The
course located next to our villa, Highlands Reserve Golf Course
measures 6,673 yards and carries a course/slope rating of
72.1/118. The golds play 6,010 yards at 68.8/115, and the
jades play 4,875 yards at 67.4/107. The course was built by
Architect Michael Dasher in 1998 and several of his holes
are worthy of individual mention. To begin is number 2, a
downhill, 398-yard, dogleg left appropriately called "High
Point." From the tee, you can witness the huge increase
in the area's entire 120-foot elevation. Pull out the driver
and you might even experience a bit of altitude sickness,
as a nasty waste area to the left eagerly accepts any shots
short of centre on this right-to-left sloping fairway. Other
features of Highlands Reserve Golf Course include unrestricted
walking, a junior's program and several annual Amateur Playing
Tour and Senior Moonlight and Pro-am events. It does not,
however, offer an opulent clubhouse, grand entrance or private
membership.

Beaches
Daytona
Beach began as a place for speed. Between 1902 and 1935, no
less than 13 land auto racing records were set on Daytona's
23 miles of hard, flat beach, which is up to 500 feet wide
at some points. Today, beach drivers must observe a sedate
10-mile per hour speed limit, while the racing cars can be
seen inland at Daytona International Speedway. Hotels line
the shoreline along Daytona's 10 miles of beaches, giving
vacationers their own small slice of paradise.
