Highlands Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to play Highlands Golf Course for the best experience?

We always recommend visiting Highlands in late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in pristine condition, the mountain air crisp, and the views absolutely spectacular without the intense summer heat or unpredictable late-season chill. Book your tee time for a morning slot to beat any afternoon breezes that can really impact your long game.

How challenging is Highlands Golf Course, especially for mid-handicappers?

Highlands is a proper test, even for seasoned players, thanks to its significant elevation changes and deceptively sloped greens. The par-3 7th, with its dramatic downhill shot, demands precise club selection, while the uphill par-5 12th will definitely test your stamina and strategy. Don't be afraid to take an extra club on uphill approaches here.

What are the must-see holes or views at Highlands Golf Course?

You absolutely cannot miss the panoramic vistas from the 14th tee - it's a photo op waiting to happen, with the entire valley stretching out below. We also love the challenging dogleg left on the 16th; it offers a stunning backdrop of ancient pines and a real risk-reward decision off the tee. These holes truly capture the course's unique character.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Highlands Golf Course, and is it worth it?

Expect to pay in the range of $180-$250 for a prime tee time, which includes a cart - you'll want it for those hills. We think it's absolutely worth every penny for the immaculate conditions, breathtaking scenery, and the unique challenge this course presents. Book well in advance, especially for weekend play, as it fills up fast.

What's the best way to unwind after a round at Highlands Golf Course?

After tackling those hills, head straight to the clubhouse patio. They have a fantastic local craft beer selection, and the views overlooking the 18th green are the perfect spot to recap your round. If you're looking for dinner, we suggest grabbing a casual bite at "The Eagle's Nest," just five minutes down the road, for some hearty, local fare.
