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.

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
Sad!
Played this course years ago and it was a gem. One of the finest courses in the area, but that was then. Sad to see what it’s become. Clearly, the owners just don’t care about the course or the opinion of those who visit their establishment.
So sad to see this beautiful course in this condition.
I've played it many times but not since covid hit.
Apparently there are new owners that are trying to get the course back into shape.
Condition and amenities
Bathrooms are dirty, no washrooms on course and it was a wind storm and we didn’t get any money back.
Sand traps are full of weeds and greens are furry and patchy
Sawmill Has Potential
Rather than focus on the things that are obvious, greens need work, bunkers are in bad shape, I will focus on the potential for Sawmill. Wide fairways, big greens
and some nice water challenges. I played today and the first thing I noticed was the tee boxes were fertilized, the grass around the greens and fairways had been mowed. And most importantly, the greens were fertilized, I understand that the greens will be aerated and top dressed next week. This course has so much potential, I played it years ago and it was beautiful, it could be like that again.
Course in very poor condition
Avoid playing here as the course is in totally terrible condition.
Dandelion farm.
Dandelions on greens that haven't seen water all spring. A wasteland on what could be an interesting course
Field of (Dandelions) not Dreams
There is a reason nobody plays Sawmill - the conditions. The weeds have spread from the fairways onto the greens. The greens are rock solid - is the sprinkler system even working.
Pay the extra & play elsewhere.
Course Has declined a Lot
Used to be a member was a great course but was bought and the new management knows nothing about golf courses. Once beautiful greens are now pathetic and fairways aren't being properly cared for rough is a weed patch. Sand traps are full of weeds and are unplayable, Breaks my heart to see what has happened here.
Course Gone Downhill
As a former member I was shocked at how much the owners (who bought the course a few years ago) have managed to wreck what use to be a nice, well maintained course. The bunkers are full of grass and weeds and the greens are fuzzy and full of weeds. Real disappointment!
Sawmill
Greens hairy and bumpy traps and flowerbeds unkept, was told property in receivership which would explain conditions.
