This is a playable and enjoyable course and is the sister course of Dennis Pines. Dennis Highlands is a par 71, 6,500-yard championship golf course situated on 175 acres of pine and oak covered rolling ground on the north side of Dennis, in the village of Dennis. It was renovated in 2018 and first opened in 1984, Dennis Highlands is a Jack Kidwell and Mike Hurdzan design. There is an impressive, expansive practice range before you embark on a few rolling hills, open fairways, and straightforward greens. It's a traditional inland Cape Cod course lined with plenty of trees, offering a fair number of sand traps with straight forward greens, among them a few multi-tier challenges and various undulations, The food at the Highlands Restaurant is outstanding.

Went as a single mid afternoon looking to play 9. Staff barely looked up from his computer to curtly say nothing for over two hours and back to computer. I asked "That's it?" expecting alternative. "sorry, no"
As I was returning to my car I watched two singles in succession tee off back 9. Nice course, poor customer service. Won't be backHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Taylor B.Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY1544438Jul 4, 2021
Great golf course that definitely provides a challenge. Hilly enough to perfect your game and read the land - definitely recommend to hone your skills!

Absolutely my favorite course, down The Cape.
Plenty of parking, many times you can get on without a formal tee time. Wonderful staff, and the team that runs the pro shop are very knowledgeable and skilled; plus they have a lot of great stuff on the shelf at reasonable prices.
Best hole... # 6.
Good for a cart, also very good to walk nine. Very well kept... clean and, a New Englandy nice summer green. Just a lovely course to be on.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gerianne K.NY, NY03Sep 30, 2021
A perfect day! A little cool at first but the sun was shining brightly all day. The Course was beautiful and well maintained! Staff was extremely pleasant.

Just a suggestion, If you have just airated the greens, you might want to have the courtesy to let people know when they set their tee time. I appreciate the reduced rate, but operate under full disclosure

All my years of golfing, I've never walked off a course before. An hour and a half to play four holes is unacceptable on a Tuesday afternoon.
No ranger in site, pro shop told me no rain check and no refund... After driving all the way from Boston to enjoy a round of golf.... I won't be back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 25, 2010Updated review
Solid Course.....excellent value at $64 (walking).....will test every shot in the bag....too bad the range is only on mats......great 1/2 way house and decent club house (at least the service is EXCELLENT).........

From the blue tees its only 6,509, 72.2/133, but plays much tougher than that....however, while be tortured it is very enjoyable!

Played here this past weekend with a group for our annual Golf On The Cape Weekend.
The course is a bit challenging, but not overly difficult. The fairways and greens were very well maintained. All holes are tree lined but fear not. If your shot strays into the woods, there is a great chance you will find it as the woods are cleaned out of fallen leaves.
Make sure you practice your sand trap shots are there are traps all over the course. But the sand is fine and playable.
It's a par 72 course with no water on the front nine. The back nine starts off with a copley of nice par 4s that wrap around a small pond. You will see another hole or two with a little water. They dub it their version of Amen Corner.
The one complaint we had happened at the turn as we were is disallowed to stop at the club house for a few minutes after the front nine. The hot dog stand on 10 was not open yet, and with early morning tee times, we were famished. But the starter told us we were behind and could not stop. Yet when we got to the 10th tee, the group in front if us had just hit, and we ended up waiting close to 10 minutes before we could tee off. Other than that, everyone associated with the course were pleasant.
All in all, it falls short of being one of my favorite courses on The Cape, but it was enjoyable enough where I would return.
Oh, before I forget, as a group and part of a golfers package with our hotel, we paid $71 for 18 holes and a cart. But here's the best part. They will allow you to replay after your round of 18 for just the cart of the cart, if you ride. We did take advantage of this with another 9 holes for just the $13 cart fee.
The 19th hole was okay with sandwich offerings and beverages. The hot dogs were under-cooked, taken from a steamer. But the burgers were big and juicy. Unfortunately, I had the hot dog :(Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
