Disappointing Say

Course needs a lot of work. Specificaly, the fairways and tees needed to be mowed badly. Greens were okay, but there were bad spots in every green.

Course has improved since last Fall, but it needs to improve a lot more. Greens are better but not great. Sand traps are totally unplayable.

Nice December Day for Golf

Course was very wet which was expected. For December in Alabama, the course was in decent shape except the sand traps. Greens were in good shape.

Beautiful Day

Course was extremely wet, but that was to be expected. As a result, the Course played very long. Greens were in good shape for the most part. The course has made recent efforts to make the greens more firm which is good.

Extremely Disappointed

Greens are awful not just the temporary green on the first hole. Course should be closed until greens can be fixed and that will take many weeks. Do not waste your money.

My name is Steve and manage the marketing at Saddle Creek Golf Club. I know it has been several months since you posted this review, but I wanted to ask if you would be willing to re-review our course in the coming weeks? We have made so many changes from improvements to the greens, fairways, tee boxes and sand traps. We also have changed leadership and we now have a great General Manager in Brandon Jones. I wanted to ask if we gave you a FREE round would you be willing to check out these improvements yourself?

Too hot for golf

Greens are in HORRIBLE shape. Course is going to redo the greens in the near future. Sand traps are in bad condition. Everything else was okay. I can NOT recommend this course until the greens are renovated. I was very disappointed. I believe that the course will have to be closed for awhile to fix the greens. I got a pretty good deal on Golfnow, but it was still not worth the drive.

Golf course is in superb condition. Great design. However, the rack rate is MUCH TOO HIGH, but the course is walkable if you want to do so.

Greens are unacceptable

The Course other than the greens is in really good shape, but the course has gone downhill since I played three months ago. The greens have been taken over by crows feet. They are absolutely awful. Also, the greens are very soft which apparently keeps the green staff from cutting the holes properly. I can NOT recommend this course at this time. Golfnow should put out a warning on their website. My advice is to play somewhere else until the greens are fixed.

Course is in very good condition except for some of the sand traps. It is a well designed golf course with some very intimidating shots.

Golf with my dad

Course is in good shape. Greens, tees and fairways are in excellent shape. However, the sand traps are AWFUL. They are totally unplayable. We played on Tuesday. The course is closed for maintenance on Monday. Apparently, that does NOT include sand traps. Also, the course is priced at least 20 percent too high. This FACT may account for the lack of business.

Frustrating day

Management was rude. I should have left , but I prepaid for the round. Greens were like concrete. Several sand traps were unplayable. Course does not have 150 yard markets. It also does not have a flag system of any kind. Basically it is impossible to know your distance unless you have a range finder. It was a complete waste of money. I played Crdar Crest the day before. It was a better course and much niicet people. My advice to Indian Hills is to water the greens and put in some yardage markers.

Fun round of golf

Nice course. Good value as a HOT DEAL rate. Ongoing improvements in parts of the course. Greens putted to slow in my opinion. Back nine is very tight on some of the holes.

Interesting golf course

Tees, fairways and sand traps were in very good shape. Greens were in decent shape, but they needed to be mowed and rolled to smooth them out and increase their speed. Also, many greens had dead spots around the edges of the greens that need to be addressed immediately.

Beautiful day for golf

Very quirky golf course. Local knowledge would have helped me a lot. The greens were decent, but the fairways were awful. They were as bad as I have ever seen. For that reason, I can not recommend this course.
