Golf

I play once a week at sterling Hills. I like the course.
1 most of the traps are dirt with rocks
2 tee boxes are not always flat
3 more expensive than surrounding courses
The course has greatly improved in the last four years it’s close to my house. That’s why I plant once a week. Other courses in the area are about $10-$20 cheaper and I also play other ones occasionally too.

Course in need of maintenance

How this great course is dying. Tee boxes are a mess with divots and bare spots. Fairways have numerous divots and several types of grasses. Rough is weeds or bare areas. Traps are hard pan and not maintained. Greens are the only bright spot, some divots but putts well. Hopefully the management will invest in the course as they did in the banquet room and pro shop.

Don't expect a good pace of play

I play here normally four day a week, and the number of 5-hour rounds is growing. It's up to about 2 per week, weekends excluded (I play primarily on weekdays). It's rare that you finish in four hours or less now. The course keeps booking groups and not policing their pace of play. They have marshalls but all they do is look for foursomes that are falling behind. If the entire group is on a five-hour pace, they say nothing. When you say something about it, all you get in return is "it is what it is". When I play at other area courses I'm always done in four hours or less. If group billing was scaled so the longer you take, the more you pay, the groups would start policing themselves.

Well worth the money!

This course has had better and worse conditions over the years. Right now, especially considering all of the extreme weather, it's as good as it's been in a long time. The greens are really clean. The middle of the fairways are respectable. Everything is very lush from the rains.
It's a great track for the price!

Always nice to be playing golf at Stirling Hills

The course was in great shape...the round was very slow due to a High School Tournament in front of us...but I was able to finish a little after the sun had set, but I still had some visibility...will play here again...

Needs some TLC

I think the course has potential but needs some serious TLC before they can charge $50+ per round. I know there aren't a ton of courses, but you can easily find a comparable course for around $25-$30 per round. Tee box grass length was inconsistent. Lots of uneven lies when teeing off. Weeds everywhere in fairway and rough. Lots of dirt patches that should be under repair with all the extra rain the area has been getting. Greens are nice but no one is repairing ball marks. Driving range is a complete eye sore with many of the hitting bays not being on level ground. If your not going to take care of this course, sell it to someone who wants to build houses.

If they put some money it it..

This course is fun. Could be better, could be a lot worse. If they put money in it you would have to pay more. I just wish the rough was a little longer. Because right now it’s not very penalizing. But the greens are fantastic! My son and I enjoyed this place.
