Aeration and sand on the greens

Aeration and sand on the greens made it tough to Putz and chip onto the greens. I have been to this course a handful of times. Due to the seasons changing they decided to aerate the greens and put sand on the greens which made it tough to chip and putt, resulting in untrue lies

Short, challenging course

Fairways were in good condition. Greens showed signs of recent aeration, which was not disclosed when we made the tee time. Greens held the approach shot, but did not roll true. Sand traps needed TLC. Course was short and tight, with water and trees lining most fairways. Yardage markers were tough to find on the cart paths, especially when paths were shared with adjacent holes.

Tough test

Need a good iron game here and driver is not needed much. Accuracy will be your friend if you have it if not bring plenty of ammo.

Sugar Mountain Golf Course

Nice course for iron play. Short but enjoyable. Tee boxes need attention. Greens are challenging. Pace of play is slow.

Great course with magnificent mountain views!

There was a large group of foursomes in front of us when we arrived at the 1st tee, so the starter was very helpful in sending our twosome ahead to the 2nd tee so we could get past them. The course conditions were very good and the course was well-maintained. It was challenging but lots of fun. Can't wait to return the next time I'm in the area.

Super hard fast greens

This course challenges your short game. Green are great but super difficult.

Some bunkers had no sand.
If you are in the mood for a tight, tough executive course, it’s great.
Can be slow.

Fun Course

I have read good reviews about this course and was looking forward to my round. I knew in advance the layout was different in that it has mostly par 3's and par 4's but wanted to take my dad to a course that would not be too long. When checking in the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and we were off to the first tee.

The tee boxes were a little rough due to divots but the fairways and greens were in much better condition than I expected. They were in a condition that was just as good as a high-end club that I played earlier in the week. The fairways were lush and the greens were fast and true. The bunkers were considered ground under repair so it was lift clean and drop at the nearest point of relief.

The layout is narrow and misses are penalized. The greens are full size as well as most of the par threes. My only recommendation is to shorten some of the par 3's to make them a little more fun. The par fours are short but still a test. The mountain scenery is beautiful.

Adjust your mind and give this place a try. It is still golf, just a little different. The course conditions are worth it.

While just a par 64 this place will kick your tail! Slick greens and in fabulous condition! All you big hitters that can only hit a driver may be disappointed, requires finesse to shoot a good score! Wonderful course!
