Clay pits.

Overall good day. Glad the 2-3 greens that were unplayable earlier in the season have been fixed but the bunkers are atrocious they are not sand it’s hard clay.

South Shore Golf Course

I had a very enjoyable round at this golf course. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, which set the tone for a great day. The course conditions were good overall, with well-maintained fairways and greens that played true.

The layout is enjoyable and offers a nice mix of holes that keep the round interesting without being overly challenging. Pace of play was fair, allowing us to move around the course comfortably without significant delays.

Overall, it’s a well-kept course with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and an enjoyable layout. I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for a pleasant day of golf.

Excellent muni

Have played this course a few hundred rounds, course conditions were amazing, greens smooth as silk. Pace of play a bit if an issue, teed off late as they do t have enough carts. The only major improvement needed is the cart paths, pretty much all 18 holes serious repair. Or better yet total replacement. Grill food is more than adequate.

Excellent greens and fairways

Been playing here for over 20 years, my favorite course on SI. now that the 11th 12th and 14th Green are open the greens are incredible. Best I’ve seen them in years. Fairways are great too. Most of the white tee boxes are worn out. Using GolfNow pass + prices are great.

Greatly improved

In past years the course was in a bit of disarray. Since new management has taken over, the course overall, has been very well taken care of and improved. Underbrush has been cleaned and removed, fairways a thick and full and the greens are in excellent condition. I've been playing this course for over 30 years and I haven't seen it in such fantastic shape.

It’s been a while

They have done an awesome job of redoing the greens and fixing the bunkers. This 2026 is going to be a great year at south shore. Great job !!!

Improved conditions

Been playing here for over 20 years. Played here a few weeks ago and the greens and fairways are great. Much improved. Yesterday I played on a Friday so the greens on 12 and 14 have temps. I heard they’re open on the weekends. Having Golfpass + helps with costs. Definitely worth it with reduced fees. As always, there’s no Rangers pushing slow players had a group of four teenagers in front of us probably first time playing, walking and they were all over the place, losing their phone. Etc.
