These greens are really tough. They ate my lunch! What the course lacks in creativity it more than makes up for it with some crazy sloped greens. I can hold my own with my putter, but these greens left me shaking my head most times. They broke when they shouldn't have and rolled in directions that made no logical sense to me.The fairways were rolling and took your tee shots to the lowest possible spots or off the fairways completely. Trees were absolutely everywhere. Keep it straight or spend some time looking in the pines. The houses were a distraction and to boot they were old and unattractive.

it is much harder for golfers with pull carts because of the uphill slopes, the greens are more dificult then suspected and there too many houses next to the course a golf course should be sucluded. but the faculty and employees are very welcoming, and it gives a kind of homey feel...in my opinion
Highland is a fairly challenging course. There's very good variety from hole-to-hole...mainly because the course runs over hilly geography. Traffic at Highland isn't as dense as that at Riverside, which makes it somewhat more enjoyable. The greens at Highland can eat you alive if you don't keep track of how to play them. Because of the slope of the course, a green may look totally slanted, while in reality it is smooth and flat. The exact opposite can be the case on other holes. A fun course that challenges many skills. Oh yes...remember that most of the greens slant toward the valley where the city is.
