Good course overall

Nice course layout, in a ok shape for this time of the years.

fairways are good, greens need to be repaired.

Pace was ok until I it a foursome of Japanese guys that played like each stroke would be their last one...

Please have a ranger go around and have people keep-up with pace.

Greens are a work in progress

The greens are re-growing, lumpy and aerated maybe a month ago? Very fast and need more attention. Everything else on the course was spectacular!

Always a treat

Sportsman’s is always a challenge. It’s a bit early in the year to expect pristine conditions. I’ll play it later on and it will be great. These greens are as good as any I’ve ever played on.

Great round!

I purchased the hot deal for 40 bucks w Cart. Course layout is great, and in great condition for this time of year. Some greens were better than others. Sportsmans is usually out of my price range, so I only play it once or twice during peak season. Glad I went out, good pace of play, fairways and bunkers were great!

Greens awful

I have played at this course before and usually like it a lot but this time, the greens were awful. Very slow, bumpy and uneven. I understand, the course had just opened a few days before but seems like nothing was done as far as preparation. There was no water in the ball washers. The restrooms were closed. There was no snacks or food in the clubhouse.

Solid course, good value

This course was in great shape for our late October round. Overall a nice challenge without feeling unnecessarily complex. Traps were in decent shape and greens were excellent. Will play here again.

Great golf.

Spectacular course for the price. Great maintenance there, cordial staff, good food in the clubhouse, very clean pro shop and bathrooms.. Course is state of the art, challenging yet fair, and very open. If you like greenery this is the course for you. Greens roll well and fairways are pristine. Must go back. Well worth it!!

Sportmans

They have kept the course in relatively good condition.

The greens have a few bumps left by golfers without any etiquette. They booked us fairly close to the foursome in front of us and it took over 4 1/2 hours to complete. Holes are challenging and fairways and rough was in good condition. Sand traps were wet from rain. The concessionaire at holes 4 and 15 are rarely there and no card person this year. The waiting at every hole was a pain, but it was so gorgeous out it was palatable.

$$ Pricey and Over rated.

This course always charges ridicolusly high prices, and its an average muni course. I gave it a try because the prices are so high i thought it must be a great course. Big mistake, much better courses to play and for alot less money as well. Last time I will play here.

Incredible playing conditions

Though the staff setup the course very, very well. Firm and fast, rolled greens exceeded expectations. Easily the best value of any course I have played this season.

nice course.

Has a driving range other side of parking lot.

Weather perfect( 73 with low wind, sunny), course well kept with fairways devoid of leaves. Greens fast. Enough challenges to make it interesting but not too challenging. Even the short holes have their own quirks. Yardages well marked and distances to water (17) marked as well.

Finished round in under 4 hours, walking. Will playu again.

Fair challenge

90 yearly course still holds up well. Fair amount of difficulty. Some deep bunkers, but fair landing areas for the most part. Female friendly (for my wife) aside for a couple deep bunkers she struggled with.

Worth playing for the right price.

$30-weekdays.

$40-weekends.

Sportsman's Golf Club a pleasure

Played on Labor Day, but the pace of play wasn't too bad. The course is in excellent condition and the greens are pretty fast. Many challenging holes, but nothing unfair. You can score well here if you keep the ball near the fairway and can putt with a reasonable touch.
