Greens need work.

Course is still being deveoped. The price and availability reflect the conditions. Greens are not true...and make the whole course more challenging...almost unfair.

Greens are big challenge

Course is great! In really good shape! Pace of play is great! Everyone very friendly.

Greens are fast and very sloppy. They do not always roll true.

New .. Very Interest Green Constructs

Course is new. Going to be very good when it matures. Lots of newly planted trees. Didn't understand cutting all the native grass and scrub down; makes the place look ugly and cheap. Greens are a hoot; very rolly polly. Putts probably rolled at 10; if they rolled at 12 ... watch out! Lots of interesting holes. Overall ... a fun day.

Windy day

The greens are firm and super hard to putt.Wind made it extra hard to keep balls on green. Was also challenging on some holes, not able to see hazzards and thought we hit great drives. I look forward to playing again and hopefully not in the wind

Great Layout…..Greens Need at least a year to mature

Loved the layout and it is well maintained. The greens need at least another year to mature. The roll true but they are still so firm that it’s very difficult to hold a good approach shot.
I look forward to playing it again next spring.
Oh……and if you don’t want to play in the wind, make sure you get a morning tee time.

Greens and Tees hard as rock.

Course conditions were excellent… the greens are stupid. Hard , will not receive a ball ( at all ) and are ridiculous with so many crazy undulations. Looks fantastic but it quickly became goofy golf. 4 of us are single digit handicaps and we were all disappointed. This review is honest and not because any of us played poorly. It became silly when you have to play short of the green constantly. Greens and tees need to aerated big time. Could be a fun track otherwise. Wide open fairways that are conducive to the average golfer but a 2/10 on the greens.

Local people great, golfnow unavailable

Everything was great except one of our foursome had to cancel due to back problems. Tried to contact Golfnow and the message said it was inside the 24 hour window so too bad. The customer service people no longer take phone calls. The course accommodated us but Golfnow did not. There are other ways to get tee times so I'll try those.

Best in the VALLEY

This is the 4th time I have played Sterling Grove. Depending on the wind it is a completely new challenge every round. The tees, fairways and greens are perfect. Can't wait to play there again.

Not worth the money

$165 a person for a course where the first nine holes are surrounded by ongoing construction is ridiculous.maybe once everything is done it will be worth that kind of money but for now I would pay more than $75 to play here again.

Hello,

Thank you for the review. Our apologies for the home construction occuring between and around the holes. We hope you'll try us again in a year or so when the construction is reduced.

Great course

Great golf course. Nice layout good speed on greens, greens maybe a little hard had one 6 iron hit on top of ridge on par 3 at front third of green next bounce was 5 yards over back of green. But a nice course have already recommended and will play again. Mens locker room sensational. Didn’t get chance to check out restaurant

Hello,

Thanks for playing Sterling Grove and we appreciate the feedback. We expect the greens will continue to soften as the course ages. - Ryan S.

Great course

This is a very new club house nice design, the mens locker room one of the nicest, there are I think 4 putting courses for members to play a game on. The practice range has flags with greens and bunkers around so you can get great feel for length. Wide fairways for driving but plan your club off the tee with what club you want to approach with on the shorter par 4’s. Greens were very hard this might be my only criticism. But were good speed for putting. A nice mix of longer and shorter holes. Pick your length carefully the wind came up on back nine for us so played much longer
