Enjoyable Round

Course was not crowded. As a twosome, we were able to play in a little over 3 hours without having to wait on anyone. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Greens were in good shape and holding approach shots well due to recent rains. Sugartree always provides a challenge with lots of trees if you are not in the fairway. This course is more protected from the wind than most in the area. Saw a couple of bucks and several does running around the course.

Needs rain

The greens are a little burnt and need water. The pace is always a crap shoot out there w the members convening in groups of 6-8 for their weekly games. Was slow today. But the course is always fun and the wildlife is beautiful. Deer everywhere. We drove from the mid cities. It’s normally 5 stars, but not this trip. Overall, it’s good. Will be back in the spring.

Recent rains

The course was in fairly good condition considering the recent rain. It’s a good layout with straight holes, holes that favor slicers and hookers.

Sugar tree golf

Me and my son played it for the 1st time yesterday and there were some very challenging holes. You have to watch the river on the front 9. Make sure to keep the ball straight. If you're a weekend Warrior, make sure to bring a few extra balls.

Tee boxes and greens were in rough shape. There are a lot of courses closer to the DFW area that don’t cost as much and have better conditions.
