Forest Highlands Meadow Course

Located in the cool pines of Flagstaff, Arizona, Forest Highlands Meadow Course offers an 18-hole private layout that blends a parkland style with sweeping open meadows and pockets of towering ponderosa pines. This course provides a serene alternative to its sister Canyon Course, emphasizing wider fairways and a more forgiving routing, without sacrificing challenge. The Meadow’s greens stand out as a distinctive element - notoriously smooth and fast - demanding precision on approach shots and deft touch with the putter.

As you navigate the course, the natural contours of the terrain come alive. Elevation changes are subtle but meaningful, crafting a rhythm that invites strategic decision-making rather than brute force. The finishing holes, particularly the uphill ninth and eighteenth, elevate the drama with their testing elevations and well-guarded greens. These final stretches focus on shot placement and course management, offering a fitting conclusion to a round where patience often proves rewarded.

Set against the backdrop of Northern Arizona’s unique landscape, the Meadow Course’s setting combines open grassy stretches with mature trees, allowing sunlight to play across the fairways while occasional breezes test your swing tempo. While the layout favors intermediate and advanced players who appreciate shot variety, the generous fairways ensure the course remains accessible to a broad range of handicaps.

Forest Highlands is a private club, preserving a quiet, exclusive atmosphere that enhances the golfing experience. Both the Meadow and Canyon clubhouse facilities provide comfortable spaces to relax before or after a round, with quality dining options that reflect a thoughtful approach to hospitality.

For visitors planning a round, walking is encouraged to fully engage with the course’s subtle elevation shifts and the natural surroundings. Proper footwear is advised to handle the pine needle-strewn fairways and firm putting surfaces. Flying your own ball into the brisk Flagstaff breeze requires focus, but rewards with stunning views and memorable golf moments. This course remains a refined choice for players seeking an elevated, yet approachable test within Arizona’s high country.
