FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Highlands Golf Club and what to expect.
Highlands Golf Club is regarded as a strategically complex layout. With a slope of 91.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 59.0 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 3293 yards. The back tees extend to 3560.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 59.0 and par 71, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 71 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Measuring 3560.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
Highlands Golf Club 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 91.0 and yardage reaching 3560.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
