SB Public Golf Course

Pretty pricey for the conditions.

Great location but not worth the money in my opinion. Extremely slow for a very cloudy Sunday late morning/afternoon.

Enjoyed my self tho.

Pace of play is rough

It’s a great course and there are some blind spot holes, but overall it’s not too challenging. It’s just a great day to be out there with friends. The only thing that has been rough certain times I’ve played is the pace of play yesterday when I played here the last Two holes took the group in front of me to play about 20 to 25 minutes for whatever reason. Marshall said they said that they would speed up, but it never happened. But usually expect that in Golf a lot of people are selfish outside of that. It’s a really nice course and like any of the courses that I’ve played if you get a hot deal, it’s definitely worth it

My husband & I played here for the first & likely only time as we’re visiting from UK. We enjoyed the c course but unfortunately the pro shop reception was less than helpful

Enjoyed a ‘breakfast & coffee’ at Mulligans halfway round
