GOLF
An obvious first choice for golf will be the Highlands Reserve course itself.
Nestled in the hills among old citrus groves, burgeoning pine trees, and a nature preserve is the Highlands Reserve Golf Course. The scenic layout traverses over 120 feet of elevation change. Constructed in 1998, Highlands Reserve boasts large undulating greens that place a premium on shot making. As you make your way throughout the course you will encounter a combination of pine tree lined fairways reminiscent of North Carolina and open spaces that remind players of the land where golf was created.
Highlands Reserve is a par 72 championship golf course suitable for golfers of varying ability. The course was designed by Michael Dasher. Our villa is situated next to the 5th tee at the highest point on the whole course...with views to match.
There are hundreds of courses in the Central Florida area and the following table is designed to present a selection of some of the courses available. To visit the website of an individual course, click on the course logo where possible.
