Sugar Isle Golf Course

Sugar Isle is a great course. This was my second time playing there and it was awesome both time. Staff was friendly and the course has a great layout for any level of golfer. If there was one thing that could be improved, it would be to get new carts...BUT there is a reason they don't have new carts and you'll see why that is when you go from the 14th to 15th hole. It's a good story and a conversation piece, trust me. You won't regret playing here. It is one of my new favorite courses!!

Course is in very good shape given the lack of rain. Greens are very challenging and were fast the day we played. It was busy, but to be expected given the beautiful weather. Would play again.

I’ve played here many times but it’s been many years since I’ve been back, but I went and played around with my son and had an incredible time in the golf. Course was in great condition and the greens were also cut and very well-maintained.

Sand traps were unplayable due to all the rocks.A ranger followed us for 10 holes.There was aVERY slow group in front of us but they must have been the regular good old boys because he never said anything to them even though he watched us having to wait forever to play.

For the most part I enjoyed our time. There was a ranger that followed us around the front 9 but we had to ask him to say something to the good old boys in front of us who were so slow. I said that I would never play out of the sand if I landed in one because they were full of rocks.

Had a great round of golf with some good friends. Staff was fantastic and the course played at a good pace. Never felt rushed to get to the next hole.

Have not had much rain in the area so greens are extremely fast. Might want to club down and land in front of green to roll onto green. If you land on the green you will be off the back.

We played on Sat morning -- the first tee time of the day. The nice thing -- we didn't have to wait behind others! However, playing that early in the day in April meant it was a tad chilly. The weather warmed up, however, and we played pretty quickly. Had a good round.

Drunk golfers in front of us makes for a long day!!

Seems like the course conditions are slowly getting better. I look forward to the continued attempt to bring this course back to the way it used to be years ago.

Horrible shape and pace of play. Horrible driving range and old golf carts. Now I see a hot deal for 50 bucks...that is criminal. Where have all the recent reviews gone. This place is the worst course in a 50 mile area. Even old abandoned courses would be a better deal.

I would not recommend this place as the staff here are not friendly at all or even understanding.

We went as a group of 5 people and booked two separate tee times with 2 of the 5 teeing off the first thing in the morning at 7:09 and the other group tee time at 7:18. As a group we watch each other at the green putting (Never had more than 3 people on the green at the same time). Once everyone was finished with the first hole, we continue to the second hole and the first group hits ahead of the second group as we are supposed to. By the time the first group finished and the second group got to the green, we would again watch them putt (again never had more than 3 people on the green).

As our last guy goes to putt his ball, the "course ranger" comes up and tells us we are done and to get off the course and he says that we are parked too close to the green and that it would be a warning; however, you guys are kicked off the golf course anyways so it doesn't matter. We asked why and he says "you guys are not supposed to play as 5 and have all 5 people on the green." We never had more than 3 on the green at a time. Then continues to yell at us and tells us to talk to the guy in the shop as he is the one that told the ranger to kick us off the course.

Anyone would be mad in this situation as we never received a warning, but soon to find out as we got to the shop the guy behind the counter said "I gave you guys your first warning when you first entered the shop" (in the shop? before we even teed off?) and then he said he gave another warning after our first group teed off and our second group began hitting as the first group was half way down the range. (Note: they wouldn't hit us as we all are beginners and none of us would be able to hit that far) The first warning pretty much indicates that we were already being targeted as soon as we walked through the door and the "second" warning is plausible but it wasn't indicated as a warning (you should literally say this is a warning if it was even a warning).

The way that we were playing to that point was not slowing anyone behind us down as “we” had two tee times and stayed within those tee times and if they thought that we were slowing them down it’s probably because we are beginners and take way more hits than people who have been playing the game for a while. Also, since the second group teed off maybe 3 mins after the first group teed off (~7:12), we were actually teeing sooner than our allotted time.

I understand kicking people off your course if they are not taking care of your course or destroying it, but we were not doing any of that. Also, as I mentioned we were the first tee off in the morning with no one ahead of us, if we were slowing people down then why not give us a warning and tell us to skip up a hole instead of kicking us out? This whole situation seems like we were targeted for no reason since we walked in the shop. The hostility took place as soon as we walked through the doors to pay for our game. And once again we are all new to golf (and new to the course), you could've just told us the rules so we can learn instead of kicking us out and pretty much robbing us.

TLDR: We paid about $200 for 5 people and it felt like we got targeted as soon as we walked in the door and after we played almost 2 full holes of 18 before we got kicked off the course with no warning.

Hadn't played this course since HS golf but I forgot how much I had loved the layout. We played the Blues and the course plays shorter than the yardage suggests in my opinion and it's very get-a-ble if you know where to place your shots if that makes sense. What makes this course so challenging are the putting greens. Lots of slopes and speed changes that are hard to judge. Would have to play quite a few rounds to get used to them. Course was in great condition except a few of the greens seemed to have little rough patches and feel bumpy but otherwise it was a great round and I will definitely be back this year!
