Sawmill Creek just prior to resort re-opening

first 11 holes were immaculate, then into the marshy area and due to the huge rains recently not quite as good. Challenging greens, nice wide fairways, deep rough. Carts are excellent! Service was excellent.

Sawmill making a comeback

Great course again and on its way for a comeback. Only recommendation would be to add a combo set of tees. Whites at 6300 too long and gold tees at 5700 too short. Just add a mixture to the card would be an easy fix.

Tough course

Course is very hard to score on greens are in great shape but fast and hard need a little water. Course seems to be getting better. My only complaint is cost of food at the turn 8 bucks for a hot dog which was not special in any way. Would play again.

Thank You Cedar Fair

The changes that the Ownership of Cedar Fair have brought are evident from the road,the new landscaped entrance to a new sign that speaks of a top notch golf course,the fairways are in great shape,the greens are FAST and they have just received NEW golf carts that look and ride like,well brand new carts! I am impressed with this course and the transformation of this course and it's still so early in the vision Cedar Fair has for the golf course and the Resort,I have played here for years,and it has NEVER looked better. BRAVO!!

This course was very we maintained

The course over met our expectations.. We played the back nine so it wouldn't be as crowded.. We were the only golfers other then the greens workers. As soon as we entered the parking lot and got out of the car, someone brought us a cart right to our car.. everything was new. The greens were fast. It was only my second round of golf..I didn't do that bad

A great course on the shore of Lake Erie

Sawmill Creek is a big course situated on Lake Erie. When the winds are from the north you can hear the roar of the waves. The greens are huge, undulating and can be very fast. It used to be a much more open course but now the trees have matured and there is a premium on accuracy off the tee. There are a few signature holes, most notably the par-3 7th and the par-5 number 12. This course will require you to hit most of the clubs in your bag. There are several tee boxes to suit any golfers abilities. It has been taken over by Cedar Point, a large corporation with deep pockets, so I'm assuming the course will get even better over time. I am blessed to live 5 minutes away!
