Customer Comes Last

I saw they have early morning deals and I teed off a little after 6 am. The front 9 went great but when I got to 10 there was a high school team teeing off. Tried playing through but there were 5 groups on 10 and 11. Ended up skipping to 12 and a couple holes later ran into more groups they sent off the back. Total cash grab. Offer a deal and then send out more groups than there are tee times. Shame on them.

Going Downhill Fast

I used to love this course. Not anymore. I play early mornings but I've never seen the sprinklers on, and it shows. Fairways and some greens are burned out. Tee boxes are on a tilt. They charge weekend rates on Friday. The 11th senior tee box sums it up. There are weeds growing up on the front edge that you have to hit through because they are too lazy to trim them. I can't believe people are paying $62 to play here!! Very sad.

DO NOT GO ON A WEEKEND!!

5 1/2 hours to play 18 on Sunday. They were charging $54 and giving tee times every 8 minutes. I told the clubhouse that there were fivesomes teeing off at the 1st hole and they did nothing about it. Every hole had two groups waiting to tee off when we arrived. Made for a miserable experience. The course was in good shape but we couldn't enjoy it. Many golfers said they were leaving early and asking for a raincheck.

Long But Fun

Still one of the nicest courses around. Recently aerated so greens are bumpy. At least 3 par 4's should be made par 5's. They are unreachable in 2. Pace wasn't bad for a Sunday.

Which Par 4's? It sounds like you should be playing from tee's that are further up. The Tips aren't even 7k and their are 5900, 6100, and 6600 tees.

Pretty good but WAYYYY Overpriced

Course is in pretty good shape. They even put in some new cart paths. 18th green was shut down and they stuck a flag in the fairway. Similar courses in the area are charging a reasonable $35 on the weekend but these guys are asking $58!! It baffles me as to why with all the play courses are getting they feel the need to charge these ridiculous prices.. Maybe that's why there were only 8 cars in the parking lot on a Sunday. If you can find a Hot Deal check it out, otherwise do some shopping.

Chiropractor's Dream

I've played this course many times and used to recommend it. I don't know what happened over the winter but the cart paths are horrendous. Even creeping along the chuck holes were unending and back breaking. It was wet so we couldn't drive on the grass and afterwards I had to ice my back. They get a lot of play so hopefully they will put some money back into the paths and I can recommend it again.

Not bad for March

Course is in decent shape for the winter. Greens started out very slow but got faster on the back nine. Lots of debris on the greens and branches in the rough but that is pretty common at this time of the year. Only 10 cars in the parking lot so the pace was great.

Swamp

I used to recommend this course to everyone. That will stop now. Their drainage system is a disaster. Standing water on most every hole after at least 2 days without heavy rain. They built a wall of dirt last year on number 12 but apparently not high enough. There were balls in the fairway you couldn't even reach with a ball retriever because the "puddles" were so large. I've seen a few courses reinvesting the windfall profits they have been enjoying since the pandemic but Sawmill is not one of them. Very sad.

Do not play when wet

I usually like this course but I forgot how bad it gets when wet. It has very poor drainage so I recommend you wait for dryer weather.

Member for a day

I spent more than usual to take advantage of a hot deal at a private course. The first two holes were underwhelming but then I got to third fairway and that's when the quality improved. Many of the fairways were like a lush green carpet. Some of my divots were huge but when I replaced them they fit like a glove. I never did get used to how fast and smooth the greens were so I ended up shooting my highest score this year. However, it wasn't the course's fault, it was all my three-putts. All in all, a very enjoyable round.

Excellent choice

Do yourself a favor and check this course out. Minimal hazards and forgiving fairways. Shorter holes make for a better score. Large greens that roll true. All that and one of the friendliest staffs you'll ever find.

Top form

Fast greens and best rough I've played this year. I have been losing a lot of balls in the thick roughs so far this year but I finally found a course that is cutting them. Best tip I can give is assume the greens are flat and straight if you aren't sure. Most of them are.

Bumpy greens

I've played Fowlers Mill many times and this was by far the worst the greens have ever been. It was obvious that they had been aerated about a week ago so I will give them another try later this year. They should tell you when you make a tee time about the aeration. I booked on Golfnow but the guys I played with reserved a tee time by phone and they were very upset nobody told them. Also, the carts have scorecards on them already but when I finished the first hole I found out it was for the wrong 9.

You get what you pay for

Rough is very thick but that is common right now. Greens are slow and bumpy. Fairways are below average. Basically, an average local course that you play for the price.

Links style course in mid-season form

The nicest course I played this year. Greens are fast and true. Fairways are cut perfect. Rough is pretty thick. Most of the sandtraps were groomed but a little on the hard side. Costs a little more than I usually like to pay but you definitely get what you pay for.

Wait a month

I love playing Hinckley Hills. The elevation changes and course layout make it a must-play. That being said, you should probably wait until at least mid-May to see the course in better shape. Right now the rough is so thick I lost 3 balls that just disappeared. The fairways are pretty thick too and the sand traps are very bad. The greens were slow and bumpy after a recent aeration but are usually much better. So give them a few weeks to get in mid-season form and I'll bet you'll be glad you waited. In the meantime, I have played Chenoweth, Paradise Lake, Cossett Creek, Deer Pass, and Astorhurst in the last few weeks and they are all in very good shape.

Go there now!

Paradise Lake is once again my favorite course to play. It's closer than you think and even though it's April, the course is in great condition. The people are always friendly and that includes both the workers and the patrons. It is seldom very busy and the price is always right. What more can ask for?
