First time playing and will definitely be back. The 30 mph winds made it extremely difficult. Other than the slow foursome ahead, it was a good day.

Just a GEM!!!

Imagine a course that plays well if you hit your clubs like you should, greens that roll like they should, and a GROUNDS CREW that worked through the winter for you...there you have it...
Wish i could be able to play this course in season, it will be magnificent...your biggest challenge will be to not get too greedy with some shots...the fish will be waiting along the ponds and streams you will see add to the course and its challenges...could use better signage transitioning from hole to hole, but you will see a number of both dimes sized greens to larger greens...putts rolled on line...

If you see this and live within an hours drive, do so...nice to have a NON MAT driving range as well...

Like all courses, do pay close attention to the WEATHER MOHTER NATURE delivers before you play since it does have streams and ponds...

ENJOY!!!

A driver and 3 wood

AN ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY since it is part of the Blackberry Teail of courses inside of Tennessee

Driver and 3 woods…will be needed for spacious fairways and to fly over water hazards… the two “lost” balls were sent swimming due to not enough club

The work the Groundskeeper and his crew have done warrant a raise and bonus for the massive progress made to bring the course to its current level from what it was just three short years ago

Greens are dime sized and need precision chips… greens were soft enough to bring out divot tools for the greens… putts ran true and fast… even after the massive rains over the past weeks

For the summer play bring extra water and sunscreen since there is little shade likely

Nice range(grass) and putting areas and super welcoming staff

Definitely worthy of a trip and will be on to do list next time visiting family in Tn

Nice course

Rebuilding 2 greens, otherwise the other greens all in good shape. Course is sneaky difficult, with some easy holes, but others are filled with an assortment of hazards. Roughs are relatively easy to play out of. Nice course for the money.

A golf course out in the country

Nothing special. Course conditions rough especially since the greens were recently aerated. Pace of play okay with many singles and duos flying through the course. Overall good course layout and value but nothing special to rave about. FYI hole 1 is supposed to be a par 5 but the green was in such bad shape that they cut out a green in the middle of the fairway and is less than 400 yards. A hot deal is the only reason I would come here

u314161632598,

We appreciate you playing our beautiful course. We are far from "Nothing special" even though we are having a difficult time with the green on #1. We have consulted with many experts in the business and are on the right track to fixing this green.

The front 9 is more of a traditional style course and the back 9 is similar to a links style. It brings the feeling of playing two separate golf courses. Our practice facilities are easily among the best in the Middle TN area.

We hope to see you back soon!

Thank you,

Saddle Creek Golf Club

kdawg3284,

Thank you for playing SCGC. Aeriation is a normal process and this particular aerification we did was the best we have had. We are almost fully healed up. We are rolling them this week to smooth them out more. "Greens r rough" is a misguiding statement. #1 green is being re-sodded in the next week. #1 is the only green we have had issues with. The 17 other greens are in great shape.

Thank you,

SCGC
