This was our second trip to the Highlands of Elgin this year, if I had filled out this survey after my first round it would not have gotten such a high rank from me. Which would not be fair as I was the one who stunk, not the golf course. Some of the holes reminded me of a few courses that I have played in Northern Michigan and in South Carolina, the big difference is it is in my proverbial back yard, yes! Less than an hours drive, which for me on a Sunday isn't all bad. I am already looking forward to our playing there again next year.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level, Expensive and worth it

This was my second time playing this course, if I had attempted to rank it after my first round, it would not have been a glowing review, but that's not the courses fault, it was mine. The round that I played this last Sunday was a better experience. I thought that the course played very fairly, you put it in the fairway and the possibilities are endless, except for that damned wind. The club house has wonderful food, the mini chicken tacos are awesome, not to mention they carry a great variety of micro brewed beer, all good by me.
