2/23/2012 - First time at this course. It was a cold and windy day. Somewhat less challenging than other courses we played.
You can test your skills from longer tees here, but there are still some definite challenges. Staff was very nice and receptive! Would play again. Posted by Norb (St. John'S, NL CANADA)

2/2/2012 - Very nice.Would play again. Posted by Ron (Ottawa, IL)

1/14/2012 - Very enjoyable and interesting course to play. Unlike most Orlando courses, it has elevation changes with some nice downhill driving holes. My favorite course of our trip. Posted by (St. John'S, NL CANADA)

11/22/2011 - Played here before and once again enjoyed our round. Posted by Mark (Ct125jh Ramsgate Kent, UNITED KINGDOM)

8/20/2011 - Returned to Highlands Reserve on first day of trip. Really lovely course to start with - friendly reception, good practice facility and well presented, not too tough links-style course. Great value too. Quiet in the summer months so we could play as a two ball and we barely saw another sole all round - Millionaires' Golf! Will definitely return here again next time. Posted by Ed, Leicester, UK

4/7/2011 - Fairly open course but the greens are its defense. Lots of break and slope. Good course, friendly staff. Posted by Don (Lyndeborough, NH)

4/6/2011 - Good course to play first day. Wide fairways, course was in nice condition. Posted by Lawrence (Willow Springs, IL)

3/31/2011 - Great opening course. Wide open course allows for a warm up before playing tighter courses. Course was in good shape and golf staff was very friendly and helpful. Posted by Al

3/28/2011 - Played this course two different days - all staff very pleasant and helpful both days. Posted by Becky (Bloomfield, IA)

3/17/2011 - Fun course. Lots of character and elevations changes. Great par 3s. People very nice. Will play again. Posted by Charles (Rossville, IN)

3/14/2011 - It's our first day course every year. A good warm-up after a few months off before tackling the tougher ones. Not that it doesn't have some challenging holes. Posted by Chris (Rocky River, OH)

1/7/2011 - Course in good shape all of us hade a good time Posted by Luc (Drummondville, QC CANADA)

5/5/2010 - Golf course on a scale of 1-10 is about 5. Posted by Ron (Palm Harbor, FL)

5/5/2010 - Very nice course, not a complaint here at all. Posted by Chris (Barrie, Canada)

4/22/2010 - Course was in good to excellent shape. Not crowded the first day but packed and slow play the second day. No decision on play for next year. Posted by John (N. Royalton, OH)

4/1/2010 - Decent course, challenging enough for the 1st day of our trip. Plenty of bare spots on most greens from last year's aeration, but the ball rolled smoothly nonetheless. We really wanted and needed to use the practice range, but the facility was so small that we had to line up for a spot like it was the men's room at an NFL stadium. Getting to the course close to an hour ahead turned out to be a waste. Friendly staff. All said and done, we still had a great time! Posted by Kris (Norristown, PA)

3/29/2010 - Very nice layout, enjoyable even in the rain. Some green damage due to winter, but very playable. Posted by Gary (Weston, ON CANADA)

3/18/2010 - Great course in great condition. We will play this course again next year. Good friendly service. Posted by Bob (Owensboro, KY)

3/4/2010 - Enjoyable course. Too bad the winter was so hard and the grass was beat down. We would like to play that one again when the Bermuda greens up. We rated this course better than Orange Lake and Diamondback, but lower than Royal St. Cloud.
Posted by Joe (Williamsport, MD)

2/28/2010 - Played on a cold Saturday for Florida. The course was still fun and forgiving for those who are coming from the cold weather and looking for a good time and ability to work your swing out. Greg the Pro was nice and accommodating. Will play there again Posted by Jack.

