Saddle Creek Golf Club

My first time on this course & had a great round. Since this was my first time here, I was unfamiliar with the layout and the hazards and ended up losing a sleeve of new balls. Better hole diagrams on the score cards would be nice. Make sure you bring plenty of cash as the drinks are a little pricy. Loved the course though and I will be back.

Saddle Creek is a very good course and the staff is super nice. That is why I have no problem driving 40 minutes from spring hill to play there.

Dropped down from Nashville vacation to Lewisburg to play Saddle Creek mid-week in early June. We had had several days of rain, so the course had a bit of casual water, but less than I expected (judging from the ponds and streams, the water table is maybe 2 feet below ground). Drainage was good. Fairways and greens were in good shape, and once I got calibrated on the way the greens run, was able to play it well. Lot's of water hazards (not well marked) demand some judicious and well-placed shots. This was definitely a course I'll play again.

The old drive-in theater at the end of #10 was also a bit of Americana and gave me a moment to smile. This part of Middle Tennessee is beautiful.

If you're looking to have a round of country in your golf....this is the course.

Our foursome is fast so anytime we finish in four hours we should not complain. This course as well as most others should marshal speed of play because we got a two and half hour back nine back up. The course was is very good shape and the week long rain did not adversely effect this course.

The reason I chose Saddle Creek is that my son, who lives in Atlanta and I live in Louisville, is half way betweek the two cities. I had played the coure with some friends before, so it seemed to me that this wuld be a natural for our meeting place.

It seems that the new owners are more concerned with their restaurant rather than the course maintenance. The pin locations were always rotated and known to the golfer. Now they stick the holes wherever they want with no clue to the golfer. There is no ranger on the course. The course itself was always taken care of better than it is now. Luckily the rounds are cheap and the beer is cold otherwise this course would be closed. Time to hire some help and get his course back into the shape it was a year or two ago.

I never get tired of playing Saddle Creek. All round great golf course.

Course has a lot of water, but it was great. The only problem was finding the first tee.

Course is in good condition considering all the wet weather this year. The only negative is the speed of getting food at the turn and they rarely have a beverage cart on the weekends.

The course is in great shape. Number 1 green was in rough shape, but the other 17 holes were very nice. The course was wet from recent snow/rain we have had but the course held up nicely. The tee boxes were nice and even though wet the fairways were still able to get some run. As always, the staff is extremely friendly which is nice to start your round. Have drove down from Nashville several times to play this course and will continue, a hidden gem. Only downside is on some of the greens you do not know where the pin placement because you cant see the green. The have a sheet on scorecard, and it may just be during winter, but they were never the same numbers.

Great course. Great layout. Only problem we had this time was there was a group of 4 on the back nine holding 5 groups up. If you have a foursome as your group, you should almost always let a twosome play through.

This course has a great layout. Very challenging and keeps you planning your strategy for each shot. The owners of the course we're on the property the day I played and they are both awesome people wanting to make sure you enjoyed your day. I will definetly be back soon to play again.

everything spot on,very nice place. greens great,fairways great.

Greens very slow but otherwise fabulous condition!

Overall the course was in excellent condition...much better than in the past. Greens were quick and rolled true. Only criticism would be the trees in the middle of the fairway on 8, 9, 10 quite unusual and they present a challenge if you are unable to work the ball.

I really enjoyed playing this course. The fairways and greens were in good shape. There are a couple quirky holes such as 9 and 10, that will be difficult to play your first time there. Overall good golfing experience in the middle of no where!

First time playing this course.
Great value for money.
Included range balls and a breakfast meal.
Fairways great shape. Would've nicer if first cut of rough cut a little a little thinner.
Staff very friendly and kept course monitored to keep pace of play on a sold out day

Great value for the money. Greens in great shape. Tee boxes could use a little work.

Scheduled tee time was 11:57 AM. We arrived early and finished warming up by 11:10. We were informed we had been paired with another twosome. There were no other golfers on the course- about 40 minutes passed without anyone teeing off. We asked to go out early and were informed we would have to pay an additional fee to change the tee time. The guy condescendingly said it was like buying a discount airline ticket. So we sat there waiting for the other twosome to arrive at the empty tee until our tee time.

At #7, we started to get pushed by a twosome. We offered to let them play thru, but they declined. For the remainder of the round, our foursome was pushed by a twosome and single who played thru the twosome.

Had we been allowed to go out as a twosome, the other golfers behind us would have not caught us. The decision to make us play as a foursome when the course was nearly empty adversely affected our golf as well as the players behind us. It was clearly a way of discouraging players who took advantage of the reduced Golfnow rates. BTW, we finished our round in 3 hours 45 minutes.

So Golfnow players beware- don't expect to be treated like a full paying customer at this golf course. There are too many other good courses closer to Huntsville that don't discriminate against Golfnow players to put up with that attitude.

As a side note, the bermuda rough was long enough that you had to literally walk over a ball to locate it. Our foursome lost several balls which were not hit badly, but landed slightly right or left of the greens- but because we were being pushed, we did not take the full 5 minutes allowed to locate balls.
