The Highlands Golf Course

Play a stand-out Florida course with today’s feature: $19 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at The Highlands Golf Course in Sarasota ($59 Value. Includes Tax. Good Any Day, Any Time until December 20, 2017!)

The Gulf side of the Sunshine State is home to some of the country’s best golf courses, and today’s feature course, The Highlands Golf Course in Sarasota, is truly no exception. Masterfully laid out on a gorgeous piece of Florida countryside, this 18-hole challenge presents a playing experience like no other in the area – and one that you won’t want to miss.

Previously one of the area’s most exclusive private courses, and now open to limited public play for the first time, The Highlands Golf Course spells challenge for every skill level of golfer. An old-Florida-style test that incorporates the area’s natural mature oaks and massive pines into its 18-hole layout, the tree-lined fairways and generous greens reward accuracy off of the tee and precise patience with your putter. Playing almost 6,700 yards from the back set of tees (of which there are six) and carrying a course/slope rating of 72.6/128, this masterpiece of Florida golf should be experienced by all.

If you’re carrying a low score as you make your way into the final stretch, be sure to take a deep breath and special care before teeing off on 18 – one of the course’s signature holes. Playing just over 400 yards from the back set of tees with daunting bunkers populating the landing area on both sides, two accurate shots are required to hit the green in regulation – but the challenges don’t end there. The green here, like all of the putting surfaces on The Highlands, is undulated and smooth-rolling, meaning speed is a factor on just about every putt you hit. Walk away with par or better here, and you’ve ended your round with quite an accomplishment.

Before finishing your day of fun at The Highlands, be sure to stop into the clubhouse restaurant, The Centre Court Lounge, for a bite to eat before you hit the road. With a full bar selection and a world-famous pizza night, it’s the perfect 19th hole destination to celebrate your scores.

Designed by legendary course architect Arthur Hills, a visit to The Highlands is a must for any serious golfer living in or visiting Florida. Why wait and risk this feature selling out? Reserve your round now!
