Southampton City - 18-hole Course

Played the 18 hole that circles the 9 hole in the centre. Overall this course was quite a surprise with some lovely elevated tees, interesting holes with blind hazards at times a challenging layout. I would have scored the overall a 4 if the greens had been maintained. They are the worst I have played on and look like they had alopecia and in some cases had been carpet bombed. Added to this the grass was double the length of anything I had played on previously. This significantly reduced a potential good score as you would have to be a genius to pick a line on a 9ft put and expect to sink the ball.

I guess this is reflected in the low green fees but what a shame as the course has so much potential if they just put some effort in here.

Southampton Municipal Golf Course had always been a local favourite & rarely disappoints. The Course is great value for money & in good condition

A great test of golf for the time of year.

Would definitely recommend

Challenging course, given recent weather greens great condition. would recomend playing here, will be playing again.

course was in good condition slightly different to they're time i played with some of the rough either side of the fairways being longer than last time

greens was very slow not sure if it was the green spray they covered all greens with or was a bit long but overall was good

Course was in really good condition and the greens were amazing (hats off to the green keepers). You can’t get a better round of golf for the price.

First the positive, this is a great course with some excellent holes.

Now the negatives, the condition of the course is very average and reflects a significant level of under investment. Many of the tee boxes are uneven and very rough, on two holes there are mats which do not see to have any clear holes to insert tees.

The greens have recently been worked on for aeration and the lines meant putting was affected, in addition on some of the greens the grass was very long. There was also marks on a number of the greens where some vandals had done doughnuts with a motorbike.

If the course had lots of investment it could be so good, sadly this is unlikely to ever happen!

Can't grumble too much with the price of £25 but I played paultons the day before for £30 that was a different league completely. Long slow greens bunkers like concrete and to be off mats for two holes in may wasn't fun

Played here in April, early tee off on a weekday. Fully briefed on the condition of the course and greens by the gentleman behind the counter. Yes the greens had been sanded quite heavily but were actually running pretty well, given that most of February was a write off for the green keepers, I felt that this was fair. Only downside was that a couple of the greens and been damaged by idiots on electric bikes doing doughnuts, not the course teams fault and the only reason I haven’t given them 5 stars.

A pretty course which can challenge a high handicapper!

The rough could be a little shorter result in fewer lost balls and faster play

The greens had been recently plugged making them slow and challenging.

But it is great value.

Course was in ok condition, greens were a bit long and uneven but it was great value at £20

Never played before. I would imagine great spring/summer/autumn. We have had a lot of rain so pretty wet. However greens and fairways could do with a cut.

Greens were okay, fairways extremely dry and hard, but to be fair most courses are. Good layout, a good challenging course with several long par 4's. Only gripe was the pace of play, extremely slow. Maybe would have helped if there was a Marshall driving around

The course was really well set out with some amazing holes. Great club house. The only thing that let it down was the greens. Not very good.

I've played the good old Muni many years on and off and have to say that it's in the worst condition I've ever seen.

Fairways look like farmers fields, greens are bare and patchy and the tees are lumpy and overgrown. It's quite obvious that the council aren't putting any money into the course and it's overall condition is worse than when they PlayGolf owners had it. The council need to hold their heads in shame because at this rate nobody is going to play there and at £27.50 for 18 holes better value for money can easily be found elsewhere.

I love the municipal,,,, it’s a testing course,,,,, very “ park life”,,,

Everyone is playing from chavs to millionaires,,

Course was great,, tees,, fairways etc,,, greens were shocking,,,

Just about playable,,,, but still great value imo,

Play was slow as to expected ,,, lots of beginners but good fun,,
