Highland Oaks

904 ROYAL PARKWAY DOTHAN, AL 36301

At Highland Oaks, you will find three championship nine hole courses and a nine hole par - 3. Ranked in the top 10 of Golf Digest's best new public courses in 1994, and boasts its 701 yard par 5. The Marshwood Course is built around wetlands... the Highlands Course has rolling terrain; and the Magnolia Course features dense forest. Highland Oaks has the honor of being host to the NIKE Tour Championship for 1999.

Highlands, the core nine, is relatively open, with several lakes in play. The peninsula green at the par-3 sixth has an elusive, beckoning quality.

Marshwood has been made famous (or notorious) by its behemoth par-5 sixth, which stretches to 701 yards from the tips. The 422-yard par-4 ninth, a left to right dogleg, is arguably the best hole at the site and has a tilted green elevated above a swathe of wetlands.

The Magnolia nine is well-named: Specimen magnolia trees dot the higher ground, which is reached via a 1,000 foot long wooden bridge spanning a marsh filled with lichen-dappled trees. The feature hole is the 416-yard fifth, where a split-level fairway offers an option off the tee.
