Great course condition for the time of year. Friendly staff at clubhouse. Greens always roll true.

What can I say. . . .it's the middle of Winter and we're playing golf!

Spend the Whole Day, Literally

5 1/2 hour round. Very minimal marshall presence. They will run people off if this continues.

Greens were fast and true. Rough a little long in spots, but expected this time of year.

Love the course, but will think twice next time.

Hello, Diehardgolfnut. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Annbriar Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Not Impressed

Disclaimer: Drawn to the course by reviews. Used to playing golf in the Midwest with fescue and bentgrass. Not many "quality" courses in the area. Typically a walker.

I had higher expectations for this course based on reviews. The overall condition was VG. Greens were solid, hard and tough to hold on approach. One challenging water-carry hole on the course. Several tee boxes were covered in divots.

My biggest concern was pace of play and realize this is a resort course with the potential for higher numbers of high handicap players. Several groups allowed us to play through only to realize the group we followed in to the club house on 18 had at least one hole open in front of them. This was after the nice young man had a conversation with us about how their round had suffered from slow play.

I realize many courses face pressure in today's business environment and are troubled with rising labor costs and dwindling labor supply. Their were marshalls on the course,but all they did was drive the course in their carts. Courses need to step up and take charge of pace on their course. Pace could have easily been improved if the slow groups were required to allow other groups to play through.

U-City takes wonderful care of this course and it shows by the bookings. The course is beautiful in extreme temps during the summer. I can't say enough about this facility or the people that work there.

Negligence

Play here often, but maybe not in future. 100 degree temps and no water on the course. Not their usual protocol as they have had it out on prior playing dates and temps were milder.

Course is drying in spots and played fast.

Busy Course

They pack 'em in here, but they have the manpower of starters to get things going. We saw the marshall on 1st tee box and never again that day. Decent course and great greens.

Misleading - Saddlebrook Course

Not as reviewed on GolfNow/GolfPass. This may have been a solid course some years ago, but it's dropping in the rankings today.

Much of the pace of play conditions can easily be solved through effective marshalling. This course had great check-in and starter slots, but that where is it ended. Front 9 was a little over 1 1/2 hours and we finished in 5 hours.

The resort appears tired and in need of an update. A chicken sandwich for $15 and beers at $10/each would lead me to a starvation diet. You want to patronize a course in their concession area, but certainly not subsidize the entire operation.

Tee boxes were good and fairways decent, but greens were long, shaggy and extremely slow. There were also many dead spots on most greens and attempted patching with sod.

On vacations I tend to stock up on pro shop attire, but not here. The pro shop was virtually empty and must be remodelling. I left without the opportunity to purchase anything.

Not a repeater. Player beware.

Outstanding!

Who would have known this course would be so fun? Wide scenic fairways gave way to outstanding greens. Lots of up and down holes throughout the course. Definitely one to come back and play again!

Vast Improvement

It's been a while since I played Sugar Creek and I was happy to say that I came back and gave the course another look. You can tell the owners and staff are working hard to turn things around. Some of the major improvements I noticed while playing today:

- Great turnout, even on a day with 90+ degree temps.
- Greens that were phenomenal.
- All turf areas on each hole had sufficient grass.
- Sand traps had decent sand to hit from.
- Tee boxes were wonderful and easy to place tee for drives.

All in all it was great to see so many people at the course and you could tell they have been working at bringing customers back.

The cart path in many areas was in need of repair, but I would not consider this a major drawback to playing this course - there are ways to get around rough spots on the path.

Thanks for all your hard work Sugar Creek!

Disappointing Experience

We only play this course a few times a year since our multiple league schedule does not allow time for more. The course was aerating the back nine, which we were notified of when we arrived. No where on the course website or through GolfNow was there notification of this maintenance and inconvenience. To top things off, new groups were allowed to start and delayed the progress of groups making the turn after the first nine holes. The bar in the clubhouse closed early and did not allow for any refreshments after the round.

Very disappointing and not the first time with issues at this course. Not sure if we will return and need to evaluate GolfNow for next year's membership. Disgusted.

Great and Consistent Track

Played last year and enjoyed it so much that we returned this year. Greens are fast and true. Fairways were in great shape as we're tee boxes.

We'll be back next year - God willing.

Consistent.

For as much play as the three courses receive at Forest Park they are in wonderful condition. Tons of ball marks on the greens, however they roll well and true. Fairways are probably the highlight of this course with the turf allowing decent approach shots to the green.

They are playing twosomes due to the pandemic which slows play a bit, but we still finished in 3 1/2 hours with a busy day.

This course is definitely a great play if you are in the area.

Good to Practice

Very playable. My criteria is turf to hit from and Quail has delivered on that aspect. The whole course is rough and has gone down hill, but it's a great layout and has decent turf to play your shots. The greens rolled well despite many bare spots and diseased areas. Lots of standing water on the day we played from heavy storms the night before. Lots of walkers playing today and maybe a good call due to the condition of the cart path.
