  We visited Highland Park Golf Course on Saturday for lunch and chose to sit outside since the indoor area is very small. Unfortunately, the outdoor experience was disappointing. The music being played at the cart barn was extremely loud — Metallica blasting across the patio and even the first tee. My husband went into the golf shop to politely ask if it could be turned down. The employee walked to the cart barn, told them to change it, then looked up at us and laughed while talking to the staff, bear in mind we could hear what he was saying. They switched the music but left the volume just as loud. Having worked in the golf industry years ago, this type of behavior and noise level would never have been acceptable. It showed a lack of respect for guests and for golfers preparing to tee off. The setting is beautiful, but the atmosphere created by the staff made the experience far less enjoyable than it should have been.

  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.

  Recently planned a golf tournament at Highland Park with the help of Cameron Tomberlin and Cameron Baubach, and they were absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. On the day of the event, they handled everything seamlessly and made sure everything ran smoothly, from arriving early on a (VERY) cold morning to set up the course to coordinating food orders, overall ensuring the day went perfectly. They also helped manage our shirt orders and truly went above and beyond in every aspect. If you’re planning a golf tournament, I highly recommend working with this Highland Park team!

  Our fraternity (Pi Kappa Phi Samford University) holds its annual Alumni / Active golf tournament at Highland Park Golf. This year’s March 21 tournament was awesome once again! The weather was perfect, the course was in great condition, and the service is always incredible. We have been dealing with Cameron Tomberlin for many years, and he always makes things easy! I would highly recommend both Cameron and Highland Park, and you can bet that we will be there again next year!!

  This was my first time at Highland Park. Im in my early 50s and a pretty chill dude playing with 2 buddies and we are average golfers. We went 82, 84 me, and 89. Pretty average day for our group. Very nice facilities and some fantastic scenery! The course is in great condition and very well taken care of. As someone previously mentioned there are definitely some 'gems' out there. Overall very tight and challenging but I dig it. If your spread is more than 30 yards on your driver you best hit 3 wood and keep it in the fairway! This is a shorter course than average but the tight fairways and sloping greens more than make up for it. The parking is challenging but they had a nice dude giving you rides up the hill, very cool I thought. The staff...Golf shop guys, cool and informative, nice dudes. Bartender, helpful with whatever you want, knows his stuff, nice dude. Starters, talked with 2 of them, shift change...both were very informative and talkative. Explained the course, took the time to stop and talk although the place was packed! Cart girls, had 2, shift change. Both very talkative and nice girls. And they both made great drinks! Marshall, now he was cool the first several times we talked with him on the first 8 holes...I get it, we are packed in here like sardines and its his job to keep everyone moving for a 4 hour round....but he tells us on the 9th hole we are the slow group...WTHeck are you talking about dude. We have 3 since 1 didn't show, we are the fastest group out here. We tell him we waited for the group ahead of us to hit there second to the green and then we hit once both carts went by the the driving range. If you don't know 9 is a blind tee shot as you can't see the group in front of you over the hill. We were NOT happy and let him know it...as we waited on 10 for over 15 minutes to tee off he came back and said he was wrong as we talked to him again. Still this should have never happened! This definitely changed my opinion of the place, which is unfortunate. You got a job but it's never the 3 some dude... Also, be ready to get your steps in as others have said. Cart path only! Lots of walking. Which is a healthy thing and keeps this course very well maintained. For the money...over 120 for greens and range balls...I think its a bit high. Although you are in the heart of Birmingham... Just know this place is packed. You will wait on every shot except your putts. We still played in 4 hours 15 minutes. My group likes to play fast since we are old farts and get stiff if we stop!
