For the folks in the Houston area, any input? Relatively new to the SL golf scene.

Everything I hear is that Riverbend is better course/locker room but busier/harder to get on while Sugar Creek is more family oriented and less crowded given the extra 9. Is that assessment accurate? I know initiation and monthly fees for both.

I’ve looked at old posts but I think Sugar Creek has undergone renovations since then. Planning to decide in the next few weeks, any insights appreciated.

Fair assessments, if you're a better player and like games I think Riverbend is the way to go.

Riverbend by a long shot IMO.

Nothing against Sugarcreek, but Riverbend makes you use every club in your bag and will make you a better player.


Every time that I have played there the members were great.

Haven't played there since covid, but the locker room was always a blast with great food and drinks.

There use to be a group called the Bub's Group, they always had a block of tee times and they played great games. I played there every Friday afternoon.

If I could get my group to join there, I would in a minute.

A group of us was at Sweetwater for a year and left.

To be honest, I met more jerks than good guys.

Grew up on Sugar Creek golf course from “70 to “72. Amazing it’s still an option after 50 years of Houston growth.

Played there quite often 15+ years ago when Jim Murphy was there.

I'd say Sugarcreek is great for families and Riverbend is a Golf Club.
