First Time Playing

It ready for prime time !!

I played Sweetwater 15 years ago - it was better then. Since the new construction they are struggling to provide a good course but it’s just not ready for play. There’s little grass on the fairways or greens and the entire course needs reworking for ease of play and even finding the next hole. The clubhouse is gorgeous but the bar is only beer and wine and the kitchen isn’t in operation yet. It’s just not ready!!

First Time Playing

It Ready for Prime Time!

They are rebuilding at Sweetwater. They do not have a golf course architect - the course superintendent is instituting the changes. Many holes are beyond the reach for most women -even from the front tees. The layout is too haphazard - back and forth - you can’t find the tee block easily. The course is primarily poiana - not grass. They need more work and more time. The club house is stunning but not in operation yet. No liquor - no food. However it should be terrific when it’s ready.
I’ll try the course in a year or so.

Still fighting with those unattainable greens - the ones that sent back into the fairway at about a 60 degree angle !

My ball - which had landed on the Green - maybe 5” from the edge - rolled back 60 feet to the oak tree on #16! Frustrating!!!
Hoping rain and some grass seed will help to remedy the situation. I like this course but it keeps getting worse!

I usually enjoy playing this course but today, the group in front was so slow and so annoying that we actually did not finish the course.
I have never seen 3 men play so slowly. Did not hit their drives until the group ahead of them was at the green - and their drives were maybe 150 yards - at best!!!
I’m hoping this will not happen again. Sometimes they need to send out a Ranger.
Still I’ll go back because the staff is wonderful!

Trouble on the greens

First - I love this course - it’s a decent track with some wonderful holes. BUT most of the greens have become unplayable. They are so crowned up that no one’s ball will stay on the green for putting. So, unless you can chip in from the fairway- the ball is not going in the hole! We finally have started “ just add two strokes after you get on or to the green” instead of putting. I’ve played this course for years and it’s gotten worse!

Much improved

MDGC is a good standard on my list of courses to play. It has improved quite alot over the past 4 years. The new forward tees are really appreciated by me and my friends. The course is in pretty good shape . However, the rough is ridiculously hard!!! My partner lost 2 balls in the rough in one round!

Beautiful Course

The course is in excellent shape! I love the new cut style - certainly makes my play more enjoyable! The course looks beautiful. I really enjoy playing this course - unfortunately we were rained out on #15, but I’ll certainly go back!

The rough makes this interesting and fun course near impossible to play! It’s a great track but be prepared for a much higher than usual score! It’s still a humbling course!

New year - new improvements

The course is in impeccable shape! I love the new mow pattern - less rough - golf pace has improved significantly! Two for 18 holes - we finished in 3 hours!
If they can maintain the course as it was it’s gonna be a great place to play!
Kudos!!

Love it

I always love this course and even more after shooting a 91, which is a terrific score for someone usually in the 98-105 range.
As a snowbird, I’m leaving soon but will return to MDGC in the fall!

Great time

The “season” has ended and the crowds are gone! Playing golf ⛳️ is most enjoyable! The course has a great amount of grass in comparison to the other local courses making play much nicer! The layout is challenging. I’ve always liked this course. Can’t wait to return in the fall!

Love this course

MDGC has more grass than the other area courses! Obviously water is not an issue and that makes play so much nicer!

Still love this place!

I’ve played many times - but the first thing I noticed is - wow this course is grassy!! Having been in a drought in our area - I was amazed at the amount of green!!
Unfortunately - several t-boxes are terrible! # 6 has been moved - it’s not level - and awful to hit from for an Already tough par 5. There are many others that need big work! I’m hoping I’ll see some improvement when I return in the fall.
But I still love this place!!
