Nestled in the hills among
old citrus groves, burgeoning pine trees, and a nature reserve
is the Highlands Reserve Golf Course. The scenic layout of
this par 72 championship course traverses over 120 feet of
elevation change. Constructed in 1998, Highlands Reserve boasts
large undulating greens that place a premium on shot making.
As you make your way through the course you will encounter
a combination of pine tree lined fairways reminiscent of North
Carolina and open spaces that remind players of the land where
golf was created. Welcome to Highlands Reserve Golf Club.
 Highlands
Reserve measures 6,673 yards and carries a course/slope rating
of 72.1/118. The golds play 6,010 yards at 68.8/115, and the

"Sure, the first vision the
name Orlando conjures is of a giant, smiling rodent with oversize
ears, floppy shoes and a falsetto voice. He towers over this
central Florida burg, which really is like Las Vegas - minus
the card, roulette and craps tables. But look past the tinsel
and you can find a golfing oasis."
Larry Dorman, The
New York Times |
