Highland National Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Highland National for optimal conditions?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the best conditions at Highland National, especially May and September when the course is lush but the peak summer crowds have thinned. Aim for a weekday morning if you want a relaxed pace, as weekends can get quite busy here.

What's the signature challenge or most memorable hole at Highland National?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 17th, affectionately known as "The Quarry." It's a dramatic downhill shot over a rocky ravine to a well-guarded green, demanding precision and a bit of nerve. Don't let the stunning views distract you from the wind, which can really swirl down there.

Is Highland National a good value for the green fees?

For a municipal course of its caliber, Highland National offers excellent value. Green fees are very reasonable, especially if you snag a twilight rate, and you're getting a well-maintained, classic layout that feels far more upscale than the price suggests. It's a fantastic option for a quality round without breaking the bank.

What should I expect regarding course conditions and playability at Highland National?

You'll find Highland National generally well-maintained, with true-rolling greens that can be surprisingly quick, especially in summer. The course has some elevation changes, so consider a cart if you're not up for a good walk, though it's certainly walkable. Expect a fair but challenging test of your short game.

What's the post-round experience like at Highland National?

After your round, we always head to "The Tartan Grill" in the clubhouse. It's a no-frills spot with solid pub fare and a great view of the 18th green, perfect for reliving your best shots over a cold drink. It's a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere where you can genuinely relax.
