First Time Playing

Pretty good!

After years of reading mostly negative reviews, I finally decided to give South Shore a try and I was pleasantly surprised. The general course conditions were acceptable. While some tee boxes were lacking grass and the greens on 12 and 14 were in rough shape, the course overall was very playable. For the price, I really have no complaints. I’ll probably make the 40-minute drive again to play it another time this season.

What happened to back 9 ??

Playing earlier this summer I noticed a pleasant improvement in the course. Fast forward a few weeks the back 9 has its same old deplorable conditions. Water issues , wasp infestation and unplayable greens. The new owners have obviously made efforts to upgrade and maintain the course Hopefully this can get these issues , mostly on the back 9 , corrected.

1 of the green was in very bad shape i think it was due to vandalism

Over course was Ok. It was very slow, and we had to skip a hole to speed things up

Needs a major extermination

I’ve gone to this course off and on over the past five years. I keep hoping that they will do something about the wasp infestation. Two holes it’s impossible to put because they are swarming the bunkers. Another two holes have similar conditions. If management reads this post, please figure something out.

Best round of my life.. Greens are amazing

Been playing here for over 30 years, today I shot 72 from the white tees at 61 years old. 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.

Haven’t played here since last year and was very impressed of the greens and fairways. Best I’ve seen the greens ever.

Beautiful!! 12th green is still nearly unputtable with those hornets or whatever they are. Also 11th green is burnt out.

Minor issues when the rest of the course was awesome

Stephen DiBari.

Aerated Green Warning

Nice course. I’ve played it a few times. This day there were several aerated greens that were bad. Somewhere along the line we should have been warned. If you aerate in the summer, give a few dollars off of your round.

I fell back in love

Once upon a time, South Shore was the beauty on the island, it was forgiving , easy to play with, comforting when you were depressed over a poor hit ... a perfect mate.

Then suddenly was attracted to by parties from the event hall, every weekend was abused. It suddenly became ugly.

But now, after many years, shes in rehab, her inner beauty has returned

Feel good to play, forgiving rough, challenging greens, hilly fairways with both left and fight bends for shot shaping.... I play 18 here around our. Trust me, I'm not a great golfer, a 9 handicap,. But after a bad round elsewhere, South Shore mentally grounds any frustrations I may have

A must to play

Burnt greens but still Great condition

Still in great shape, always bring tended to.

One groundskeeper cut 2 greens too low. Then the 100° temperatures hit, burning them.

Being aeratedand seeded. Needs 7-10 days and will be fixed

Accidents happen

Planning to play again very soon, my weekly round.

Still amazed at the overall condition. Best in over a decade
