Sahm Golf Course

Only one or two challenging holes. Course was very dry

If you are looking for a long challenging course, go elsewhere. Sahm is a great course for sneaking in a quick round and knocking off some rust. This an extremely scoreable course, with Par 5's that are reachable in 2 and a couple driveable par 4's. It is pretty cool to say you played Pete Dye's first 18-hole design, but don't expect it to be similar to his more recent layouts. Lots of open space, so despite short length, you can knock your driver around all day if you so please. About as good a value as you can find in the Indy area.

The course has a nice layout with surprisingly fast greens. You can easily go low on this course with its short length. Fairways and rough are decently maintained, however the bunkers aren't anything I recommend hitting out of.
They do not enforce pace of play. Ran into a foursome holding up the entire front 9 behind them. Claimed they had too many people want to play through and that we could wait or skip the hole, but they refused to let us play through. I guess thats what you get for playing a muni.

Very nice well manicured course. Course was very busy 1:15 start time. Got stuck behind 2 groups of slow players making for a lot of wait time.

We went late on a Saturday morning, so we expected some slow play.

What we encountered was just way to slow. Some tees we had to wait 5-10 minutes to tee off. We could never get in a rhythm of hitting shots, always hit and wait.

The back nine there was a single adult playing and on most fairways he let his young son hit. The son did ok, but it still added to the slow pace.

It's the 2nd time I played, first was on labor day. (expected slow play that day)

The front nine was fairly flat and not a lot of trouble. The greens were pretty flat too. The back nine had a lot more trouble and the greens had a lot more slope

Billed as Pete Dye's first 18 hole layout, but don't let that fool you. This is a wide open golf course with small greens, and very little sand or water. The rough is not very penal and the fairways run hard and fast.

As advertised on every review source, pace of play here is pretty awful. Otherwise decent layout, pretty good condition, enjoyable course for sure. Greens are very true to Pete Dye style. Even someone with a solid short game (unlike me) will have a tough time around and on the greens. I would go back for sure, you just have to manage your expectations and prepare for a 4.5 - 5 hour round. The price is certainly fair for what you get.

Ever since this course has been taken over by the city of Indianapolis it has gone down hill. The greens are poor and the fairways are the same as the rough just cut a little shorter. The cart paths are in shambles, but it is still a neat course with some challenging holes. Highly recommend for beginners, but there are better courses in the area for the equal price.

Nice wide open Golf Course located not far from fashion mall

They do not break people up enough. It took us 4.5 hours to get through TWELVE holes! That is not okay. Three groups in front of us that were waiting on groups in front of them!

They do not adhere to their 15 minutes. They load walk-ins in between scheduled players! Money grab, for sure.

Will only be playing early AM on this course. Sad.

The only draw back I saw was.....there were 2 guys playing in front of us and we had to wait 5 to 10 mins each hole, I kept looking around for the field marshal and didn't see one all day, those. 2 guys didn't care that they held not just us 2 up but the people behind us too. Please work on having someone out there to make sure that people are keeping up with the pace.

Pace of play was a little slow but other than that I enjoy playing the course

Have played here for over 20 years. It was in good shape. Pace of play good. A great course for a beginner.

This was not our first time as it says in the review; we never got to the course due to lack of customer service. My husband and I came in on 7/4/2016 to see what was in the golf shop and learn about golf lessons. Matt Nikirk could not have been more rude to us. We got so frustrated that we asked for the manager's contact information. Matt went out of his way to walk into my husband while getting a pen. Seriously, I cannot imagine acting like he did to customers and expect to keep my job. It's such a disappointment to be treated like that.

For the price coming here is not worth it. Took 5.5 hours for 18. Had to wait for every shot. There are other courses for less that are nicer and pace is faster
