The Round
The Journey at Highland Falls Golf Club
I.
The Opening
A 514-yard par 5 gets Highland Falls under way, followed by the 349-yard 2nd, rated No. 17, and the 159-yard 3rd. The front nine's teeth come next: the 433-yard 4th is the No. 1 handicap, the 358-yard 5th is No. 5 and the 419-yard 6th is No. 3. The club describes the front as rolling hills, at more than 3,000 feet, with views of the Strip.
II.
The Middle
The 531-yard 7th and the 161-yard 8th lead to the 318-yard 9th, closing a front nine of 3,242 yards at par 36. The back starts softly with the 319-yard 10th, the No. 18 handicap, then turns serious: the 544-yard 11th is No. 2 and the 363-yard 12th is No. 4. The club says the hills grow steeper on the back nine and that risk-reward shots are plentiful there.
III.
The Finish
The 200-yard 14th is the hole the club singles out for its panoramic view of Las Vegas, a scene used in national ad campaigns. Around it, the 13th and 15th are par 4s of 351 and 342 yards, the 534-yard 16th is the last par 5, the 17th is a 159-yard par 3, and the 350-yard 18th closes a back nine of 3,162 yards.
How to Play It
Highland Falls Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
The club's tee table lists seven options down to Purple. The front-nine par 3s, 159 and 161 yards from the back, are fair targets from any set, and the 10th, the No. 18 handicap at 319 yards, is a good place to settle in before the steeper back nine. The 200-yard 14th is the longest par 3, so a forward tee pays off most there.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The card hides its difficulty in four holes: the 4th, 6th, 11th and 12th are four of the five hardest. Treat the 433-yard 4th as a bogey-avoidance hole. The back nine is where the club says risk-reward options are plentiful, so pick them selectively; the 319-yard 10th, the shortest par 4 on the back, is the obvious one to try.
Advanced / Low Handicap
From the Blue tees (69.7/130) the scoring is in four par 5s between 514 and 544 yards, though the 11th rates No. 2 on the card, a sign it is no simple birdie. The hard par 4s, the 4th and 6th at 433 and 419 yards, carry the round's real risk. The club's note that the back nine's hills grow steeper means more uneven lies coming in.
