Highland Lake Golf Course
Play a Hoosier State stunner with today’s feature: $15 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Highland Lake Golf Course in Richmond ($39 Value. Good Any Time until June 1, 2018!)
Since opening in 1972, few golf courses have garnered the type of positive reputation and constant praise like today’s feature course: Highland Lakes. Thanks to the incredible and interesting John Budzale design which incorporates all of the stunning natural features of the gorgeous Wayne County countryside into its layout, golfers from throughout the midwest come back year after year to take this course on, longing to walk away with the rare low score on the day.
The first thing you’ll notice when you begin your round at Highland is just how lengthy the course plays from the back tees. Almost 7,000 yards of golf course separates the first tee from the final green, which means that a strong performance with your driver and well-handled woods and long irons are an essential part of shooting a low score. As you could have guessed by the course’s name, water does come into play throughout your round, but not nearly as often as the tall mature trees and green-protecting sand bunkers you’ll find littered throughout the layout. Do your best to avoid these potential score-inflators, but don’t be afraid to let the big dog eat off of the tee, especially on the lengthy par-5s – you’ll need to do everything you can to make up some distance as you go.
Unlike many municipal golf courses that offer little more than a golf course and a counter in a room known as a “pro shop,” Highland Lake Golf Course offers up a full compliment of amenities that will enrich and lengthen your day of fun. Let’s start with the clubhouse: featuring a full compliment of equipment, apparel, and accessories from the biggest names in golf, the Highland Lake pro shop is a must-visit if you’re looking to upgrade your game. Speaking of upgrading, Highland’s full-service practice facility including a driving range, short game area, and putting green is the perfect place to work on perfecting your game before teeing off on #1. If you’re looking for the perfect way to bring your round of fun to a close, the snack bar offers up the best 19th hole destination around. Complete with a full complement of cold drinks and delicious snacks, the snack bar makes ending your day in style easy as can be.
