Make-shift greens for regular green fee

This is straight highway robbery: holes 12 and 14 had a make shift green in the rough, completely unplayable. Also, the tee boxes are like playing in sand, e.g. holes 17 and 18 are impossible to tee off properly. I get that this is not entirely the fault of the staff, but there is absolutely no remit in asking for full green fee. This is a borderline sham.

Needs work

My 2nd review this year. They lost all their tee boxes especially the whites. They are just dirt and sand. Much early in the year around April, they were beautiful. The greens were barely cut running very slow. There’s no divot mix/sand in the carts so there’s divots all over the fairways. Sand in bunkers are a joke, like fine clay. Only played here today because of a HOT DEAL which still costs $71 each w cart. Greens on Holes 12 & 14 were closed off, temp green short of 12th green was a joke. Not even mowed down grass. They just put a hole with a flag about 30 yards short of the green in the fairway. Will not play here again until they fix the tee boxes. Until then it’s off to Jersey I go.

You would be crazy to play here at any price.

Course Needs Renovation

Tee boxes were bare and greens were full of sand. Cart paths are full of potholes. I think under the new course management, that by next spring, the course will be in better shape. All and all, would not recommend this course to avid golfers at this time. Not good value for the $70 plus dollar price.

Complete RIPOFF - asked for $ back

I’m unsure how this ownership is allowed to operate this way as a city course. The course is unplayable and they continue to charge full green fees. The tee boxes are dirt patches, unless it rained in the previous 3 days / then you’ll be planting your feet in mud. The greens are completely unplayable. They are full of sand! They absolutely should not be charging full green fees for this sorry excuse of a golf course. The city should get involved - this is a complete ripoff and borderline fraud.

SKIP.

Worst it’s ever been. Read below & it’s somehow worse than it sounds. Green fees anything over $20 is unacceptable.

Course needs some work

Overall South Shore is a nice course but clearly needs some work on their tee boxes and several greens. I know it’s under new ownership so lets hope they make some improvements or at least lower their rates.

Worst It’s ever been

I usually don’t care enough to write a review about poor experiences especially at this laughingstock of a dump of a golf course. Shame on me for expecting any employees to be there before the first tee time because this is about the 5th time in a row this has happened to me there I guess there’s a reason why it’s the only golf course you can book the day before on a weekend because it’s such utter dog crap…Where do I begin with the greens covered in lumps of dirt from Wasp nests and covered in sand in Mid August not to mention not one tee box that is actually intact like teeing off in Baseball sandlot this course is a joke including everyone affiliated with it never again

Lack of care and maintenance of the course

The course is in terrible condition, the course for the longest time was in rough shape, but back when this golf season started it seemed like they finally improved the course overall. They put in new tee boxes, fixed up the greens and the rough/fairway was maintained. Fast forward to this last outing I had here it seems like they just don’t care and forgot it. All the tee boxes are now shot, few of them just being dirt and mud. The rough was not cut to an even length, some lengths were up to my shins. The greens were terrible, more than half were sandy and cracked. The other half were infested with hornets that dug into the ground creating holes and dirt hills all over the ground. Not to mention they charged you full price for this. Won’t be playing here again until things change. Better off paying the toll and paying the same if not a little more for a great course in NJ

Don’t waste your money

Course is kept in horrendous conditions. Atleast 3-4 holes on the back 9 are not able to be finished due to hornet infestations, greens that have not been touched in weeks, or bunkers (if you can call them that) that probably have the same sand since before covid. They have a lot of nerve to charge the price they charge for a course that gets ignored, i'm not sure where the money goes. Overall bad experience unless you enjoy paying $80 for 18 holes and having to forfeit a minimum of 3 holes or risk being stung by giant hornets or putting on the surface of mars. 0/10 , Do better or charge less

Course was beat up!!!

Huge divots on fairway and tee box not repaired. Greens had ball marks everywhere, not fixed, also multiple greens were covered in sand and insect mounds. Very difficult to put or read those greens. Round took 5 hours as no rangers were helping with the pace of play.

The course has lacks proper care. Many greens are in terrible condition. Tee boxes are non-existent. The course management has deteriorated in the past several years. It's a shame, since it's a nice tight course. It's going to take a while for me to go back there.
