Fun Par 5's

I have played Sylvan Glen many, many times. I enjoy the course. You can walk and play without long walks to tee boxes or many hills to climb. The front nine is more challenging, as their final 3 holes, 7-9 have two difficult Par 3's and a tough finishing Par 4 in #9. Have played White and Blue Tees. My favorite part of the course are the Par 5's. Each are protected with various obstacles, but all 4 are reachable in two, which I find fun. Not easily done, but Eagles are possible.

5 temporary greens

Golfnow should of noted 5 greens were unplayable. I would not play here until green conditions are addressed. It's only worth $20.

This course in challenging but very playable.

This course is going on my list of repeat places to play. Our foursome had a great time here. We let one twosome play though and were never pushed. I shot my lowest round of the year!

sylvan glen

Sylvan Glen is a great golf course, well maintained with a few very challenging holes. Course is always in good condition. Greens are always in good condition with medium speed. My only negative about this course is if you want to play on a weekend and you're in a hurry, go somewhere else. I teed off a half hour after my schedule tee time because it was so backed up. The round took just under 6 hours

Nice Course

The facility was bustling when we got there and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was well maintained and wide-open, making it hard to loose that occasionally mishit ball. In general a fun course for a high-handicapper.

This golf course has a unique party feel to it with the well-placed outside deck at the clubhouse. It's fun to sit there after the game and see how about 80% of golfers slice the ball off the first tee into the scattered trees or the adjacent fairway. It made me feel a little better about my golfing abilities, or lack thereof. The food was definitely above average for a public course.

Overall we really enjoyed the day and will be heading back there for more. Recommended.

A more challenging course than first impression

All around good quality course. Four holes on the front nine parallel two very busy noisy roads which I find distracting. Greens are excellent despite heavy play,

nice

Due to all of the rain lately, we did not get a gas cart and needed to use a pull cart, therefore, only able to play 9 holes...
