Overall Review of The Highlands at Meadowlands

common 22 reviews mention this

Course condition is a mixed bag

Many visitors say the course is well kept, while others report greens or fairways in poor shape.

Several reviews describe the course as in great condition, with well-maintained greens and fairways, and note it feels “well taken care of.” Other reviews directly criticize maintenance, including greens that are not recently cut, dead grass, and areas needing major TLC. A few comments also mention specific play-condition issues like slow conditions when it’s wet or parts under repair.

common 19 reviews mention this

Staff friendliness stands out

Reviews repeatedly mention staff being friendly or helpful, even though some visitors had problems with rude service.

On the positive side, residents describe staff as courteous, helpful, and focused on making events run smoothly, including tournament support and setup/tear-down help. There are also comments praising friendliness at the pro shop and snack bar. On the downside, a handful of reviews call out rude or unwelcoming interactions and say customer service was lacking.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Pricing feels high for some

A number of reviewers say the fees are pricey for the experience they received.

Some visitors describe the course as “pricey” or charging too much, including comparing the value to what they feel it should cost. Others mention weekday or after-hours pricing concerns. A few reviews counter that the pricing can be fair or good for a nice course, so the cost feedback isn’t unanimous.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Pace and staffing can slip

Some reviews complain about slow play and a lack of on-course help to keep things moving.

A few reviews mention extremely slow play and say there was no ranger or that the pace fell behind enough to end the round early. Others describe situations that likely contribute to delays, like overcrowding on holes or disruptions from construction and conditions. Not every review talks about pace, but the negative comments show up enough to be noticeable.

caveat

Dining and care features aren’t reviewed

The provided amenities and care details are not reflected in the written reviews.

The listing information includes housekeeping, telephone, and Wi‑Fi access, plus care services like dressing assistance, meal preparation and service, and medication management. It also specifies dining support for diabetes and special dietary restrictions. However, the reviews focus on the golf-course experience rather than these senior-living services, so there’s little direct reader feedback tying those features to day-to-day support.
