FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Highland Park Golf Course and what to expect.
Highland Park Golf Course presents a demanding test. With a slope of 116.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 67.2 reflects on scoring relative to par 70.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5160 yards. The back tees extend to 5591.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 67.2 and par 70, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 70 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Measuring 5591.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
Highland Park Golf Course is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 116.0 and yardage reaching 5591.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
