Ridiculously Slow Pace

Played two days in a row.

First day took over 5 1/2 hours due to excessive amounts of players on the course.

Second day started well but slowed down to a worse pace than the first after 4 holes. On the turn, it slowed down to an unmanageable pace. Holes 10 & 11 took over an hour to play. We left after the 12th hole.

Don’t know that I’ll play that course again.

Very disappointing…

Charmer keeps getting better

Had not played Sultan for a few years after the passing of my buddy who often accompanied me in years gone by…..But another buddy had never played it after I had talked it up for years. We grabbed two more and drove the 1.5 hours over from east Louisville. It was well worth it.

Course was in “country club” condition. The fairways in particular were routinely awesome. Greens were really good and consistent. Newly enlarged pro shop and all staffers from the snack shop to the cart guys earned 10’s.

But the best of the best is the course itself. Each hole is memorable. Some a little harder than others, some a little easier, but all in all a great balance of holes.

TREAT YOURSELF AND MAKE THE TRIP.

Beautiful Golf Course!

Had a wonderful experience at Sultan’s Run Golf Club this weekend. The course is very scenic and was in immaculate condition. I found it to be both fair and challenging. It was a real treat playing on zoysia fairways and bent greens. Staff overseeing the golf carts were very helpful and friendly. Kudos for staggering the tee times 12 minutes apart. This indicates a clear effort to ensure a positive experience for the golfers who play here. The two guys I golfed with and their spouses couldn’t have been nicer. We had a blast! I would love to play Sultan's Run again.

Great golfing with a challenge

Course is great shape. Pace was great on Sunday afternoon. Our twosome finished 18 in 3 1/2 hours. Top notice facilities. Greens were super fast so that made it pretty challenging to putt but still a great time.

Great course- but…

This is a top notch course. A great challenge and wonderful layout. My only reservation is that the pace of play was very slow. No Ranger on the course. After 11 holes , I had to leave..it was that bad. As a single, I expected no privileges, and I got that. Twosome in front of me was taking the time a walking foursome would. On 11, there were 3 groups on one hole. Not a regular there, so maybe I need to adjust. I will go again, despite the pace. It was that beaitiful and challenging.

Love this course

I have always loved this course. The staff is so friendly, the course is in great shape and is really scenic. No residential areas to mar the scenery. Holes 15-17 are really nice and the par 3's have real character. Don't miss this diamond in Southern Indiana.

Great value course!

Had a ton of fun playing at Sultan Run Golf. The weather was perfect and the only unfortunate thing was that it had just rained and the course was cart path only.

Their staff was very friendly and accommodating, the course was fun, challenging and with awesome views all around. Loved the GPS system in the car that would allow me to know, pin location, green slopes, etc. When playing the course for first time this was very needed.

The 18th hole is just incredible. You have to hit the perfect tee shot and then you're between 130 and 150 out. Great view of the green with the waterfall in the back. So cool!

Definitely want to play it again and would recommend 100%!
