Sugar Tree

This is the best little golf course in North Texas in my opinion. It’s my favorite course. Almost every hole holds a challenge. Today the grill was closed due to COVID19 but they had a grill going outside. If you’ve never played here, you’re missing out on a good experience.

Great course/one whole very upsetting

First time playing the course. Greens were in pretty good shape and fast. Great pin positions. Fairways are tight if you cannot control a driver or 3 wood better but your irons good. Really enjoyed the lay out of the course quite a bit of elevation changes. One hole in the back 9 maybe 14 is a long par five, but was playing as a par 3 due to extensive flooding. Wish this was mentioned up front, but this hole has a long way to go before it will be playable. Overall besides this hole loved the course and will play again in the future!

Worth the drive and the money

Incredible lay out and effort from the staff to have the conditions that they have and keep. During these crazy times, means a lot to have a get away and breath in fresh air and not worry about the worlds issue .. thanks to everyone at Sugartree means a lot for a weary Firefighter like my self to have the sun on my face and the wind at my back on the golf course. I’ll be back. Thanks again.

A great course but flooded

The course is great. The sand traps were not kept up due to rain I guess but grass had grown into some bunkers. The greens were fast and great. Best feature of the course. The tee boxes were disappointing in that they were small and like an after thought. The driving range and putting green were small. Get there early if you want to practice. Part of the course was flooded I understood but we were not told this when we made our tee time and nor were we told before we teed off. Disappointing. They charged full rate. It rained off and on but the outing was enjoyable. The staff was friendly in helping us know when to come and when we could go back out. Overall, an OK experience but for the price we could have played other courses that were not flooded.

SugarTree. Yes, it's worth the drive.

I really wish half stars were allowed. This course deserves more than 3 stars, but I can't quite go to 4.

It's absolutely worth the trip to play this course, even if you're coming from Dallas.

The course was in good shape, the staff was super friendly. It's a fun course, but it's tough. You must drive the ball well or you're gonna have a bad time. Nearly every hole is lined with trees... and once you go in, it's hard to recover. There is enough room for it to be fair, but it is penal to drive it wildly. The greens are fairly complex. Lots of undulations and quite quick.

The day we played there were randomly 3 extra holes in the middle of the back 9... so 21 total. I didn't really understand the point of these holes... they seemed to be repurposed from a par 3 course and did not flow well with the previous 11 holes. After those 3 random holes, it was back to the usual 12-18 and all was well. I suppose you can't complain about getting bonus golf, but we felt it disrupted the flow of the round.

Bottom line: Fun course. Go do it.

Hidden Gem

I first played this course a few years ago. It is challenging with very few open fairways. A good amount of blind tee shots as well. Those are good things as it challenges the average golfer and is not a lay down for low handicappers. Beautiful trees, water features and Brazos river views that never bore. I enjoyed this course so much I decided to move here. It is a bit of a drive from Fort Worth but worth it.

Fantastic Layout, Conditions, and Price

Found a great deal for $25 tee time on GolfNow for this course. It's off the beaten path, but this course is a must play for that price. Conditions of the tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all top notch. They take great care of this course!

Each hole presents challenges as well. Good variety of water, elevation changes, and dog legs make this course great. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in town!

Beautiful Course

This golf course is in absolutely beautiful condition. The facilities are nice and staff friendliness is pleasant. The course itself is demanding but fair. Course layout is fairly tight but hitting the fairway rewards you with plush lies. The greens are probably some of the nicest and truest rolling greens in the area. Always pleasant to visit the course and will be back again.

Great Course

My son and I were traveling to Ft Worth for the TCU-WV football game, decided to play golf on the way up.
This golf course was in great shape, and the greens were excellent. Great golf course for any golfer, being that is just long enough to be challenging yet very fair.
good layout, with numerous doglegs, that makes you think about your shots. Would recommend this course

The locals don't want you there ...

All in all an enjoyable round. Round took 4 hours and 5 minutes which included a stop for beverages at the turn. We had a group of 4 locals behind us that got disorderly claiming we were playing slow and that we ignored their request to play through. They hit into our group numerous times. Based on this being the second occurrence of such an experience, we have crossed SugarTree off our list of courses to return to.
