This course needs work.

Lots of potential but this course needs a facelift. There were lots of areas all over the course that need maintenance work. Some fairways had major low spots with standing water and mud. The sand traps had standing water on several holes. If they get these issues worked out it can be a really nice course. More than one green had muddy spots. Tee boxes were often littered with broken tees.

Saddle brook first time

This course had several water holes and narrow fairways. It has older trees that have a very solid sound when hit by your ball, The course was very interesting and we had a great day at this hidden gem.

Poorly Managed

5 hour round of golf due to extremely slow pace and, even after calling to pro shop to complain numerous times, the ranger still never did anything about it. Not sure if they even have a ranger. There is a sign on the door to the pro shop seeking maintenance help and the course shows it.

Good Value

Nice course and great price!
Was a great day but beware if you book on line at the outstanding price so are lots of other golfers. All good unless someone is in a hurry. Almost 5 hour round is a little long but everyone that was stacked up was cool about it and were there to have a good time.
Would recommend to friends!

Dangerously tight on back nine near homes, and a very tricky finishing hole, but overall a great experience.

Score!

White tee box is short and still requires some strategy, short hitters can score on most par 4s and par 5s. Some excellent long drives can actually bring the water hazards into play. Check your yardage to the hazards!

Good public track in Indy

First time playing here. Course was in good shape. Definitely would recommend playing early in the morning or twilight if you are worried about pace of play on weekends (tends to be slightly slower than most places). Liked the facilities and felt like it was a reasonably challenging track (almost all holes punish you for going long).

Not the same coarse

Lets start by saying that I got a GREAT DEAL on deal caddy, If I would have paid full price for this round i would not be happy.
I understand that fall/autumn gold can be somewhat difficult at time, however the greens and bunkers were in terrible shape, looked like they hadn't been tended in sometime.
I play city coarse 3-5 days a week and they are in considerably betterr shape than SB.
I had a good time with friends, but the coarse was NOT UP TO SNUFF!! At this time I would not recommend to a friend, but I do understand it is late in the season.

Every time we play here the pace is SO SLOW and never a ranger to check on things. We have gotten to the point that we will drive further out just to avoid the frustration.

Course in poor shape

There had not been rain in at least 6 days. Yet, there was standing water in a couple of bunkers. Also, the back 9 was very soggy and in very bad shape.

A gem that once was

You can see the diamond that this once was, but the years have had a toll on the course and surroundings. Maybe because it is late in the year they have let it go for a bit, but that does not account for the sheds, fences and other surrounding areas of the course. For the money, West Chase or Eagle Creek is a better value.

Course has a nice layout and nice holes. Unfortunately for the price it fills up quick. Get out early to beat the hackers. One of my favorite public course especially for the price.

I have played this course many times in the past and always enjoyed it. Got a Great Deal on GN. It had rained a lot this past week and #14 Tea Box took a beating. A couple of the greens are rough and some traps are being redone or removed but over all fairways were good.

Remember to always Fix Thy Divot

Decent Course

Played this on a Sunday morning after a huge rainstorm the night prior. While the course certainly took on a larger than expected amount of water, the drainage was somewhat lacking as there were a number of areas of standing water even by late in the morning.
I've played this course many times and recommend to always play early if you don't want the round to take 5 hours +

Incredibly Slow Round

This would have been a much more positive review if this hadn't been the slowest round I've ever played. They apparently stacked up the tee times. Our twosome was stacked between three foursomes. We had to quit after it took 3 hours to play 9 holes. We sat at the tee for over 15 minutes at more than one hole. The weather was beautiful, the course condition was better than average, and the company was good. I would stay away from this course on weekends, I would not be surprised if they commonly stack the tee times.
