Highland Country Club





About this course
Highland Country Club is a timeless testament to traditional southern golf, tracing its roots back to the pre-war era in the gentle rolling hills of LaGrange, Georgia. Designed by the esteemed Donald Ross, Highland epitomizes classic parkland golf. The course meanders through mature hardwoods and pines, demanding strategic shot-making rather than sheer power. Modest in length by today's standards, the emphasis is on precise iron play and deft touch around the subtly contoured greens. While it may not be nationally known, Highland has been a beloved fixture of the LaGrange community for generations. While no major championships are held here, the club is the annual host to the Charlie Lewis Senior Four-Ball Invitational tournament, known for attracting the best amateur players in the state of Georgia. The club fosters an environment of friendly competition, where members relish in the shared experience of the course, the clubhouse, and the Highland tradition.
