Sugar Creek

This is one of our go-to courses. It is a good test for most skill levels. The course is always in very good condition. The rough is not so long that you can’t get out of. The greens roll smoothly. There is a good mix of long and short holes. My only wish is that they put drinking water on the course. Other than that we try to play here several times a month.

Short, well maintained, and tough greens

Really fun little 9 hole neighborhood course. No par 5s, short par 4s, and testy par 3s. Really GREAT course for beginners. Good course for advanced players to work on shorter irons and quick, heavy breaking greens. Range is turf only, putting green is putting only, no chipping.

Nice little 9-hole course. Good for beginners

This is a short little course thar is slightly longer than a par-3 course. The course is well maintained and very playable. My wife is new to golf and this is one of our go to’s for her so she isn’t holding up the pace at longer more challenging courses.

The course was cheap during the week and we were one of the few groups out there. Very nice round.

Just me: not my favorite course

This course just does not lay out well for me right now. I probably should hit from up tees. Otherwise, it was fun, good group. Slight mix-up with start.

Challenging and picturesque

The course is in great shape! Difficult, sloped greens and thick rough made it tough to score. Staying in the fairway and approach shots left below the hole are very important. Pace of play was great! A very enjoyable round!

Slow pace and holes close together. Bring a helmet.

Okay course, and has potential to be a solid short track, but pace of play is brutal. Only played there one time and saw more than one group of 5 who must've averaged triple par per hole and played every single shot. Got hit into about 4 times from 3 different groups from 4 different directions, gotta keep your head on a swivel and have good insurance playing here.
