Golf Course or Cow Pasture?

Dekalb County should close this course and save a few bucks. If you are not going to keep the fairways cut, tee boxes marked, greens and bunkers maintained, then why keep the course open? Seems like you the course is just staying open to generate a little revenue, but nothing is going back into course maintenance.

At first I thought it was just me, but after reviewing other player comments, it looks like I'm not the only one.

Just close it and save yourself any further embarrassment.

I hate giving negative reviews, but this course gave me no other choice. There is no need to provide a response from the course staff. Looks like they are all they are all the same from the reviews I've read.

Thanks and have a great day. Once again, just close the course and stop wasting money.

Great Value

Sugar Creek has been greatly renovated and restored. The course was grossly neglected for years but is in the best condition I have ever seen it.
The day I played was after two days of heavy rain so the greens hadn’t been cut yet which made putting tough. That being said you could tell that when the greens are cut this course is a tremendous value.
I do wish they had more choices for concessions in the clubhouse. That was the only real downside to the experience. The staff was very friendly and responsive.

Overall I would give SugarCreek 4.5 stars out of five. I would have given 5 stars if they had hot dogs or sandwiches or something to snack on other than chips and cookies.

Close to 5 stars

Everything about the course is very good. A little more growth to the grass will help to get 5 stars. The only blemish is the condition of the cart paths. They need a lot of work.

Wetlands Golf

Great course layout, wonderful staff, the only issue is this course doesn't have a good draining system. After almost a week of no rain the course was extremely wet puddles on several cart paths. some fairways were completely mud covered. When this course is dry it is great.

This course is below my expectations

Uneven fairway, artificial green and no sign board lead the way to the next hole.

Slow greens

The course is in very good shape for winter conditions. Fairways are thin but mostly OK. With most courses having fast to very fast greens, this course was quite a change. We never could get adjusted to the slowness and left many putts short. We'll be ready next time.

What a Muni Should Be

Atlanta's least pretentious muni. Staff is putting work going into the course, especially thinning out trees and improving drainage around the course. Greens are good. Sugar is not going to wow anyone, but it's an enjoyable layout for a great price. Love playing here.

Nice course. Wet day.

We chose a very wet day to play. Fairway was doggy but greens in great condition. Gave a low rating on course condition because of rain. Otherwise, conditions are somewhat better.

great course and friendly staff

The staff is very friendly and the course takes good management skills as you can;t really hit your driver on several of the par 5s. It was wet bc it had rained a ton the day before but we still had a nice time. Challenging and fun!
