This course is very tight and requires great placement to score

My favorite course of all time. You really have to know the know course and play well placed shots to be able to score. This course is very challenging for all levels. Greens are in awesome shape. One of Texas's hidden gems

Great Hidden Gem

I drive over 2 hours to play this course a few times a year. It's always in great shape and even without the golfnow deal it's still a bargain to play such a well maintained course. You have to make sure you polish up on all your clubs in the bag because you're gonna need them. Lots of holes are an iron off the tee or 3 wood because most holes are pretty tight. If you haven't ever played it you're missing out. This trip I got to witness my buddy hit his first hole in one on a very scenic par 3, talk about excitement!!

Good, challenging course

Trust me, this course can be difficult especially in the wind. Quite a few shots are blind from the tee box. My only reservation about the place is the practice range as only 10 or so people can practice at one time. Not sure there are many options with this but do not consider it a deal breaker.

Great course! Highly recommend!

What a great course! It's definitely worth the drive. The course was in great shape and I really enjoyed the layout. It was challenging but not unfair. Very scenic and you get the feel that you are away from everything. Didn't appear to get a lot of play, probably because of the distant location. Not crowded at all either, and that was on a Sunday. Felt like we had the entire course to ourselves! I will ABSOLUTELY be adding this course to my list of favorites!

Be ready for a challenge

I drove out to this course from Fort Worth on a Saturday morning and it took a little over an hour from downtown. This course in my opinion is one for a 10 handicapper or less. 10-12 of the tee boxes face into elevated "blind" fairways that if it's your first time playing there, you have no idea what's beyond the crest of the fairway which makes you out guess your drive and can lead to trouble. I wish I would have went in the Spring, I'm sure it's beautiful, but in the winter the fairways are just brown carpet, water runoff in places made the fairway unplayable, leading to my last observation, LOTS of WATER, take plenty of balls, you will lose a few here.

Outstanding

The greens are just outstanding right now. The course is in great shape. Played when a cold front was supposed to come in so there was no one on the course when we teed off.

Sugar Tree is a very challenging golf course just keep the ball in the play.

Really enjoy playing Sugar Tree. Its a beautiful golf course and in excellent condition. The course has a ton of trees and therefore very tight. With the trees overhagging in some of the fairways you need to be knowledgeable on where to play the ball to get a decent shot to the green. It makes you think. Love the course.

Bring your "A" game.

ST is not long, but does require very accurate tee shots and iron shots. You might want to also buy the course guide as our GPS system couldn't call up the course. The greens will hold anything, so long as you can hit them (the average green is small and narrow with lots of undulation). Be very accurate as there are really not many "bailout" areas - you will either be in great shape or have not chance. This course is not designed to make you think, it's designed to make you choke.

Sugar Tree

The course is in great shape. I have played this course in the past and I think it is in the best shape I have ever seen it in. Well worth the trip and you won't be disappointed. Your shots have to be planned out and it is a challenging course to play. The staff were very friendly. We played at a leasurely pace - no one in front of us and no one pushing on us and still fininshed in 3+ hours.

Hidden Gem

I have played Sugartree for many years now and this is my favorite course in the entire metroplex. They know how to take care of this beautiful course and the greens are out of this world! Bring your game to play this course. Challenge on every hole and the tree's are beautiful but deadly if you find your way in or near them. This course is a must play and well worth the hour drive for me to play. I promise a challenge, but the beauty of this hidden gem is also a promise I will make. Deer, Ducks, Birds are always seen playing at this amazing course. Truly an amazing place to see. I want to retire at Sugartree someday......Seriously! Don't forget to call in your order at #9 tee box with the land line phone they have stationed next to the ball washer. Be sure and order the cheeseburger.......it is that good! Sugartree is just a special place every golfer needs to experience!

Tough but fun. Lots of excellent holes & great condition

This is a great value course. It's also a hidden gem. During the week not very crowded. If you think you've got your game mastered, play this course to find out if you're right!
