My wife and I enjoyed having the chance to play Sugar Loaf The Old Course again. Course was in really good condition and the thinning of the trees around 14 and 15 really opened up some great views. The service from your staff was top notch from check-in, to getting a snack at the turn, and finally the cart service (our golf cart low battery indicator started flashing in the middle of the 11th fairway so I called the pro shop and was greeted with a new cart before we got to the 11th green). We enjoyed our brief stay and hope to be back soon.

Not the place to play if you drive the ball 100yds left or right, but a great course with great people and with the new sprinkler system this year might be the sleeper of the year (don't raise the rates again, Brad).

Our group had a very frustrating experience at this golf course. For the first two holes, there was…read morea light drizzle, but the rain became a deluge and we were all drenched by the end of the first nine holes. We checked and the prior weather forecast had changed and heavy rain was expected for the remainder of the day. The manager refused to issue our group rain checks for the additional nine holes that we couldn't play. Another nearby course (Mistwood) closed for the day (Yes, I checked). We didn't understand or agree with their policy of not issuing rain checks. Some of the group vowed to never play there again. As for me, I won't even consider playing there if there is any chance of rain, whatsoever. Not a friendly course in that regard.

The course is gorgeous and super nice. Nice fairways. Nice greens. Not very challenging but fun…read more The only reason I took away stars is because they over book. Like most nice golf courses they just want to make as much money as possible. Our tee time was at :10. By :12 there was a group standing behind us. To me if you get there early the starter should hold you back so your not right on some one. Not many people like to play with a crowd watching them or people standing there talking. Sign said cart girl was working that day but we never saw one.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with a large group (8 kids & 8 adults). We called ahead to…read morereserve 3 bowling lanes at 11AM, we were there when the doors opened. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I was very impressed with how clean and new everything looked. They have a LOT in a small space - 2 axe throwing lanes, 4 duck pin bowling lanes, arcade games (mostly claw games, a basketball game, VR, & motorcycle game), an escape room, and a bar. We were the first guests so it was nice to have the place to ourselves. Bowling was fun but it's pretty tight around the lanes - 3 tables set up near them, our group took up the whole space. We were disappointed to see the bar not open, so we had to walk to the bar on the other side of the lobby to get drinks. Since it really isn't an arcade that you can play games and win prizes or tickets, it was a disappointing for our little kids. Especially since there are a lot of claw games and they are hard to win - only 1 out of 8 kids won a prize (and all the adults were trying, too). It's a small space, so when it starts getting busy - it's cramped. Also, I would say it's pretty pricey. Lane rental was expensive for 1 hour, I notice how $$ the axe throwing was, too. Arcade credits are $$, too. We spent $50 within 30 min btw two kids. Not a bad place to check out with kids in the winter to get a break from the cold.

Nice, clean, but the prices are a too high per game and the bar is NEVER open when I go. They also…read moreneed some more games and get some new games. They have had the exact same games since they opened. Change it up, rotate some new games in and out. Ive been a few times and it's a bit stale. The last time I went we the bar was closed as usual and I asked the one staff member if I could bring food in from the restaurant in the hotel. He didn't care if I did, but he had no clue on how I would make that or drinks happen. Basically said it was up to me to make it happen and walk down to the restaurant in the hotel if I wanted anything. It would have been nice if he could have called it in for me and had them bring it over to the Den. Kids get bored very quick. The bowling is just ok. You play 5 frame games, and it's like candle stick bowling. The pins are on strings. They do have ax throwing, that's fun. They didn't really suggest how to play or keep score, but it's still fun throwing an ax. All it all it's and ok place but they could improve it with some more care/attention/customer service.
