FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Highlands private or open to the public?
The Highlands is a public facility and is open/available to everyone.
Do I need to make a reservation to play?
No, you can just show up and practice and/or play the miniature golf. If you want to come with a big group, we do require a reservation for a group outing.
Is there a dress code?
We do not have a dress code – but, shirts & shoes are required.
Do I have to have my own golf clubs?
No, we have numerous clubs available to use. There is a small rental fee for any adult clubs – and, clubs for children (age 12 & under) are free to use.
Why are there different prices for buckets on the Mats and Grass?
When you buy a bucket for the mats, you can hit from the artificial carpet squares that already have a rubber tee. In order to maintain our high quality grass sections, we charge extra to hit from the grass tee area ($1 more per token) – this covers the costs for irrigation and maintenance (mowing, filling divots, fertilizing, seeding). With the purchase of a grass bucket, you can also use more practice areas – including the greenside bunker, fairway bunker, uneven lie mounds and pitching area.
How late is the miniature golf course open?
Pirate Pete’s mini golf is open during the same hours as the Highlands golf range. Please refer to hours listed on the website.
Do you have night lights on the golf range?
Yes. When the seasons change and it starts to get dark earlier, we have high voltage lights for the driving range and miniature golf course.
Do you offer any discounts?
We have a variety of different discounts. We honor coupons that are in various magazines and coupon books. We have a family of 4 or more package rate for the miniature golf and children 2 yrs. and under can play for free (with a paying adult). In addition, we sell range cards that can be purchased for different prices that offer substantial savings for use on the driving range and/or miniature golf.

What are the Range Cards?
The Range Cards are offered as a type of special discount (sort of a membership program or family pass). The cards can be purchased for different prices and then we add more value to the card.
