Highlands of Donegal Golf Club, Mount Joy, PA

Haven't played this course in years due to it's condition, layout and lack of investment in the course by the owners. Went back today (8/20) and this course is still little more than a farm trying to be a golf course. "pro shop" is old and has never been updated, carts are old and run poorly. Course is in terrible shape. Fairways horrible. Weeds growing 6 to 12 inches tall, fairway are not cut. Some balls in fairways were 1/2 covered by grass. Greens very slow due to grass to high. Cups were terrible. Not cut properly with ragged edges and grass growing into cup. This course has always been a "farm" that was cheaply turned into a golf course and it has not improved in many years.

Avery average course which can have some maintenace problems. The 8th hole which is downhill 80 yard par 3 is hated by most players.

An excellent value if you want to take your 12 or under child with you. They play free!

Course was in pretty good shape although the greens showed a lot of usage. Still, they rolled pretty fast.

Some sporty holes, like the short par 3 on the front 9. Some blind shots.

We had fun and will try to play again this summer.
