Nice Course......

I've played here for years and recently the whole resort was purchased by Cedar Point. They did a major remodel to the resort building and it was much needed, looks very nice.
As far as the course, overall its very good, greens are nice, decent fairways. The cart paths though are not great at all they all need redone badly, hopefully they address that soon. I believe they got new golf carts though, very soft seats, nice ride.
The staff is much better than before!!! It seems they used to treat you like second class, but now everyone is very nice and easy to deal with, makes it so much nicer to go there!

Too much fun

Very challenging course to play, but very fun! I’m 72, and a 10 Handicap for this course. It was windy, but no matter; the course was in great shape. The staff was very friendly, and helpful . Especially AMY, a young lady that was, and has been in the past, very professional and welcoming!

I recommend this course for all who love a challenge!

Sawmill in Great Shape

Greens are huge & awesome...... fairways are good enough to play Summer Rules; rough is thick & sand bunkers are well kept & consistent (only one was dirt -- maybe #16). I ask you to name a course with bigger greens than Sawmill, so a round without 3putts is good scoring. This day was perfect, not much wind, and nice pace-of-play @ mid-day. Resort still getting ready (Cedar Point bought last year), but play here before it gets crowded & more expensive. Thanx to GolfNow for the Hot Deals, and very enjoyable round @ Sawmill. I will speak the word ...and be back, need another try to make par5 on the Hallway Hole #12.

Sawmill Creek Golf Course in Great Shape

Course conditions are awesome @ Sawmill .......and 1st I have to applaud both the ProShop & GolfNow for the Hot Deals special. Once the resort gets back into form (purchased by Cedar Point a year or so ago), golf here will be a premium (price & availability). I love to play here a couple times a year. This day was a back9 start, so I had a chance to get the Hallway Hole #12 on the card early ----Hallway Hole for good reason with water on both sides of fairway for your second-shot landing zone. It was playing down-wind, I hit 2 good shots, but my 3rd comes up short on the fringe & 3-more strokes to make my par6 (it is actually par5, which Bogie is good for me). Sawmill has huge enormous greens, you won't find many courses with size of #10, 11, 8, etc ... & putting nicely. The sand bunkers are well kept & consistent (I was in 1 that was more dirt than sand, but I'm sure its on the short list for work); the tees are good, and the fairways are good enough to play Summer Rules. The clubhouse has been remodeled, the patio/deck looks good for viewing play on #9 across the pond. The golf mgr Abby can be contacted for outings & any future plans ........get to this course while you still can.
