Course is not well maintained.
The golf course did not have signs of hole numbers , teeing boxes, and the grass is not well maintained I guess it’s because of winter . But I was not satisfied
Fun Track with Good Greens that is Open Year Round
It was below freezing when I started, so not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. It was still winter so I wasn't expecting much. I played 9 here on my way back from Spring Break and the course was within 5 minutes of my hotel so I figured why not.
I made a good decision coming here. Everything was in good shape. For it being march and it being a muni course, the greens were excellent. The bunkers were hard and had almost no sand but this course doesn't have a ton of them. No maps of the holes but the back of the scorecard had a decent enough detailed map. Cart we had was fine. The guy in the pro shop was as nice as could be and respected our courage. Ended up shooting a 38 +3. I like how the greens had unique shapes and slopes to them and so did the fairways. Not at all a boring feeling course. Very nice mix of difficult holes (460 par 4 with water was ridiculous), and scoring opportunities. Would be a very easy walking course as well and I would have had it been a nicer day. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back.
One of the best walking courses in town
I have reviewed Sahm on more than one occasion previously, and the course continues to grow on me. It isn't difficult or overly visually intimidating, but it has a ton of character that allows any golfer to enjoy the course. I think I have finally learned to tame the 12 hole beast as I lipped out for birdie last time. A big bend around the trees is the play off the tee! Great customer service and fun time playing as always. Course was in usual late November shape.
One of the best walking courses in indy
Sahm is a great walking course as it is older, relatively flat and the tees and greens are close enough together. It stays pretty busy being in the heart of the Castleton. The greens normally are some of the most pure in the city that i have played. The staff is super friendly.
The course was pretty beat up when we played and there were pock marks all over the greens. There was a moderate amount of water damage, but the spring rain was torture on all courses around the area. The sand could use work and the practice facilities are moderate at best.
Sahm is always a great time and genuinely one of my favorite courses in Indy. I would say give it a go anytime!
Excellent day at Sahm on Sunday
Even though it was Sunday. The course moved very well only waited on a couple of shots. Weather was good and the course in good condition.
A great fun course
The greens and fairways were in great shape had a great time will definitely be back
GREAT COURSE
Sahms is a great course to play. The only problem we had was the pace of play due to a family playing very slow and would not let faster players play thru. I believe this was very rude.
Fun and easy course
I think this is a great course for a duffer like me. Hard to get into too much trouble. Long drives are not important, as most holes are manageably short. Fairly flat piece of land, so you are almost always playing from level ground, so that is nice. Very little water or sand, so most of your trouble is well placed trees. I would look at this course like a higher end, very well maintained "muni" type course
Great Walking Course
I have played Sahm about a dozen times now, and I always enjoy the round. The course is fairly easy as there are very few hazards on the course. The greens roll very true and putt as well as anything in the city. The price point is excellent for walking 18 holes in the city. It is pretty flat which makes for a great walking round. The staff is always friendly and able to help out. I have heard horror stories of people taking 5-6 hours to play the course, but I have never experienced this.
Good Course, Good Value
The course was in great condition and a good value for the price.
Hot Saturday at Sahm
It was Saturday at one of the few good public courses on the north side so I expected it to be slow but as usual even though the pace seemed slow… we still got around in about 4 hours which is usually the case even when it is slow. There have been days when we played in 2 1/2 hours at Sahm so it all evens out.
Solid Course but nothing special
Sahm's is a great course for the price. It's fairly open and not too difficult. Definitely on our list of regular spots. Staff is great.
Vanilla Dye
This, being "Dye's first 18 hole course", is pretty straightforward by any standard. Some of the Dye hallmarks are there, like small chipping areas and greens that you need to hit for a spot and not necessarily the pin. But there is very little water or sand to trip you up, so the greens and mature trees are the primary defense. They ran a little slower than others around town, but rolled true. Some doglegs give room to cut the corner leaving short approaches if you do. It has a reputation of beings slow and packed, but we got there early and breezed through in 3 hours as a twosome. It won't knock your socks off, but you can do worse than here,
