Located just minutes north of Athens and Commerce off I-85, Highland Walk offers 18 holes of great value golf. The course is built on steep rolling hills with broad, crowned Bermuda fairways leading to generous, sloping Bermuda greens. But don’t let the courses beauty fool you, Highland Walk is a challenging course that requires accurate shot making to score well.
