Overall Review of The Highlands at Dove Mountain

common 23 reviews mention this

Dining and food quality varies

Food quality is often a highlight, but some meals and service experiences fall short.

Many reviewers describe consistently good restaurant meals, including weekly dining and specific favorites like a Cobb salad, a burger, and a breakfast event. Others praise a banquet dinner and desserts, and several mention outdoor dining with views. At the same time, a handful of reviews criticize meal disappointments—cold and overcooked food, long delays, and an inconsistent au jus experience—along with concerns about restaurant management responsiveness.

common 18 reviews mention this

Friendly staff shows up often

Residents and guests repeatedly describe the staff as friendly and helpful.

Across reviews, people frequently call out staff who are fantastic, wonderful, or helpful—whether in the restaurant, bar, or pro-shop. Multiple comments tie the experience to specific staff interactions, including someone going out of their way and servers providing great service. There are also a couple of negative dining reviews that mention rudeness, lack of greeting, and poor management handling when issues came up.

Views and course atmosphere stand out

Reviews consistently emphasize the scenery and golf-course setting.

Several reviewers highlight “amazing” or “stunning” views and describe the property as beautiful. Many connect the best moments to the golf course itself—greens, turf quality, and overall course condition—plus the way the restaurant or patio looks out over the area. A smaller number of reviews mention location-related details like the gate being hard to find or the surrounding experience not matching expectations, but the scenery theme stays strong overall.

common 3 reviews mention this

Active 55+ community feel

Reviewers commonly describe a comfortable 55+ community with a laid-back fit.

A few reviews explicitly frame the setting as a 55+ community and describe the size as “just right.” One review also mentions activities for different tastes in a senior-friendly environment. Most other reviews focus on golf and dining, so the active-adult positioning shows up more lightly than the food and views themes.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Occasional dining and service breakdowns

Some reviewers report problems with wait times, food temperature, or management response.

While many describe smooth service, there are recurring complaints in a smaller set of reviews. These include long waits for food with cold, overcooked meals, concerns about a lack of leadership during dining problems, and disappointment with how certain food components were prepared. One review also describes being ignored at the bar and leaving after poor interactions.
