course conditions are top notch

I’ve played sawmill creek for several decades. It has always been a very challenging layout, and that has not changed at all. But today’s conditions for the best I’ve ever seen. Cedar point is doing a wonderful job with this facility.

Awesome course!!!

I’ve played this course (18 and a cart) multiple times last year and twice already this year for under $30. The course is in absolutely pristine condition and is never crowded. They also have great carts with GPS.

Tough to Tame Sawmill

If I could putt these spacious FAST greens, I might be able to score & break 80. The wind is always an issue, but this day from south, so playing 2,3,8,12,15,17 with helping breeze..... I parred my nemesis Hallway Hole #12. The greens are so awesome, lots-of-break to even 4'-putts. They are so huge too, I applaud anyone who goes the round without a 3putt. I hit Driver well (9or10 fwys), and fairways are really nice too, cut just right to allow ball to perch up for clean shots. The sand bunkers are well kept........but as usual, score on Sawmill is dependent on putting & windy conditions.

Much Improved!

We were impressed with the course conditions and obvious attention to detail since playing there two years ago. The greens were fast, and the fairways were perfect. We will definitely return!!
