Highlands Reserve Golf Club in Davenport, Florida, is a public 18-hole championship course that stands out from typical Central Florida layouts thanks to its setting on the Green Swamp Ridge, where elevation changes of about 120 feet create rolling, surprisingly varied terrain just minutes from Disney World. Designed by Mike Dasher and opened in 1998, the par-72 course stretches roughly 6,650–6,700 yards from the back tees and mixes pine-lined fairways that evoke the Carolinas, more open links-style holes, and flashes of old Florida citrus country, with natural waste areas, strategic bunkering, and large, undulating Diamond Zoysia greens added in a 2022 redesign. Multiple tee sets keep it playable for a wide range of golfers, while the routing stays engaging with shorter opening par 4s, potential drivable holes, and back-to-back par 5s. Conveniently located between Orlando and Tampa, it is often praised as an affordable, well-conditioned “hidden gem,” with practice facilities, a pro shop and snack bar, outing capacity, and recognition as one of Golf Advisor’s Top 25 Most Improved Courses in the U.S.
