About The Highlands Golf Park
Highlands Golf Park is a nationally recognized golf practice facility and driving range that offers a comprehensive experience for golfers of all skill levels. The facility features a fully lit driving range with 44 grass and mat tee stations, practice putting greens, and pitching and chipping areas. It also includes sheltered and heated areas, bunkers, and uneven lie mounds for specialty shots, making it an ideal spot for practice. The quality teaching center boasts certified professional instructors who provide personalized golf instruction for both adults and juniors. Visitors have praised the friendly and polite staff, who are eager to share information about the facility. The driving range is noted for its excellent variety, including grass and covered mats, with plenty of targets on a flat terrain that is hard to find around Charlottesville. Many have highlighted the exceptional golf instruction received, particularly from the resident pro, who goes above and beyond to ensure students feel prepared and supported. Gretchen, one of the instructors, is highly recommended for her patience and ability to help students have those "light bulb moments." Additionally, the recently renovated mini-golf course, Pirate Pete's, offers a fun 18-hole experience for a casual outing. Highlands Golf Park also hosts fundraisers for local charities, adding to its welcoming atmosphere. Whether for practice or lessons, it is a great place to groove your swing and enjoy golf.
Such an amazing family friendly place! I did a lesson with Gretchen who was phenomenal! I also took my daughter (3) to try and see if she likes golf. The set up they have is fantastic and they had clubs for her to hit which was so wonderful. This is a fantastic place where practice is fun. Everyone is so friendly and ready to help cannot recommend enough!
Highly recommend Gretchen as an instructor. She provides my teenage son private lessons, and he has flourished under her instruction. She is incredibly patient, and knows how to instruct for those light bulb moments. We will continue with lessons, but for any Moms out there looking for a person to trust with your young golfer, Gretchen is the one.
My wife and I enjoy hitting at the driving range pretty regularly. Gretchen gives great lessons and is fun to work with. Her staff is friendly and helpful. Highlands also hosts fundraisers for local charities.
