Highlands at Prestonwood Country Club

The Highlands course at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, North Carolina, was designed by Tom Jackson and Rick Robbins. Prestonwood is a multi-course facility in the Research Triangle area, and the Highlands represents one of the club's championship layouts. The course serves a membership drawn from the surrounding suburban communities in the Raleigh-Cary corridor, an area that has seen substantial growth over recent decades as the region's technology and research sectors have expanded.

The routing takes advantage of the rolling piedmont terrain characteristic of central North Carolina, with elevation changes that provide natural movement and variety throughout the round. Mature hardwoods and pines frame many holes, and water features come into play on several holes, typical of courses built in this region during the era of modern residential development. The design balances challenge for accomplished players with playability for the broader membership.

Prestonwood's facilities support an active membership with tournament play, social events, and family programming. The club maintains both golf courses along with tennis, swimming, and dining amenities that reflect the full-service country club model common in the area. The Highlands course contributes to the club's reputation as a significant golf destination within the Triangle's competitive private club landscape.
