Sawmill Creek Golf Resort & Spa
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.

In great shape, nice and GREEN.
The only thing I’d change is having the forward tees further up on all Par 5s and a few Par 4s. Starting to see this on some courses now and it makes for more confident golf for women for sure. 400+ yards is intimidating - and moreso when playing with someone who out drives you by 100+. Greens were pristine and fairways also nice and lush. Best round I’ve had there despite the horrible weather we had.
Great shape
The new owners have the course in really good shape. Not quite it's old glory days but still a huge improvement
Sawmill is Back!
Greens were lightning, fairways were tight, rough was thick just off the greens yet there were a bunch of birdie opportunities too. The course was in rough shape over the last few years but it's definitely back and then some!
Won’t stop coming back
Great shape, layout and professionalism are the hallmarks of this great track. What an improvement over 3 years ago, my new Sarnia/Lambton fave
Don’t miss this track
If you think 6445 yards is short, wait till Lake Huron winds gust up. Great design and terrific track, the owners have put some serious coin in this place and boy, does it show. Staff is awesome, they’ve implemented ‘etiquette’ into the club so don’t miss out. For the few courses in our area, this one’s the best!
Hidden gem
They have really been bringing this place back up to the standard it used to be. Only problem here is if it’s windy you really feel it!
Challenging course with some very interesting water holes. Wind is a huge factor in club selection.
Nice course
Only area I would like to see improvement is better sand in bunkers.
This course was in rough shape a few short years ageo and last year it was in great shape and this year is no different!
Beautiful golf day
The course is in very good shape for the most part. Some Tee boxes and sand traps need work however, the fairways and greens are great. You can see the work that the ownership group has put in to make this a much nicer course.
If they want to make this a difficult course to play, growing out fescue and rough will certainly make that happen.
Also there are some blind spots that can create some challenges for first time players on the course. Overall the course is fun to play.
Disappointing and disorganized
Went with my dad who drove 2 hours to play and we ended up leaving due to the disorganization. There was a huge backlog of groups because they had more carts than cart keys. The starters explanation was that there are members that take keys home, so when they play they don’t have to pick one up. After waiting an hour, we asked if we could just walk and they said no problem and they’d get us out sooner. After another 20 minutes, we left and they refused to give a refund. Never have I seen such a disorganized and poorly managed course, won’t be back. It’s unfortunate because it is a nice course to play, but until they get themselves organized and enforce policy, I’d avoid.
