The Highlands course at Aberdeen Country Club in Longs, South Carolina, was designed by Tom Jackson and serves as one of two championship layouts at this residential golf community in the Myrtle Beach area. Jackson, who has designed numerous courses throughout the Carolinas, routed the Highlands across gently rolling terrain characteristic of South Carolina's coastal plain, incorporating natural wetlands and mature pine corridors into the playing corridors. The course takes its name from the slightly elevated topography compared to the club's companion Woodlands layout. The design features generous fairways bordered by native vegetation and strategic bunkering that rewards accurate approach play. Water hazards appear on several holes, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of the property, while the green complexes offer varied undulation that tests short game precision. The layout accommodates multiple tee boxes to provide appropriate challenge across different skill levels. Aberdeen Country Club operates as a semi-private facility, making the Highlands course accessible to both members and daily-fee players visiting the Grand Strand golf market. The club provides traditional amenities including practice facilities and dining options that serve the residential community and visiting golfers. The course benefits from the region's mild climate, which allows for year-round play, and represents a more affordable alternative to some of the area's resort courses while maintaining competitive playing conditions within the competitive Myrtle Beach golf landscape.
