Sugarmill Woods Country Club - Oak Course

only the front 9 were open. Was not informed until after we had checked in and were walking to the golf cart. Bar staff were awesome and very attentive. Was upset at spending the amount spent to only play the front 9 twice, but we were the only people on the course so we enjoyed the privacy! Other than that, the front 9 were great and a good variation for my skill level.

Played it a few times. Nice layout with decent fairways. Back nine closed till September I think so you have to play 9 twice eight now. Didn't know that the last time I played. A little annoyed. They have a nice range too. But it was closed too. So play this course but I'd recommend waiting till they open up the back nine.

When booking there was no mention of course being repaired or that 5 of the 6 sets of nine holes were closed. Had to play cypress twice. Cart paths are terrible. Greens were aerated and balls could not roll. When putting the ball jumped up, down, right, and left. Unplayable. Course is clearly taking corrective action to fix this course and in time may be nice again. Layout is good and pace of play was fast due to the fact we were only group playing it. Purses should always disclose when aerating takes place so golfers can decide for themselves if they want to endure difficulties associated with this process.

Like the course layout …back 9 closed due to repairs

Played front twice …did not know airfares …

At this time I would not play again ….hope it gets better was told a new owner has taken over ….

The owners should be ashamed of themselves charging $30 bucks! Back nine was closed, grass around the greens needed to be cut, most greens were a mess, had to look for a flat spot to stand on at the tee boxes to drive the ball, fairways were rutted and filled with weeds and sprinklers that were running nonstop turning the 9th green into a lake. When we told the man in the pro shop about the sprinkler he said it was running for two days. The only positives about this course was the golf carts and the man at the pro shop who gave us cards for a round for $20 bucks, but with the conditions there not worth using. I’ve never seen a golf course empty on a weekend but this one was and now I know why.

I was not aware that only 9 holes were available because they were working on the back 9. However they did give me a round for $20 after 12.

Should’ve been warned that greens were atrocious!!

There were no amenities. Staff was friendly, but it did not make up for conditions of the course, also the shear absence of anything worth mentioning or returning for.

Shame on Golf Now and the course for charging me, (an unsuspecting player) the price I was charged. Golf Now needs to review these horrible courses before putting a $60 price tag on these type of rip you off courses. I am not impressed with the course, but mostly ashamed of Golf Now!!

On hole one a crow stole 2 of my partner's pink golf ball. I bet it has a pretty stash somewhere. Nature is great. We saw 3 colors of Fox Squirrels and sand cranes. The holes are long. The fairways had areas of dead grass but we are in a drought. Some of the putting greens were mostly sand. The cart paths need work. Most of the holes were unremarkable. It is very flat which I appreciated since I was playing injured. We got a good rate so I was ok with the value.

Love the course but with our drought, course is very dry.

I was told over 6 months ago that this course along with another nearby course have been bought by a new owner and will be renovated immediately. The greens were the worst I had ever seen in person and some greens did not have any grass at all. The conditions of a few greens on this date 4/19/2023 were in worse condition than 6 months prior. Very few differences since the alleged new owner has taken over. I did notice one green in particular had been repaired, but it was still brown on the back half. The average price to play at this course is not worth the price for the poor conditions of the greens.

Due to the time of year the overseeding is dying off so the fairways are a bit dry and rough. The greens are in good condition and run true.Have played it earlier in the season and it was good condition. The value on Golf Now made up for the spotty fairways.

First time playing this course. The front nine layout is great and greens were in terrific condition. Fairways need work but I’ll trade that off for the greens condition. Back nine was rough but you can tell they are working on it. Staff was amazingly cordial and accommodating. We will be playing there again for sure.

Some of the greens were in bad shape. Staff should advise golfers of these conditions, especially when the green were air rated etc. Overall my round was great.
