Highlands Reserve Golf Course has a new bar and range cover near Davenport

Where it is. On Highlands Reserve Boulevard in Davenport.

The golf course off Highlands Reserve Boulevard has completed a new bar and driving-range cover and licensed a food-service kitchen.

At 500 Highlands Reserve Blvd in Davenport, the Highlands Reserve Golf Course has built a new bar and a cover over its driving range. Polk County records show the bar permit closed with a certificate of occupancy and the range-cover permit closed with its certificate of completion, so both structures are finished.

A state plan-review application for a food-service kitchen at the same address β€” filed as "Highlands Golf - Cabanas" β€” was approved with provisos, and a restaurant license for 135 seats was issued in October 2026. A golf-course beverage license application was also accepted by the county.

An earlier combined permit for the range cover and bar was denied, after which the project was split into two separate permits that both went through to completion.

What happens next

The bar and range cover are built and the kitchen is licensed to operate, so the work on record here is finished.
