, offering incredible views of the surrounding hills. It's a true risk-reward hole that will test your nerves and club selection, and it's easily the most memorable on the course.

Is Highland Springs a good value, and what should I expect for green fees?

We think it's a solid value, especially if you play during the shoulder seasons. Green fees are competitive for a course of this caliber, typically ranging from $60-$90 with a cart, but always check their website for twilight rates-they can be a steal. You're paying for well-maintained greens and a memorable layout, not just a quick round.

What's the post-round vibe like at Highland Springs, and is there a good spot to grab a bite?

The clubhouse at Highland Springs has a surprisingly cozy, local feel. We always head to "The 19th Hole Grill" for their famous brisket sandwich and a cold local craft beer-it's the perfect way to dissect your round. It's unpretentious and exactly what you want after 18 holes.
