Highland Park Golf Course

The Highland Park Golf Course is a fun course to play. It is just 5800 yards from the tips, but is still a good challenge. The greens are bent grass and putts roll very well. The entire course is cart path only and as a result the fairways are usually in great shape. The course has many elevation changes so walking would be a good workout.
Highland Park is in an area just south of downtown Birmingham called Southside. It is an established neighborhood that has old city charm. The location along with the layout contributes to the course’s unique character.
The front nine is longer than the back. Holes #4 through #7 are the hardest stretch. Hole #4 is a narrow par 4, #5 is a downhill par 3 over a small pond, and #6 and #7 play along a drainage wash. Number #16 is the most scenic hole. It is a par 4 that plays uphill. There is a lovely view of the Birmingham skyline from this green.

I personally like Highland Park. Its short and easy. It has nice greens and the course is pretty well kept. The holes are super short. (Some par 4’s you can hit in 1) Its reasonably priced. Be sure to call and make sure their is not a tournament before you go.

I cannot believe that there would be negative reviews about this Highland! This is my favorite golf course in the city and, by far, the best value. When I lived out of Birmingham, I always played here because of the great location and great greens. 100% recommend!
