The heavy rain that fell in June has postponed the 2023 season opening of the Highlands. So, it could be said that the Wards are keeping the Highlands aces in the family. Randall Ward did it on the 220-yard second hole, which is a par 4. Connor Ward got his ace on the “Apple Tree Hole” which is No. The greens on the Blue course are typically excellent and fast. Greats like Palmer, Nicholas, & Tony Lema played there. View our events calendar below for upcoming leagues, golf and social events happening in Cleveland at Highland Park Golf Course.
It was the first course to offer 6 figure prize to the winner of a PGA event.
The Blue course hosted the Cleveland Open in 1964 & '65. Twice there have been holes-in-one recorded at the course, both by Wards. Highland Park Golf Course is steeped in history. Seven of the nine holes are par 3s, while two are relatively short for par 4s. In the heart of downtown Birmingham, Highland Park is the oldest. Twice in the nine, there are greens used for two holes. The nine holes at the Highlands are not totally separate. Scott Ward, who has owned the property for seven years, is so happy with the tract that he said, “This is truly a hobby golf course.” It is just a piece of the farm owned since 1940 by the family of Erwin “Poppa” Ward and his son, Scott, who smiles when he tells you that he is the course “superintendent.” That, however, is where the comparison ends because Highlands is not a business.
