Fast

Got around in 1:40 and that was with wating at a couple holes. We were only a twosome but waiting on a twosome in fron on only a couple holes. Staff was and always is so friendly and courteous and that is getting increasingly rare on public and especially park district/forest preserve courses. Course would rate higher in couple catagories but there are ares still under construction.

Once again a great little course

Love this course. Great 9 hole course that really helps you work on your game. Took my wife for her first time out and she loved it and can't wait to play it again. Course was in great condition the greens are tricky but were in great shape.

Bad golfer

This would have been a fun course if I could play halfway decent. Next time I will use the forward tees so all the water won't mess with my head so much.

DONT DO IT!

Do not play here! inclement weather was coming in and would have restricted our ability to play. I call 7 times prior to my tee time to cancel as the round wouldn’t have happened , and have called 5 times since with no return call and zero ability to get someone on the phone. They kept the money and won’t call back. GolfNow has even called 3 times without success. What a Joke!

Great 9 hole in area

I think Sugar Creek is the best 9 hole in area. Decent challenge but good for young golfers as well as challenging enough for more experienced players.

Midweek fix under 2 hours

I took a chance playing this since it was close and I had time to kill. I wish it was 18 holes. I enjoy a well maintained 9 hole course with a range. If you have 3 hours, do it all. I was warned that the pace is extremely slow on weekends. But I went back Tuesday after playing Monday. For the price, it’s great.
