Sugar Tree

This is my favorite course. Lots of nature with deer on the course. I like the narrow fairways and the par 3s. It’s a great course.

Good course

Course was in great shape especially the greens. Will be even better when the weather cools off. The course is really tight and narrow off the tee so be prepared for tree trouble and hazards if you don’t hit it straight. Overall good time out there.

Pretty hard course

Course was in great shape considering the excessive heat we have been having.
Course is hard if you don’t hit straight or have a draw. A lot of dog leg lefts here and lots of water hazards.
I’ll be back to play again for sure

Could be better

I’ll start off by saying this is a beautiful course with the wildlife, waterfalls, and landmarks. Have played this course twice now, and second time not as good as first. There are too many hills, blind shots, and strangely places tee boxes to make this course enjoyable to play any more than every few months. Despite all the rain we have had, the fairways and tee boxes are going south fast. Most fairways looked like hay, and the tee boxes required a hammer just to place tee in the ground. Greens are still in very good shape as of June 30th.

As far as staff goes, they are good enough, but you
Get a sense of fake friendly quite often. Now to the clubhouse. There is a reason people sneak their own booze into golf courses and this place is it. 18 bucks for a medium sized mixed drink. I will bring my own should I play this course again. Will probably come back in the fall before winter conditions set in. For the hour drive there are too many overall better courses for my money.

Consistent Fun

Great course, very helpful staff. Driving range is right by the pro-shop and beside the 1st tee. Only a few holes where houses come into play. The Scottish Terrier on the 18th hole left side fairway is a machine gun barker, very funny. Hole 14 runs along the Brazos River and is a great view. Depending on the wind, the horse ranch on by the 13th green will get you moving along quickly.

No driver needed!

I enjoyed my day on the course. Started with some range balls and putting practice next to the clubhouse.
There were some puddles throughout the course and on the edge of some fairways. The greens were punched recently enough to see the punch marks on some holes, but didn't have any effect on the putting. A couple of greens had quarter sized bare spots toward the edges of the green, but didn't effect my game.
The fairways are very narrow. Didn't pull driver a single time, but still tied my best score. Some holes seem short, but the dog legs make you take short shots.
It was worth driving over an hour to play at this course and I will probably be back again!
