Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time of year to play Highland Golf Club, and what should I expect from the weather?
We find late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the most enjoyable conditions at Highland. You'll avoid the summer's peak humidity and experience the course when the fescue is perfectly golden, making those elevated tee shots truly spectacular. Be prepared for a brisk breeze, especially on the exposed back nine, which adds to the links-style challenge.
What's the signature challenge or a must-play hole at Highland Golf Club?
Without a doubt, the par-3 14th, 'The Summit,' is Highland's defining moment. It plays significantly downhill to a green guarded by a deep bunker on the left and a steep drop-off right, demanding precise club selection against the often-swirling winds. Don't let the breathtaking panoramic views distract you from the task at hand.
Is Highland Golf Club walkable, or should I plan on taking a cart?
While technically walkable, we strongly recommend a cart at Highland, especially if you're planning 36 holes. The elevation changes between holes 7 and 11 are substantial, and you'll want to save your energy for those challenging uphill approaches. Plus, it lets you soak in the scenery without feeling rushed.
What's the general vibe like at Highland Golf Club - is it very exclusive, or more laid-back?
Highland strikes a great balance-it's certainly well-maintained and feels premium, but without any stuffiness. You'll find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, often with a mix of serious local players and enthusiastic visitors enjoying the views. It feels like a club that respects the game but doesn't take itself too seriously.
Do you have any insider tips for booking a tee time or getting a better value at Highland?
To snag a prime morning tee time, we recommend booking at least three weeks out, especially for weekend play. For a slightly better value, look for twilight rates after 2 PM; you often get 18 holes in and experience a stunning sunset over the back nine. It’s a magical way to finish your round.
