About
Sawmill Creek Golf Resort & Spa is southwestern Ontario's premier golfing destination. Located just east of Sarnia and less than an hour from London, the golf course is a conveniently situated getaway that feels much further thanks to an idyllic location along the shores of Lake Huron. The course is a par-71, links-style design that is challenging enough for avid golfers but still playable for beginners. The gently rolling landscape was enhanced even further with the addition of more than a million tons of earth, which was carefully molded to look as though it had always been there. The meticulously crafted mounding adjoins the fairways, providing a continuous flow throughout the golf course. In addition to the mounding, golfers will also face large bunkers, tall fescue, bluegrass rough, and desert-like waste areas. It may appear daunting, but Sawmill Creek is not as tough as it looks.

Sawmill creek
Course is in great shape, but would like option to book carts with the round, because never sure of availability.
Sawmill is back!
Well maintained with good pace of play. Greens and fairways well watered and freshly cut. Sand traps cleaned. If you have not been here for a while, your missing out.
Great course
This is a great course close to sarnia..it’s in great shape right now ..greens could use a slight touch but other than that loving the course right now!
The course has a variety of holes .
The negatives were inconsistent sand traps , hard pan to soft sand / dirt . Too much fescue grass . Greens were fast and hard to read sometimes .
Course is so much better than 5yrs ago
They put a lot of work into fixing up the course. Greens roll nice and true, fairly fast, for this time of year. Bunkers could use more sand. All in all, course is really nice. Get out and play it.
For a wet day playing, it was great
It was a walking only day as we've had lots and lots of rain. Chorus was very well manicured, greens, running a little slow but true. I was playing as a single and met up with somebody on the first tee and had a great game.
Waste of Money
I used to be a member here 12 years ago. It has gone downhill badly since then, they pulled it back a little, then it tanked again.
The two guys that were added to my group waited 10 minutes to get a drink before we started, as there was nobody behind the bar.
Our tee time was at 10:56am, but we already had to wait a couple of minutes before we could start. As we got further into the course, we waited longer and longer for the groups in front of us. Total time to play was just over 5 hours. We saw a group of 6 and a group of 8 playing a few holes ahead of us. We never waited on them, we were waiting on the groups of 4 between us and the big groups.
Course was dry everywhere, brown grass. Ground was rock hard. The only nice part to the course was the greens. I do wish people would fix their ball marks though.
Two of our group wanted to get hotdogs, drinks and chips on the turn. The food was ready for when we walked in, which was nice. They took one bite of the hotdog and spit it out. I cannot describe how terrible they looked. If I had to describe them, the hotdogs were cooked two weeks before and left under a heat lamp for all that time. It looked like you would get multiple diseases from eating them. The hotdogs that came out a second time weren't much better.
Nobody out selling drinks on the cart. Day was hot enough that they could have made good money.
When our group complained about the pace of play, we were told to call the pro shop because there was no marshall out on the course. After complaining, still nothing was done about the pace. Why bother say that if you won't do anything about it?
I'm never going back to Sawmill, and neither are the other 3 guys I played with. Brutal experience, I felt like I was robbed. There are so many other courses in the area to get a better experience.
The return of Sawmill
Huge improvements and gains on the condition of the course. A great links style course. Don't miss out on this one.
Sawmill on the comeback!
New ownership investing in the course. Maintenance and upkeep shows. Nice link style course with challenging but fair layout. Worth the visit!
