Not up to Par
Course is a nice layout but maintenance is just OK. There were so many Canadian Geese on the course ands their droppings that it took away from the round. I know Cedar Point bought the course and the price is not cheap but at this time I can not recommend playing it. I was looking forward to returning but probably not this year.
Subpar Maintenance
This course could be absolutely beautiful and one of the better ones in the are, the Maintenance was just simply lacking, greens and fairways weren’t in great shape.
SawMill Making Improvements
First, Cedar Point has purchased Sawmill Creek Resort & golf course, and is investing heavily into the entire property. I can only comment on the course, to which they are working daily on the drainage for specific holes #12-16. Lake Erie water level has been high over the past couple years, and turned the Hallway Hole #12 to unplayable for much of a season. The greens are some of the largest I play on, so avoiding a 3putt is miraculous. The layout is awesome, 4 great Par3s, and depending on wind conditions, your score can be affected greatly. Keep the ball in-play, avoid 3-jacks, and you'll have a great day @ SawMill Creek. Thanx to GolfNow for the Hot Deals Special, as I always enjoy a round @ Sawmill Creek.
Must play again!
Loved it... great location and conditions. Impressive facility, i hope the new owners find a way to keep it affordable.
course
this course is long seems like the winds always coming off the lake I love the greens love the fairways it’s a great course to play
Very Very Nice
Nice greens and fairways. Abby was truly kind, informative, and super pleasant. Thanks course was great!
Bad manners
When we arrived they told us the back 9 was closed. I called the course earlier in the day to add a player and they never bothered to tell me. 45 minute drive. Luckily we were able to get out on another course close by. I've played this course several times and something always goes wrong. Skip it and play the other courses near by for a lot less money!
What happened?
I have played this course many times in the past and the current conditions are nowhere near what they need to be. This is a great Fazio design that deserves better. They need to do something soon before its too late.
Don’t waste your time
No beverage cart, no one in the “club house” to get a drink from, no drinkable water on the course, place let’s 8 some play, the course was either a swamp concrete or no grass, cart had a bad axle, I don’t have anything positive to say about the course other than it could be a decent place if they fixed a lot of the issues mentioned
Very good experience
Very good George Fazio course. Recent flooding made the conditions a bit rough although the greens were great
Course was fine bring your own water no beverage cart or water on course
Challenging
Understandably very wet due to heavy rain day before. Although fairways very playable. Concern traps in poor condition with weeds & lack of sand. Greens good.
Soggy SawMill on Memorial Day
Sawmill Creek is a wonderful course, with some of the largest greens you will ever play. This Memorial Day was a beautiful afternoon, but the previous rains left puddles in Fairways & roughs. They probably should have been CPO, but we're glad they didn't, and we were careful to avoid the wet spots. Greens were slow (compared to their normal speed), rough high & most sand bunkers need help, but again due to weather of previous week. ProShop staff very pleasant, even when playing on a GN Hot Deals (substantial discount from rack rate). The restaurant doesn't open till June 1. Course played long, especially with no roll-out as many shots plugged; a good long-ball player would have scored well today (throwin' darts). No wind today, and pace-o-play our 2some was awesome. Can't wait to play again, soon!
