With the success of Dennis Pines and the rising demand for more golf facilities in town, Dennis Highlands was added in 1984.
This course is very different from its elder sibling. Michael Hurdzan and Jack Kidwell, designers of the Highlands, came up with a course that is more wide open than Dennis Pines and about 500 yards shorter from the tips.
Hurdzan made up for the lack of distance by endowing the Highlands with some extremely tricky greens. Most greens are elevated—with subtle breaks and multiple tiers. Perhaps the most treacherous green on the course is the three-tiered seventh.
