Highland National Golf Course

About Highland National Golf Course

This municipal gem sits in one of St. Paul's most established neighborhoods, offering a surprisingly solid golf experience just minutes from downtown. The course winds through mature Highland Park terrain with enough elevation change to keep things interesting, while the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy over distance. What sets Highland apart from typical munis is its old-school routing that feels more like a private club layout, holes don't run parallel to each other, and you're rarely aware of other fairways during your round. The real appeal here is the combination of walkable design and genuine character that's increasingly rare in metro golf. At 4.4 stars from nearly 400 Google reviews, it's clearly striking a chord with locals who appreciate authentic neighborhood golf without the pretense. The conditioning won't win awards, but it's consistently playable, and the green fees represent excellent value for golfers who prioritize character and convenience over pristine conditions. Highland rewards course management and shot-making skills rather than punishing higher handicaps, making it an ideal choice for a relaxed weekend round.
