18 hole course set in large park. Course has its own generously spacious area so no interference with other park activities. It contains a balanced mix of moderate park style- grassy with some large trees, to denser technical woods, and to the other extreme of wide open field bomber holes. I liked how it moved across the 3 different styles multiple times throughout the round (1-2 park, 3-7 woods, 8-10 open, 11-12 park, 13 open, 14-15 park, 16 open, 17-18 woods.)

There is a very wide range of length here (215'-850') and everything in between. Add to that a bit of elevation and there is lots of diversity and challenge. There are many fun shots here with a couple ace runs, and a couple chances to really air it out. There were many holes were I felt like a 3 or 4 would be a well-earned good score. I also noticed a 2nd pin location in the works on most holes.

Most tees were either concrete or brick, with 1 natural tee, but it would not surprise me to see all 18 with concrete very soon. Baskets were nice 2-tone red/blue DD Veterans. Also they had the best Next Tee arrows (from DD) as they snapped perfectly in the bottom.

The grass was short and mowed (and there is lots of it to mow, so props to the park mowing crew!) Though new, the woods fairways look seasoned already and were covered in wood chips- a nice touch.

This course has quickly grown to 18 holes (from 9, and even 6 I believe), and seems to get played a lot already, which is great. Looks like there is great local support here to go along with a pretty nice course.

The stretch of 8-10 is really open and flat, lacking any real obstacles (other than length and easy to avoid O.B.) Especially when you factor in that 13 and 16, which are better because of the elevation, are pretty wide open also.

*I played without a course map or tee signs, but the only major navigation issue for me was playing hole 12. I played my 2nd shot to #15 basket on accident as it is straight ahead in your view once you come out of the tree tunnel. Other trickier tees to find without a map were 3, 11, 13, 17 (but there is map on DGCR now). I am sure a kiosk is probably coming soon also.

This course is off to a great start. I will definitely play here again. Probably best suited for intermediate players, but there is enough to challenge advanced players, while at the same time being accessible and not too punishing to newer players.

The Highlands Course is located in the very back of J. Travis Price Park along the one-way road. It is a nice large park which also has all the usual features of a town park (walking trail, playground, fishing lake, ball fields, etc.)
