The elevation changes at Highlands are no joke, and they really impact your club selection, especially on the back nine.

Which holes at Highlands Golf Course should I really pay attention to or look forward to playing?

You absolutely must savor the par-3 7th, which offers breathtaking panoramic views from the elevated tee - it's a postcard moment.

These two really capture the course's essence.

What's one practical tip for a first-time player at Highlands Golf Course to ensure a good round?
