The Highlands Golf Park Legacy

On May 23, 1997, the Scheuermann family’s longtime passion for the game of golf and it’s rich traditions produced a spectacular golf practice and learning center in Ruckersville, Virginia –  The Highlands Golf Park.  Owner and retired professional golf instructor, Anne Marie Scheuermann, dedicated the park to the memory of her Scottish father, Leslie W. Mercer, who was also a golf instructor and shared his love for the game with all people of all ages. Mercer pioneered the development of high school golf teams and was an early proponent of public links golf courses.

Anne Marie and her husband, Peter Scheuermann, created both a business and their family’s legacy for the future.  Anne Marie was instrumental in growing the business and encouraging others to find passion in the game of golf. In 2006 she was recognized for her contributions to women’s athletics and was Inducted into the Northeast Women’s Sports Hall of Fame.  In 1999, Peter and Anne Marie’s daughter Gretchen Sheuermann, an LPGA Class A Golf Instructor, joined the family business, Highlands Golf Park.  When her parents retired in 2007, Gretchen took over the reins and continues to run the Highlands Golf Park today. 

The Mercer-Scheuermann family has produced a legacy of golfers utilizing their strategically-formed training areas and methods combined with an atmosphere of fun and encouragement.  Gretchen Scheuermann and her staff continue that tradition to this day.

What They Say About Us


  • We love it here! There is a reason they have been in business for nearly 30 years! The miniature golf is a lot of fun. The have a great driving range, too! Gretchen is an awesome instructor! She has given both me and my kids lessons!

  • This is a fun place that is easy on the wallet. We went for mini golf and it was such a fun course! Our Grand kids had a fantastic time.

  • I had a great experience with the Ladies Golf School with Gretchen! The Highlands Golf Park is a great place to practice and make new friends! 😁

  • Gretchen is an excellent golf instructor. She is patient and always open to questions. This facility is especially appreciated during rainy and cold days, as they have cover and you can pay for the use of their heaters in the driving range bays.

  • We had a wonderful time here tonight! We played on the Pirate Pete's mini golf course. It has recently been updated and the new green is so nice!

  • I get golf lessons at highlands and Gretchen has helped me become a much better golfer. She has nice facilities and indoor and outdoor mats, as well as grass hitting areas (in the spring and summer). The newly renovated putt putt course is amazing. I would highly recommend.

  • Gretchen went miles “above and beyond” to ensure I was equipped to do well on my next golf outing, not just with knowledge and technique, but she even offered to lend some clubs.

  • My entire family had a blast playing Pirate Pete's Mini Golf.  We will definitely be back!

  • The range was awesome; grass, mats (with cover) and mats without. They also have a chipping/bunker area. Probably one of the better ranges I’ve found yet, way better than a top golf in my opinion! Thanks for a great experience!

  • Well maintained facility with everything you need to keep your game sharp. Staff is very friendly too!!

  • Great find! Range has plenty of targets — and is flat which is hard to find around Charlottesville. 10 out of 10. Great place to groove your swing!
