The quote towards the end of the story says that golfers should be steered towards either Hawthorne Hills or Colonial when in Lima. What a load. If you thought Sugar Creek was boring, then you do not want any part of the other two. Colonial has probably the prettiest hole in Lima (No. 6), but that's about it. And Hawthorne? Completely over-rated.
Sugar Creek got a bad rap in the story, and while some it rang true (the yardage markers on the sprinklers is non-existant), I don't believe this course is as horrible as it was made out to be. There are plenty of beautiful views and the golf is challenging enough.
Not the best, but no where near the worst.

I played sugarcreek on the 1st of july and thought after the bad review left on this site that they may try to fix some of the problems listed. I found this not to be the case. The GPS was not working and found that the yardage markings on the sprinkler heads was woofully lacking, well below the 50% that was listed in the site. Also one of my pet pevs is care for the bunkers. This also seems lacking. Granted the course had heavy rain the day before. I live in the lima area and if they don't address these and other problems the course will not see much play because we are blessed with a lot of courses in the area.
