With me being local, I have never stayed overnight at HBH (although I'd like to some day). That being said, I never feel like I'm missing out on the Highbridge Experience. There is nothing there at all but beautiful courses, gorgeous views and nature. It feels like you're in another world, seperate from the frustrations of life. I like the lack of anything else because it adds to the charm.
Conditions wise, the late snows and ground freezes the area tends to get should keep most of the grass from even starting to grow till about mid May, so the courses should be in great shape. John has been really keeping up with the mowing the past few years though anyways. There will be lots of mud though in lower spots (ex. Blueberry hole 7), so thats one thing to keep in mind. Bugs will be hit or miss around that time, but if they're a hit, you better have some spray cause the skeeters are a b**** in spring.
Oh and if you're staying in Ashland, I would recommend eating at either the Deepwater Grille (best whitefish sandwich ever), or the mexican place El Dorado.
