What to Check Before Playing a Round at The Sawmill Golf Club

Updated

The Sawmill Golf Club is a championship course in Saginaw, Michigan, at 19 Sawmill Blvd, and the site lists the practical items you need before booking: a rates page, a hole-by-hole course guide, practice facilities, instruction, a pro shop, membership, outings, and a Pub & Grill. The site does not publish specific green fees, tee-time booking rules, or Pub & Grill hours in the material available, so confirm those directly before you go. Call (989) 793-2692 or email [email protected].

Confirm the Details the Site Doesn't Publish

The homepage navigation includes Rates, but no dollar figures appear in the available page content. Treat pricing as something to verify rather than assume. The same applies to tee times: no online booking system is described, so the phone number is the reliable route for reserving a slot and asking about peak vs. off-peak pricing.

What to confirm Why it matters How to check
Green fees and cart costs Not listed on the site Call (989) 793-2692 or check the Rates page
Tee time availability No online booking described Call the club directly
Pub & Grill hours Not published; events are announced on social media Call or check the Facebook feed
Outing or league dates Course may be busy on event days Check the Event Calendar before picking a date

Plan Around the Course and Practice Areas

The site describes a championship layout with a Hole by Hole guide split into Front 9 and Back 9, which is worth reading before your first round to understand the routing. Practice Facilities and Instruction are both listed as separate sections, so if you want to warm up or take a lesson, ask when you call whether either needs to be scheduled in advance.

For groups, the club positions itself as a venue for company and family outings and promotes "superb course conditions" plus friendly service. If you're organizing more than a foursome, start with the Outings page and the Event Calendar rather than booking individual tee times.

Know What's On-Site Beyond Golf

The Pub & Grill offers a full bar, local beers, and craft cocktails, seated just feet from the course — a reasonable option for a post-round meal or a pre-round meetup. The club also runs social events; recent Facebook posts advertised a "Sawmill Feud" game night on Saturday, November 7 at 5:30 PM, $5 per person, with reservations taken by phone. Events like this can fill the Pub, so call ahead if you're planning to eat there on an event night.

The Pro Shop is listed in the main navigation, useful for checking equipment or merchandise needs, and Membership is a separate section if you're considering regular play rather than a single round.

A Simple Pre-Visit Checklist

  1. Read the Hole by Hole guide for the Front 9 and Back 9.
  2. Call (989) 793-2692 to confirm rates, cart policy, and a tee time.
  3. Ask whether practice facilities or instruction require advance booking.
  4. Check the Event Calendar and Facebook feed for outings or Pub events on your date.
  5. If bringing a group, contact the club about outing arrangements instead of booking separately.
