slow pace of play

Our tee time was 1:46 PM, we did not tee off until about 2:05. We had to wait at every hole from #3 to 14 and then we played #16 at dusk and had to quit. We got into the parking lot at 6:50 PM in the dark.
Obviously, they over booked!!!!!

this course needs a lot of work. has potential

Fairways were ok hard to find a grass spot on some holes. The greens need alot of work, too much bounce and burned up.

Course needs work

Tee time of 12.15 delayed by 30 minutes because someone forgot about the time change creating havoc for the starter.Slow pace of play until the 14 hole.5 1/2 hour round waited on almost every hole until back 9. Greens are diseased,bumpy and need a lot of work. Fairways are fair but need work.
Price was fair but other courses in area that would be better value, and faster play.

Making the tee time

Do not like the No-cancel fine print. I noticed a better time five minutes later and could not make change.

I kept trying, but to no avail

I have tried this course several times, each time hoping that it would be in better condition. But, alas, every time I play the fairways have bare spots the bunkers the sand is hard causing you to need to "pick" it out and the greens contain 3-4 different types of grasses. I will NEVER play here again!

mediocre at best

Started bad with the starter confronting us before we got to the pro shop. We got a cart without a parking brake. Some of the greens have more weeds on them than grass. The fairways are just as bad.

Relax and enjoy the day!

Played on a Monday afternoon. Foursome teed off a little late but not excessive. Ok pace until the par 3 third. Two foursomes waiting and then us! Slow slow until the twelfth and then a few people left. The course is in better shape than last year. Greens a bit slow but fair.
A good course for the money.

Sabal Trace

Excellent layout for the course with a good variety of holes. However, the quality of the course is well below average. No consistency in the greens, lots of diseased patches, tees and fairways weren't terrible, but once you got into the "rough" it was sparse at best. Basically a good course if you just want to go around and beat it around the course, good hackers course, but if you are looking to play an enjoyable course, there are other solid options in the area.

An OK course.

Very slow pace of play that is not monitored by the Ranger or the Pro Shop. Course was in OK shape, but nothing special and not well maintained.

Needs Improvement

The greens are not in very good shape. There were a couple greens with weeds growing. I love golf and still enjoyed playing! There a lot of other courses in the area which are much better for the money.

Getting better

This course has a great layout but has been short on money for years. Compared to the conditions this summer, it has greatly improved but the greens still need more work. They were slow and bumpy but at least they were fully grown in.
We paid $30 and feel that is good value for this course

Duck Grass

Since moving here in July 2013, I have played Sable Trace more than any other place. Mainly due to pricing and convenience. The course is in the best shape I have seen to date. The only down side is the greens. They are ruff, bumpy, could use a good rolling and have duck grass growing all thru them.

Work needed

The new owners have acquired trained greens keeper who has his work cut out for him after years of neglect. Weeds in the greens, sparse fairways and tee boxes that require work. Lets hope that the new team is up to the task and can restore this great layout.

Good basic course, fairly open, wide fairways.

Course has improved over last year, still needs work, greens are slow. Fairly open so don't lose too many balls. Good distances, similar to a city course in my home town.

Second Round of the weekend

I thought it is a good layout, but it was foggy in the morning and the course was very wet after 2 solid days of rain. Carts were nice with rakes. The only thing to really complain about were the greens which need work and were very slow. It was too wet to cut the tee boxes. I got a discount because I was a single, and it was a good value for the money. Yes I would play it again.

Friendly and helpful staff

After playing courses with par at 60 this was a refreshing fair transition to playing full length courses. We booked to play again but were rained out.
