The Highlands Golf Club is within an established, upscale retirement community in the Dove Mountain development north of Tucson, off I-10 at Tangerine.

The golf course is a desert-style layout that winds through the residential neighborhood, offering views of the Tortolita Mountains surrounding Tucson and downtown. The layout is interesting and challenging with modest elevation change and generous fairways on the front side, while the back gains in elevation, providing generally more character. The middle tees play to 6,088 yards, 68.7/129 course, and slope ratings, an Art Hill design.
