Sunken Gardens GC Good 9 Holes

Sunken Gardens GC is a good 9 hole course. Greens were bumpy and a bit slow. Got paired up with some nice people. Great food, drinks and patio areas.

Great course for a quick 9

This is the first time I played this course, I like the smaller executive courses, I can get in a quick 9 at lunch time.

The course of play today was great, 1hr 40min only had to wait at the 8th tee for about 5 min.

The fairways were well groomed, the greens were soft.

I enjoyed the time today, and will be back.

Rude Staff and Poor Management

Staff routinely are rude to patrons for asking simple questions. The staff love to mismanage tee times, give away tee times, and make snarky comments. The tees are just mats for most holes. The greenskeepers love rolling right in front of shots.

This is my favorite 9 hole course.

Miles in the pro shop is one of the main reasons I enjoy this course so much. He’s very friendly, understanding and just a cool dude. The practice green is very large and nice, the driving range is irons only due to nearby houses. There are 2 par 4’s on the course. The 2nd hole tee box is under repair but can still pull out the driver and hit the green. There’s no water hazards but there are a fair amount of bunkers to create a challenge. After the round they have a really good barbecue restaurant and bar. Friendly staff in restaurant and bar as well. Very quiet and peaceful. Late spring and through early fall they have live bands on Saturday evenings.
