Designed by the renowned architect Donald Steel, this 18-hole championship course opened in 2006 and quickly garnered national and international acclaim.

Playing the Highland Course is an immersive journey through stunning landscapes. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making, with dramatic elevation changes, challenging carries over ravines, and greens that demand precision. The course is characterized by its wide fairways, fescue-lined bunkers, and spectacular views that stretch for miles across the Appalachian peaks. It's a walking course, though carts are available, and the experience is often enhanced by the serene quietude of the mountain environment. What truly sets Primland apart is its commitment to preserving the natural beauty of its surroundings. The course is maintained with an ecological sensitivity that allows golfers to feel truly connected to nature. Every hole offers a unique perspective and challenge, making it a memorable round for golfers of all skill levels, provided they appreciate a thoughtful and strategic approach to the game.
