Highlands Reserve, Davenport, Florida
 Set
atop one of the highest areas of the state, Highlands Reserve is
not your typical Florida golf course. This championship design by
Mike Dasher gives you tree-lined fairways reminiscent of the Carolinas,
open spacious fairways likened to the great Scottish courses, and
a bit of old Florida with citrus trees dotting the countryside.
Large, fast, undulating greens make this course challenging and
fun for all levels of golfers. Conveniently located just minutes
from Walt Disney World and all major attractions, Highlands Reserve
Golf Club is a Central Florida favorite! Since opening its doors
in 1998, Highlands Reserve has been one of Golfpac's most requested
courses by golfers worldwide, and customers continually rank its
customer service, course conditions, and professional staff as top
notch.

Duke Williams says:
I played on 10/16. A fun course. The layout has some challenging
holes, but what I really enjoyed was the elevation change. After
playing mostly flat courses, it was really nice to be up on
a hill with a nice view of multiple holes. The only quirky thing
was the contours of some of the greens. 17, in particular, is
really a bogus design, and several others certainly fit in the
category of " definite challenge" |
Rick Kramer says:
A very enjoyable course with an inexpensive surcharge. My group
always plays here the first day of our annual trip to get ready
for some of the tougher courses in the area. The conditioning
has always been good. Wide fairways and very large greens help
to shake off the winter rust from your game |
J.C OLIVIER says:
Course is in good shape. The greens are not the most friendly
if you have difficulty reading greens. There are lots of bends
and quirks to the them. The 16th green needs to be redesigned.
The starter told us that all of the course difficulty comes
from the greens. This is a great course to get the rust off
if you haven't played for a while. |
CHRISTOPHER KOSTEK says:
A very nice course. It is both fun and challenging. The greens
are wonderful. They keep them at a perfect speed. A must play
for the price. |
mark loutet says:

by houses, has lots of evevation change. very different than
most florida courses that are flat and have houses crowded along
many fairways..highly recommended |
Andy Helzer says:
One of my favorite courses in all of Florida...Have played half
a dozen times and will come back for more...A true golf value...The
conditions were excellent... |
Ray SAYS...
Lipshitz told me that I've been hitting the ball hard all day....all
day....so I broke out the whipsaw and aimed for a gate or rat
dog but I didn't see one..... Nice course |
Robert Lichey SAYS...
I had the pleasure of playing this course 2/21 while my family
and I were on vacation. Not only was the course well laid out,
the staff went out of their way to accomodate my niece and I.
18 holes,cart,rental clubs,lunch, and a challenge on every hole
was well worth the $99. I will play this course again next time
we are in Orlando. I recommend this course if you are ever in
the area. |
JOE SEPANEK SAYS...
From the reviews already posted, you either love this place
or hate it. For our group it played very short, even from the
tips. Greens were so-so. I suppose it's a good course to play
for practice. Made for retirees or your first round of the year.

area.Friendly staff,but not much service on a Tuesday.It's worth
a play. |

a very well kept golf course, more important, very good value
for money paid $59 for 18 holes, hire of electric cart, hire
of set of clubs plus a box of range balls. |
