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.

Course has many blind shots so playing for the first time can be tricky. Overall the course is great and the greens for the most part are excellent.

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.

Punched Greens

Okay let me start by stating the obvious...we all know that putting greens need to be punched and sanded.

The greens on Saturday were suspect at best. They're just coming out of being punched. I DO NOT APPRECIATE NOT BEING INFORMED BEFORE WE COMMITTED TO PLAY!

It is poor customer service NOT to inform potential players that they're about to play a course with sub-standard putting greens...there is no excuse for this failure to notify - Unless you're trying to be deceptive. Then to make it suck even more, we were charged regular, full price rates! Imagine paying full price for a Cowboys game and then find out you get to watch the practice squad...would you be happy?

Fair warning to all...call this course about playing conditions BEFORE you commit to play there.

It was average

Reviews were great unfortunately the greens and tee boxes not so much. Never seen the cart girl for refreshments not even once. Had high expectations but felt it was sub-parr. Layout and difficulty was good. It could be better taken care of and be way better

I think issues with the course are due to the lack of rain and the heat this summer. I have played there in the past and it has been really nice. Greens had been recently punched which is odd for this time of yr. It made putting difficult. Fairways were dry but in good condition considering the lack of rain. Greens held well. It was a good play but not in the condition I was expecting from my previous visits there.

Fun course

This course is great for the price. Very challenging if you cannot find the fairways. Greens were good overall couple places that looked like they were having some issues, but they were very receptive on shots. Staff is great! Worth the drive to play here with all the deer running around.
