Higlands Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Highlands Country Club exclusively for members, or can I play as a guest?

Highlands is primarily a private club, but you do have options. We recommend checking for reciprocal agreements if you're a member elsewhere, or inquiring about limited public play opportunities during off-peak seasons. Sometimes, staying at a partner lodge in the area can also grant you access.

What's the most challenging or iconic hole I should prepare for at Highlands?

You'll definitely remember the par-3 14th; it's a stunning downhill shot with the mountains as your backdrop, but the wind can be a real factor. Don't let the view distract you from the tricky green complex, which demands precision to avoid a bogey.

When's the ideal time of year to play a round at Highlands Country Club?

We think late September to mid-October is unbeatable. The crisp air and vibrant fall foliage transform the course into a masterpiece, making every shot feel more dramatic. You'll also find the course conditions are usually prime, and the summer crowds have thinned out.

What makes the overall experience at Highlands unique beyond just the golf course?

The clubhouse itself is a highlight, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding highlands-perfect for a post-round drink on the veranda. Their dining room also serves up some fantastic local fare, making it a complete experience that extends well past your final putt.

Should I plan on taking a caddy, and what's the typical pace of play at Highlands?

We highly recommend a caddy here; their local knowledge on the subtle breaks and elevation changes is invaluable, especially on your first visit. You can generally expect a comfortable pace of play, usually around four hours, allowing you to truly savor the experience without feeling rushed.
