This course far exceeds expectations overall. We were maybe a few minutes late for our tee time and…read morethe response was slightly more abrasive than necessary for "up-north" golf. However, once that was smoothed out our group really enjoyed the round. There are many great views, an open layout, several elevated tees, and well maintained greens. It is the right amount of challenging without being frustrating. The ranger was diligent in trying to maintain some space between groups. Also, a nice set up for food and drinks with friendly staff and even picked up a nice new polo from the pro shop.

My wife and I enjoyed having the chance to play Sugar Loaf The Old Course again. Course was in really good condition and the thinning of the trees around 14 and 15 really opened up some great views. The service from your staff was top notch from check-in, to getting a snack at the turn, and finally the cart service (our golf cart low battery indicator started flashing in the middle of the 11th fairway so I called the pro shop and was greeted with a new cart before we got to the 11th green). We enjoyed our brief stay and hope to be back soon.

It was also really fun that my husband and I got to play both rounds by ourselves, which almost never happens, so bonus!! The Bootleegger Bar is such a fun spot on the property - really enjoyed having a drink out there! We stayed in their lodge. The accommodations were adequate, but in need of an update. It's a beautiful secluded property, and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again, but the lodge rooms need some "vision". The staff were very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. The pro shop is great! Whoever does their buying is doing an amazing job!! :).

Everything closed early our entire trip due to them being slow and not being able to justify the employee expense is what we were told. Food came out cold and took forever to get to the table.

It has that up north feel you expect of nicer resort courses and fantastic staff. The course is very well maintained. The front and back play like totally different courses (rolling meadows vs heavy forest). The clubhouse has a nice intimate feel and they offer cooler bags at no extra cost. Highly recommend!
