Good value

Greens were bumpy, but considering the recent punching, this was expected. Two par 4 fairways were marked restricting carts. This was confusing, since the ground was dry and the check-in person told me it was 90 degree rule. Other than being behind a slow twosome, it was a good round. .

It wasn't so Sleepy

Sleepy hole golf course is a pleasure to play, the only bad thing was it had been raining alot and the course didn't have time to dry out. Cart path only, and it was wet in the fairway, no roll out on drives. Greens rolled true and speed was consistent with all greens. I love this course and will be back. Ohh it was a good and steady 17 mph winds also, lol.

Not ready to play.

Sleepy Hole is a very nice venue but it was not ready to play this early in the year. The fairways grass had not yet begun to grow and the fairways were thin and damp. Not the fault of course management, rather the weather. The greens were also thin and hard to hold but putted true. Sand bunkers were full and well kept. We will certainly be back in a few months when the fairways and greens are luster and the course is really ready for play.

Pleasant second round

Played here three years ago in early March. Fairways were a little thin. This round, even though we’re in the middle of winter seemed better. Overall worth the trip. Looking forward to coming again in April/ May.

Excellent Course

I’m sure playing in the early afternoon on a Monday helped the pace of play but this course is awesome. Also ends with a bang or should I say splash on 18

Great course for the price

Can’t beat sleepy hole for the money. Sand traps are great, greens are great, and it’s just a really fun layout. Can be very slow on weekends as any course can reall.

Gorgeous course with no one out there with us for a discounted price

First Time Playing
Perfect weather
Used cart

First time playing here. Was cart path only due to the rain but no big deal. Course plays long for inexperienced golfers, for sure one of the more challenging courses in the area.

My only complaint on the day is the greens were inconsistent. They were aerated recently and very sandy, some greens were fast, some were slow. I would be more annoyed with this if we didn't get a good deal on golf now for our round.

Pace of play was decent considering it was cart path only, took just under 5 hours for the round. We only waited on 3-4 Tee boxes for a few minutes, on the front 9.

Overall for the time of year the course was in a good shape, and was a challenge for a rather new golfer like myself, I played with 3 others that are all 80's shooters and they had similar thoughts.

The staff was really nice, and the ham sandwich was delicious.
