Outstanding

Challenging course! Requires a consistent drive, a few holes that you have to lay up and hit long irons, very quick greens. Course was in great shape. I will definitely play again!

Tough track

This is an extremely tough track from the silvers (6500) with some long carries and narrow fairways. Greens were varied from fast to super slow so putting was a challenge. Pace of play was slow due to the front 9 being cart path only but it opened up on the back 9. The course has a good layout, beautiful scenery.

I'm not sure that I'd return again. If I did, it'd probably be from the silver/green combo tees or the greens. Tough course!

Well Managed

Course was in great shape. We were a little concerned when we were told they had an outing that was shotgunning on the back nine. However, they were great at managing the outing and we didn't even know they were there. Additionally, they made sure no one jumped in front of us when we were making the turn. Very friendly staff, beautiful course, we had an awesome day.

Great Track cut thru nature with fun risk reward layout.

This was my first time playing Sugarbush in Davison. I was excited that it cuts thru nature and not someones back yard. Fairways were in good shape and played like butter. Greens were in good shape and even the greens that have been airated for the fall were playable. Greens had good speed. I really enjoyed it and will definately be on the list to play more often next season.

Fall Colors & Challenging Golf

Challenging round on up-north style track on a fall day in Davison MI.
Enjoyed the round at Sugarbush.
The course was in nice shape for mid October. The fall colors were on full display around each hole, but a few of the leaves on the rough & fairways.
Purchased a fair deal for the round using GolfNow app. Easy transaction and good reception from Pro shop staff. Will play at the course, And use GolfNow again!

Nice course but WAY too much money!

This course drastically upped their price to play this year so October 15th was the 1st time we have played it all year. We got a deal on the day we played otherwise we wouldn't even consider paying their new price. The course was in pretty good shape except for being wet but we can play other courses just as nice for half the cost. My friends will not play here again unless they get their price back to something realistic. We got to play fairly quick since no one as playing there. :)

Friendly staff

Although this was my first time to play here, I thought the course was very challenging..many blind shots...the staff was extremely welcoming...I would refer any of my friends to play there. It's a little ways away from home but worth the ride...the day was absolutely beautiful...can't wait to play it again..

Challenging

I enjoy playing Sugarbush a couple times a year. Usually only when I can find a HotDeals price. Their regular weekend rate is too high for me.

The course is always well taken care of. Staff is great. The layout plays a little difficult for a hack like myself. Missing fairways will usually cost you a stroke.

high end greens fees do not match the quality of the course

In doubling the price of their green fees from last year one would assume that conditions of the course would be greatly improved. that doesn't seem to be the case. other than the cart paths being repaid nothing else seems to be much improved. I noticed numerous places where they had attempted to plant grass seed but to no avail ..the only thing that was sprouting were weeds. the course was challenging but for for the price the greens fees you can find many other courses that are of better vavalue.

one of my favorites

Sugarbush has some really good holes on it and there are not very many easy ones. Make sure you play from the right tee box otherwise this course will be to tough to score on. The day I played the conditions were great, the greens were very nice with hardly any ball marks.

Nice Course

Overall Sugarbush is a nice course. Fairways have a quality cut. Down side is, they put new asphalt cart paths in last fall, which is great, but as of August 22, 2014 they still have not repaired each side of the cart path. It looks really bad. In addition, I think they are over priced (if you pay the regular greens fees) for the quality and level of course that it is. Several people locally have commented on the course being over priced this year. Probably trying to cover the cost of the new cart paths. We will golf it again but only at a discounted price.

Great staff

I reserved a 12:00 tee time as a single but saw that the rain was going to arrive early. I called to see if I could be pair with another group earlier in the day. The staff accommodated my request and I had a great time playing with a few members. The course is in good shape and will challenge even the best golfers. I would not pay the normal $55 green fees but using Golfnow allowed me to experience a hidden gem. Highly recommended.
