Highland Park Golf Course
About Highland Park Golf Course
Highland Park is an 18-hole public course in Birmingham, playing to a par of 70 at just over 5,800 yards from the back tees. The layout is short by modern standards, with narrow, rolling fairways, elevation changes on every hole and a hazard or two along the way, placing a premium on the short game.
The course suits a wide range of abilities, offering an approachable test for newer players while still presenting challenges for stronger golfers. Its setting adds to the appeal, with views across the city and the historic homes of the surrounding neighborhood.
Conditioning includes manicured tees and fairways and bentgrass greens that run fast and true.
