HOT AS HADES

TOOK 5 HOURS TO PLAY 18. TEED OFF AROUND 12:15 P.M. IF THEY'RE GOING TO RUN THE T-TIMES THAT CLOSE AND THAT PACKED, THEY SHOULD HAVE A COUPLE OF RANGERS OUT THERE PUSHING PEOPLE ALONG. I SAW AT LEAST ONCE NO ONE ON A HOLE AHEAD OF US, BUT 3 GROUPS BACKED UP.

Golf 6-22-25

Overall, this course has a nice layout and great views. Four of the 18 holes are quite similar, which isn’t enticing.

The day we golfed was extremely hot and play in front of us was very slow. We waited on almost every hole. The biggest complaint is that there was never a ranger to check on players or keep things moving. The beverage cart was around regularly, which was appreciated. It took us 5 1/2 hours to play a round.

Don’t come here

Worst course I’ve ever played. 1 hr and half rain delay. Completely flooded and they don’t even send an email or phone call to inform you it’s backed up. Make sure to call before your t time if you want to golf here. Also smells terrible

Used to be my home course

I've been playing SL for 20 years and seen all the changes.

They have increased the price recently to the point where it's not the value it once was.

Still, I would recommend this course as a fun place to play, just not as good a value as it used to be. It's a Troy city course and crazy busy now.

6.5 hours for a round of 18 holes.

Every hole was a wait! Not worth it. Also not cheap. You are paying for location only. Not going back even though I live a mile away from there. They pack us in there like sardines. Also not cheap.

Worth playing but slow

Fine course for what they charge. Very slow play and odd layout with having to cross fairways to get to some tees

Longest round I’ve played

The course is beautiful and it’s a fun layout. Some of the course was being fertilized but I’m ok with that this early in the season. However, when I got to the course and the starter said I was looking at a 5 hour round minimum. Turns out that round ended up being closer to 6 hours. When they know pace of play is over 4 hours, and is pushing 6 something needs to be done. At one point we had 4 groups on one tee box waiting to hit. This relaxed attitude toward a 5 and even 6 hour round will be the only reason I won’t go back to this course. Everything else was great, but 6 hours to play 18 holes is simply unacceptable
