This course's fairways are lined with homes. The terrain is predominantly flat, so it is easy to walk. The greens are large, and every hole is well bunkered. Water hazards (ponds) come into play on three holes. This is an excellent course to work on your short game. Ladies tee off from the same set as the men.

They welcome kids!!! :-), Jul 24, 2010

reviewer: Momma Garcia from Tacoma, WA

After my 6-y-o was flat-out turned away at Allenmore, I went back to Highlands, where he had been welcomed even two years before. I am so grateful to Highlands for being a starting place for kids; everyone has to learn somewhere. They even have free time for kids on Saturday mornings! Without courses like theirs, where are the next generation of Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam going to get their start?! Thanks again!

Great par-3 course, Jun 04, 2009

reviewer: Jim from Enumclaw

This course is a great little short (par 3) nine-hole golf course to play with your lady friend or wife. Very relaxing to work on your short approach

Sweet Little Golf Course, Feb 01, 2005

reviewer: Gretchen from Fairbanks, Alaska

I love Highlands. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and have been coming to Tacoma to visit for over 20 years. As a beginner of 2-3 years, I got my only (hope my 1st)hole-in-one on #6. It is perfect for working on your short game and a very relaxing and pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Butler Park Pitch & Putt Golf Course
"Location, location, location"
While certainly not a "nice" course, this is a playable little golf gem nestled in downtown Austin. Where else can you get in 9 holes during you lunch hour?

"New design poor, operation run poorly..."
The scenery is nice and price is about average for a public course, but here's a few pet peaves: - The course was redesigned a few years back to try to squeeze a few more stokes onto par by making it a par 69 from the original 66. The results were in my estimation, terrible. They basically redesignated two long par 4's into short par fives, combined to par 3's into a par 4, and added a 50 yard new par 3. - The proshop is run extremely unprofessionally by retirees and kids under 16. I've also witnessed the "owner" hanging around and acting like a yahoo. Let's put it this way, not your typically golf links proprietor! - The greens are colored during the summer with some bluish dye that gets all over your clothes, clubs, and ball. I suspect it covers up the burned out yellow spots on the greens. - Finally, I've never seen greens like the ones at this place. They are kept long and are, by far, the slowest I've ever encountered. I've literally seen playing partners skull a wedge from 60 yards and it doesn't even roll off the green. Weird.

"Tough Greens"
Sunnehanna is a remarkable course with difficulty arising from the thick rough and fast greens. It was a pleasure to walk this course.

Quail Ridge Golf Course
"Great Learning Course"
A very fair, playable course. Gives the novice an opportunity to try their skills without extreme risk. It also will challenge the low handicap golfer with it's terrain and hazard placement. The par 5's are scattered on the course so as to challenge you at the most critical times. Holes 8 through 12 will leave you feeling as though you've run a marathon only to have very delicate par 3's ahead.