2/19/2010 - Nice layout, challenging but some easy holes help score. Posted by Lynn (Mechanicsburg, PA)

2/12/2010 - Some of the most elevations I've ever seen in Florida. Nice layout and does play long when windy. Posted by John (Martins Creek, PA)

2/11/2010 - Course not well maintained. I will give them benefit of the doubt because there had been so much rain prior to our arriva. Posted by Edward (Annapolis, MD)

2/11/2010 - This was the best course of the the three that we played this year. Staff was friendly and we had a great time playing Highlands. Posted by Keith (Schenectady, NY)

3/19/2009 - Play this course and you will wonder if you're really in Florida. There are many elevation changes, waste bunkers,and pine trees. It can be especially tough on a windy day. Posted by Brian (Bedford, NH)

3/17/2009 - The layout of the course is very good. Good combination of holes. Greens large and very challenging with large slopes. Found course very dry and fast on our visit. Lots of sand. Overpriced for the condition of the course. Posted by Chri

3/12/2009 - Highlands Reserve is one of our favorite courses to play. Its location is great. The layout is long but forgiving, which is great for those who haven't swung a club in months! We'll be back again. Posted by Craig (Indianapolis, IN)

2/14/2009 - Very nice course. Our group of 8 all liked it and will play again next year. Course was in good shape with undulating greens and lots of sand and waste areas. The course was a fair test. Posted by Mark (Grassie, Canada)

2/12/2009 - A nice community course to play. Looks wide open but the sloping fairways can get you in trouble. Nice pace of play
Posted by Edward (Annapolis, MD)

3/25/2008 - Very happy with the course and the staff. We will consider keeping it in our plans for next year. Posted by Dan Beatty (Welland, Canada).

3/23/2008 - Great golf course and staff. The night before we played the area got 2.5 inches of rain, we had a 7:30am tee time and you would have never known that it rained the night before. The course was in great shape, excellent drainage. we were allowed to drive the carts on the fairway. Of the three courses we played on our weekend trip, this unanimously got the vote for the course we would like to play again next year. Posted by Donovan (Bronx, NY).

3/20/2008 - Loved the elevation changes. Great visuals for most landings areas. Greens were quick and undulating and putted smoothly. Decent driving range. Overall ambience of facility was less than expected. Posted by Gary (Lexington, MA).

3/12/2008 - Enjoyed the course very much and found the staff very helpful. Posted by Nancy (Perryville, MD).

3/10/2008 - Very wide open course. Kind of a pleasure after all of the tougher courses. Posted by William (Saginaw, MI).

3/1/2008 - They were very accommodating to us. Our flight was late landing. We called the course, and they moved some groups around to still get us in before the sun set. Course was in very good shape. Very challenging, especially with the elevation changes. We will be back. Posted by Mark (Kiel, WI).

2/29/2008 - Staff was very good, course is a pretty wide open course. Hard to lose balls here. Very good course for all abilities. Would love to play again. Posted by Ray (Fayette City, PA).

2/28/2008 - Older course with heavy play. Challenging, but much like public courses back home. Posted by Richard (Kentwood, MI).

2/27/2008 - Great course for the beginner or average golfer as it is a golfer friendly course. Not a terribly challenging course if that is what you are after. Posted by Richard (Indianapolis, IN).

2/26/2008 - Highlands Reserve is a B+ course. Posted by Vincent (Abingdon, MD).

2/7/2008 - Good course for the money. Nice to play a course with some elevation changes. Wished they had done a little more overseeding for the winter. The general condition is very good.
Posted by Paul (Westborough, MA)

1/26/2008 - Loved Highlands Reserve! The terrain was completely different than any of the other courses with plenty of rolling hills. Also, a very good value. Posted by Jay (Decatur, IL).

1/14/2008 - Good golf course with extremely fast greens. Many sand traps are surrounding each hole. Also very pleasant to see all the orange trees along each hole. It was a nice relaxing course. Posted by Rachelle.

03/06- "What a course! Reminded us of northern courses. Rolling
fariways, difficult greens, lots of sand. By far the best course
we played this week. The staff was outstanding. A must play."

06/06:- "A fantastic experience, played the best round of my
life,the greens were fast but true. I will always remember thiscourse and hope to return one day."

This course was built on the site of a former orange grove and natural preserve area. The rolling layout features open fairways and large greens, some double or triple-tiered. The signature hole is #16, a 385-yard, par 4, which captures the essence of this course as challenging yet fair. The hole plays uphill to a large green, which slopes in the middle.
