This is not your typical Orlando golf course! Highlands Reserve sits atop one of the highest areas of Florida and offers remarkable scenery along with a course designed for hot Orlando golf.

This championship design gives you pine 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 along the countryside. All new Diamond Zoysia Greens are large, fast, undulating greens make this Orlando golf course challenging and fun for all levels of golfers. Conveniently located just minutes from Disney and all major attractions, Highlands Reserve Golf Club is a Central Florida favorite!

Highlands Reserve Golf Club (opened in 1998), located 10 minutes southwest of Disney World is a golf course unlike anything you would expect in Florida.

They sell every 8 minutes, even for a party of 4. We were told to skip holes to "move the line". Even when the pace tracker was in green saying we were making good pace. We paid $130 for just 2 of us for not even have a chance to play the whole course. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Can’t fault the course. It’s amazing, easily my favorite golf course in central Florida.

Had a terrible experience today. On the third hole we witnessed a crash landing of a hot air balloon in the middle of the fairway. Delayed us 25 minutes, no problem, check that one off my golf bingo card.

4th hole tee box the ranger comes by, asks us to please fill divots as they’ve been having problems with people not filling them and he’s just making his rounds. No problem, I let him know that we were delayed by a hot air balloon on the third hole and would be way behind pace. No problem, he assured me, and we continued on.

Make the turn, ranger pulls up and tells us that we need to pick up the pace, there are two empty holes ahead of us and a line of people behind us waiting. I remind him we are not behind pace and were delayed by an errant hot air balloon. He tells me it doesn’t matter and we need to pick up the pace.

10th hole he pulls up to another in my party and tells him that we need to pick it up and skip the next two holes. My partner pushed back and said that we were not delayed by our playing, the delay is out of our control and we would not pick up the pace. We paid for 18 holes, we will play 18 holes. Mind you, the tee box behind us is empty and we are at the green—no one was held up. Photo attached of the empty tee box immediately after we were confronted.

Thr ranger threatened to have us trespassed from the property for defying his authority. Way over the line and a total ego trip.

This totally ruined our game. Any golfer will tell you that a round will be ruined if your head isn’t in the right place. This ranger messed up our game, and the back nine was abysmal. We couldn’t stop commiserating about it. It would be one thing if we were at fault or if I hadn’t informed him prior that we were delayed by an anomaly.

I have nothing but great things to say about the staff at the clubhouse, cart attendants and the starter from Jersey. The course is amazing. We mentioned this experience to the clubhouse staff and they were really apologetic, noting that we ended the round on the high end of pace despite the delay. This was just a really frustrating experience. I’ve played this course a dozen times and send a lot of people from out of town to play. I’m not sure that will continue after this experience.

Exciting course for the long hitters, good care for the fairways, surprisingly hilly. Greens are super fast and well taken care of. Great way to start the 2024.

Very nice condition and greens in excellent shape, staff friendly, played after 2pm so reasonable green fee $105 for a three ball. Definitely go back!
