FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Highland Park Golf Course and what to expect.
Players often find Highland Park Golf Course technically exacting. This slope level makes it manageable compared to championship venues. The course rating of 70.1 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5636 yards. The back tees extend to 6219.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 70.1 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Stretching to 6219.0 yards from the back tees, distance is less of a barrier than precision.
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. 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 119.0 and yardage reaching 6219.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
