Highland Park Golf Course

This was the last course on my golf trip. This course is better than the other munis like Oak Mountain or Frank House, but not quite on the level of a Ballantrae, Timberline or Bent Brook. Course is very well maintained and in decent shape. The service and facilities were good though they are a little dated; especially the restrooms. My only real complaint is that the entire course is car path only and that just makes pace drag, especially if you end up behind a bad group like we did.

I was really excited to golf here, but the experience was unfortunately ruined by the starter (an older gentleman, around 6 feet tall) who was extremely rude and followed us around as if we were children, watching our every move. This all stemmed from us accidentally missing the sign indicating that play should start on hole 10—something he didn’t mention to us until after we had already begun. We had trouble with our cart and I asked if it may be because of the hill and he snapped saying “Absolutely not! It is due to the GPS” as if I said something outlandish. Overall, extremely rude and comp…

Nice little Golf Course, but you better be ready to walk them hills! It's Cartpath Only All the Time!!! Built on a hillside mostly so just get that in your head and be ready!!! Good luck in the Summertime!!!!!. Nice Birmingham Views

Played Highland Park yesterday and was really impressed with the overall conditions, everything was in great shape. If you play it from the tips, it starts to feel a lot more like a standard regulation course, even though it’s still on the shorter side. It makes you think a bit more and adds some challenge. The real highlight, though, is the bentgrass greens. They’re the star of the show… smooth, true, and just an absolute pleasure to putt on. Great experience overall and well worth a round.

Went to a golf tournament put on by Black market bar and grill. Everything was so clean and well managed. A very nice golf course with very friendly staff.

A fantastically fun layout with superb conditions in the heart of Birmingham. I can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a break from the tricked out and overpriced RTJ Trail. As good as those are, this is a golf course the way it's meant to be.

Highland Park Golf is a hidden treasure in the city of Birmingham! With only 5800 yds total, this course is designed for the beginner up to the scratch golfer with 3 separate tee boxes. The conditions are what you would expect at the finest of private country clubs and amenities abound! Come play a round and see for yourself how Birmingham's best kept secret is nestled right in the heart of the city!

This incredibly compact gem hidden on the northeast edge of downtown Bham is in perfect shape. But first, a petty complaint: zero carts allowed on fairways and they’re gps monitored to slow down to infant crawl speed if you go beyond 8-10ft off the cart path. I understand this helps play into a major component for why the fairways are in such immaculate shape and, with the heavy amount of players on this public course, the fairways would be in rough shape if they didn’t forbid fairway travel. But still!! 🤪. All of the staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. Nicole, the snack cart lady,…

Enjoyable course. Short, but tight in some places. I’ve played in cold weather as well as the heat of summer and the greens are well manicured. I’ve also played in rainy conditions and the course drains well. Very few sitting puddles. The workers are all friendly and helpful. Good range and putting/chipping greens for practice. I haven’t tried any food or beverages, but the drink cart is always making the rounds. Overall solid course!

Course is beautiful and well kept (besides the tee boxes). My issue is cart path only for almost $90, spent most of the day hiking up hills... it's less impressive that the course is so well kept being that no carts are allowed to touch the grass. Course is very narrow and everything is very close together, I've never heard so many 'fore's in my life - almost got hit at least 5 times. We got paired with another duo which was fine but everything felt extremely rushed and yet it still took nearly 4 hours to play 9 holes. Better off saving your money unless you're into walking the course.

The upside: very playable course that's shorter than most which offsets the CPO in my opinion. Course was well manicured and maintained given the beating it takes. Greens were pretty quick which can be good or bad. Didn't necessarily hold approach shots well. The downside: it definitely feels rushed. You're always sandwiched in between groups with marshals on patrol. Got hit into a few times. The biggest downside is the price $104. This is not a $100 course. You can drive a few minutes up or down the road and play an equal or better course for $60-80. Overall, not worth the cost. Won't come ba…

-Immaculate course conditions for a public course. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes were so-so, probably because the course is overbooked/overplayed -Way too expensive for a public course that is always cart path only and does not have a walking rate. $65 to walk a public course on a Friday at 3pm is absurd. -Way too packed. Again, I paid $65 to walk at 3pm only to be constantly sandwiched between what seemed to be an endless stream of twosomes. Would have been better if they increased the intervals between tee times and paired out groups. I stood there waiting on every sho…
