Okay Course

We enjoyed golfing here. It was not busy and we felt we had the course to ourselves. All the bunkers were overrun with weeds, not much sand to be found, and some of the greens were very bumpy and not in great shape.

It’s cheap, and better than mini putt

No carts (no big deal) NO BEER!!! 😡. Lots, and lots of dandy lions. The homemade hole I built is nicer.

Course is horrible condition

All these reviews are true this course is is terrible shape, fair ways looked like they were the rough and the rough looked like a forest. The greens were patchy and had weeds growing in them. Would not go again.

Sad state for beautiful golf course

Hopefully someone will recognize the beauty of this course and revive it. Although staff is friendly, toilets are not open, pro shop needs scrubbing, parking lot still in disrepair, many mosquitos and very few people out yet.

Just opened a week ago

Great course and layout , you can't expect the course to be in mid summer shape . I was ok with that. But the things you can manage like the ball washers is a must for the early season golfers.
Great staff as always great course layout .once they shake off the winter blues it a hidden gem and worth the drive.

Course is in shambles

Even for 16$ it's not worth it. They might as well just turn the land into houses which inevitably will happen.

Played this course yesterday. New ownership has taken over. They have hired a full crew of grounds guys. Course is in a lot better shape then it use to be. Will still take some time but the bunkers have been racked out. You can see across the course with no difficulty. Can’t wait to see how the course turns out this year.

Best price in the city

The golf courses being reconfigured and maintenance have now began on the course but this year will be more well maintained and our irrigation system for sprinklers and that will be operational and running
That said it’s a work in progress you’ve management love playing golf and they want to bring it up as much as they can over the next three years

You Get What You Pay For

Got Hot Deal for $21 and I am being kind to say the course was in very poor shape. Use to be member at this course several years ago and unfortunately new ownership has ruined the course. Fairways are full of burned out/ dead grass areas, greens are patchy and rough with weeds and the bunkers are not bunkers (full of weeds and patches of grass). It is a shame that the owners have ruined what use to be a nice course!!

Saw Mill Golf course

Course conditions were fair until you got to the greens. They will have to spray for weeds. Greens were extremely slow. Still had no usable bunkers that were full of weeds. With some work, they can bring this back to a very nice course.

Improving

They are doing the right things. Bringing the course back to its prior splendour. But it will take time.
Best of all they have a basic lunch with beer.

Disappointed

Played the course when it first opened went back to try it again .it's in poor condition greens are almost dead weeds growing in some of them. The bunkers are unplayable due to weeds a foot high the fairways are burned out and the tees are like playing out of the rough it's not worth the money the whole place is run down looks like it's about to go under it needs somebody to buy it and rebuild the whole place

New superintendent is doing all that he can to bring course back to its once glory.
But still need time.
