I know from experience that this golf course was kept in really nice condition back in 2000.Now I see that the owner doesn't want to put any extra money into this golf course. I really do think that became of this the grounds crew might be at that point why should we care when the owner doesn't care.

Golfing In Late August

Course conditions, for Pennsylvania late-August and no significant rain in awhile, were good. Parking lot was mostly full , but pace of play was great and we did not need to wait on any hole. Played South-North

Not Long But Very Challenging

This is an mature traditional golf course run by a very friendly and helpful staff. It is enjoyable to navigate but, it would be very helpful to have a yardage book to give pertinent information for first time players.
The greens and fairways have been a little beaten up by the heat however the greens rolled very true
Well worth the 75 mile trip each way from Bowie Mayland.

North v south

The greens were dry and didn't hold like I am use to. Challenging undulations and tough pin placement , made it more challenging! They had a marshal out watching the play which is always nice !!

Great Course

South Hills is a great course. Unlike most courses in the area, their greens are challenging. I would say very rarely did I have a straight putt. I look forward to playing South Hills again.

Fitting of area

Good value, this last round was Father's day and it was soaked, water in every cup, but typically course conditions are quite nice. It's appropriately priced and maintained for the area, it seems a touch harder than some other courses in the area, the fairways and pair 3's are accessible, but the greens are more interesting than other courses. Sand adds to more difficulty on approach, but it's at least well maintained. It's probably most similar to Flatbush or Quail Valley, it's slightly nicer then National or Cedar Ridge, but it's not the Links or Black Rock, and it's priced as such.

Did not have to wait

There was a group of 5 ahead of us. However there was no one behind us. So we were able to play several balls to avoid having to sit and wait which worked out perfectly. Course was in good shape except cart paths could use some attention.

Great course, carts need help

The North course needs a little attention to make it as nice as the South course. All of the greens were in great shape. These courses have been around for a while so the cart paths have a lot a root bumps, etc. Unfortunately the carts have been around for a while, too, and need some attention (shocks, seats). All in all, these are two courses that we always enjoy and did this time too.

Spring 2015 at South Hills

Mid week round; weather was cold, quite windy. Course was surprisingly accessible and dry (scatter cart rules) for just one day after torrential rains in the area. Tee boxes and fairways in excellent shape. Greens a bit splotchy/rough - did not appear to be punched and sanded - perhaps just slowly growing in for the season. Played South then North, which are the best, most challenging and classic 9's at this course IMO. Only downside to condition was the North traps; for the most part, they are in dire need of fresh sand.

I like this course overall; it's a great value in this area; staff are very accommodating, and if you catch it on a weekday (with iffy weather), mostly devoid of golfers. Classic layout with some difficult holes.

Great bang for your buck

One of my favorite courses to play. 3 different 9's to choose from,all are great. The west 9 has some of my favorite water holes including a true island green par3. This course is always in great condition year round. Its regular prices are a great deal, getting a round under a hot deal feels like stealing! And if u wanna play all 27 holes it's only $7 more. I've played here about 20 times and have always been pleased. The club house and restrooms are out dated but the food is good and pricing isn't thru the roof.

Good shape

Brutal winter here. Course in good shape despite the winter. Greens were ok for this time of year. Bunkers had no rakes but sand was very nice. South more difficult than West.

Course is as hard as a rock due to lack of rain. Many areas should be over seeded to promote grass growth.
