heavily wooded course. Did not have tee signs. With the short and long tees & the A and B pin locations makes this beginner friendly as well a good technical challenge for the intermediate to advance player. The course was a little muddy. So any kind of rain fall the day before might result in really muddy conditions. Very flat course. Good baskets. Wish they were not all green in color though. Makes it difficult to see in the woods.

Pros: It looks as through Sahm park is in a rebuild stage and transition. I heard it was originally a 9 hole course expanded to a new 18 hole layout. Only half of the holes, have concrete tees, the ot ... show more ›

Pros: It looks as through Sahm park is in a rebuild stage and transition. I heard it was originally a 9 hole course expanded to a new 18 hole layout. Only half of the holes, have concrete tees, the other half are all natural. Had a little difficulty navigating the course, never played there and few directional signs telling you where to turn. The baskets seem fairly new (Prodigy). The course is pretty flat and with no water holes. The wooded holes have tight lines, you will score well, just to break par. I liked that you will need a wide variety of shots to pick up the birdies. Lefties and righties will find that you will need a great backhand and forehand in the woods.

Cons: The course probably was in it's prime 20 years ago. The natural tees were a complete mud bog the day I played, the pads were wet and well worn. The lack of signage takes away much appeal for me. Nothing really exciting about this course as it can be kind of repetitive. The cement tee pads are uneven and many are cracked, thrower beware.

Other Thoughts: This is not one the greatest course I've ever played. But this is a really fun course that will only get better. This is worth a short trip out of your way to play. And when concrete and tee signs are added it would be a must play. Excellent job by the course designers taking the previously unused wooded section and adding 9 new holes. I look forward in the coming year to see this course mature and get finished by the local club and players.

Currently undergoing a redesign & build-out Sahm has 9 brand new Prodigy baskets, extended holes, alternate pin locations & 9 more holes being carved out of the wooded area. This historic course is getting a much deserved refresh thanks to a very motivated newer (& older) groups of club members @ The HDGU

The new wooded holes add some extra difficulty in length that transform the entire charm of the course. The new Prodigy baskets have also been a welcome upgrade. Over the last 5 years, this course has transformed from below average to one of my favorite courses in Marion County and the credit is entirely due to a few dedicated volunteers who saw the big picture and executed their plans.
