Great this year

This year one of the best. We play every year before visiting put in bay. The course was in great shape, pace was good, and the staff as always very friendly.
If it's a rainy day beware cause the course can hold some water but staff work to keep it playable. Just a great experience here.

Not Informed

When I got there they did not tell me the front 9 had just been aereated and filled with sand. The Greens were terrible. They also forgot to tell me that the back 9 was closed. I am not happy about this and think you should credit my account!

Sawmill in Great Condition

Sawmill has some of the largest greens I have ever played, and this day had some wicked pin-placements. I have to make an excuse for a horrible day of putting, but some holes were cut on hills & slopes of these expansive greens. Greens are fast, but held incoming shots nicely; the fairways are cut nice, but the rough is very penal --thick & long grass (to the point you could lose a ball within a yard off fairway). I think those challenges added to the slow play of groups ahead ........plus there was some cutting as our group made the turn; no starter late in the day, and after a morning Outing. Drainage & sideboards have helped the Hallway Hole #12, which is still a Par6 for us old guys. Thanx to GolfNow for the Hot Deals special pricing, and I shall return, gotta redeem myself after poor putting & scores.
