| Review Summary:
I played in a best ball tournament at Highland National and was the first
time I had played the course. I liked the course and being in the city
most of the time did not feel like it. Holes were fair, but you could get
in trouble if you looked for it. The elevated greens were a challenge and
you will have to use an extra club on most holes. |
| Conditions:
Played in early August and the course was in very good condition. The tee
boxes were good, level and well maintained. The greens were challenging as
they were large and sloping. The only complaint I would have is that the
fairways were not in the greatest of conditions, with somewhat barren
areas on a several of the holes. I think that by next year that should be
resolved. |
| Scenery: You
were able to get a feeling of countryside while still being in the city.
One par three was slightly strange because to the left of the fairway were
two large water towers, which caused a little issue for depth perception
since they overpowered the surroundings; but fun nonetheless. |
| Layout: The layout of the
course was good and I thought they did a good job with the track;
considering they were landlocked when they did the redesign. |
| Services:
The service could not have been better. Friendly people in the club house.
Did not visit the pro shop. |

Expected more with all the hype it got. The word "National" has no place
here. |

| Scenery: The
new layout has improved the scenery. |
| Layout:
Not impressed. Sure it's better than the old course, but
that's not saying much... |
| Services:
Played in a tournament. Not much opportunity to measure that. |
