A few weeks back I played a twilight round at Highland National in St. Paul for a grand total of $20. My friend and I managed to get in 18 holes just as darkness fell on the course with the Snoopy bunker.

I haven’t played the course in a few years, but overall, I still feel the changes that were made by Paul Miller and Garrett Gill in the big re-design were a success. Not everyone agrees, but the course was pretty full for a weekday afternoon. The starter said rounds played this spring are up and they are happy with the design.

A little follow-up work is in progress: the putting green was re-built and the first and tenth tees have been modified slightly. I also heard that someone dumped a few goldfish in one of the new drainage ponds and now they are everywhere.
