Fun Course

The course is short but tricky. There is a lot of water in play and the greens are hilly. We all enjoyed it and appreciate the price!

Questionable procedures

This course continues its less than friendly policies to golf now customers. They refuse to let you tee off early even if there are open times ahead of your tee time. Most annoying and feels very unfriendly is not allowing you to put your clubs on the cart until 15 minutes before the tee time. Staff politely inform you of this, but why? This practice has been going on for years now. We play a variety of courses in the area, no other course uses this approach.
Where do other golfers come from and go to. At least 2 groups of 2 players appeared behind us for 3-4 holes, then disappeared. One 2some passed us, played 2 holes then disappeared. Members must be coming onto the course as they please. Made it difficult to judge our pace of play.

Reviews over rate this course

As a Scratch golfer thought we would try another par 60 course to work on the iron game. Save your money and time as this course is cut out of a retirement community as an after thought. Every green is crowned, some are mini putt, yes they are quick, no grass on tee blocks which are all crowned with no flat lies. A very poor course layout, greens which are not real golf greens, and tee boxes which are aweful.
Best part of Sable Springs is the Pro Shop staff. Very professional.

Course is not rated to enter scores in GHIN

Overall, the course is in great shape except tee boxes are very worn and uneven. Challenging course with a lot of water and sloped greens. Would have played it again in a heat beat HOWEVER, it appears that they are no longer a “certified” course. Unable to enter scores in GHIN so I’m guessing their slope and rating have not been reviewed. Play it if you just want to have a good time.

The course is very nice. Do not try to retrieve a golf ball from the lake near home 18 because the NOSEY woman living near that hole will yell at you and then call the starter who will come down and accuse you of stealing!!

First time

I would not play this course another time. It has nothing to do with regular Golf like I understand playing Golf. The price was okay, but I like to play Golf on a normal course. Sorry!

Sneeky difficult

Usually play senior tees and thought length would be easy.Not so! Several par 4's require almost 200 yd straight carry over water.Most holes have water length of one side and Q/B on other. Greens are in good condition ,but lots of slopes. Next time I'll play whites or gold tees.
