Brief Description:
Sugar Tree is a Texas Outside favorite because of its condition, challenge, scenic beauty, variety, and value -- they don't come much better than Sugar Tree. Every hole is unique and presents it's own set of challenges which include doglegs, blind shots, rolling hills, very narrow approaches, creeks, bunkers, and natural hazards -- which make this a very fun course to play but you need to keep your patience!

Talk about course management and club selection -- this course demands it if you want to score well and you may have to play it twice before you can conquer this great golf course. In addition to variety and challenge, Sugar Tree is also one of the most scenic courses we have played - trees line all the fairways and there are waterfalls, small lakes, the Brazos river, rolling hills, and elevation changes with views of the surrounding country. In fact, the 12th hole, a 110 to 210 yard par 3, is one of the prettiest holes in Texas - elevated tee box, small lake, waterfalls, trees, stone terrace, and a water wheel and you need to stick right on the relatively small green or you'll be in trouble.

Most greens are big and rolling and in very good condition and the fairways are well groomed and in above average condition. Not only is this a fun, challenging, and pretty course, the value is outstanding at $49 for a course of this quality.
