Great layout, very penalizing rough

Was welcomed as soon as I walked in the door, got me checked in quickly. At the turn the lady at the snack shop was extremely nice and friendly. Luckless I was paired with a couple guys that knew the course because there are some blind tee shots. Tees boxes, fairway and greens were in fantastic shape! Rough could use a good cut, 3-4 inches. thick slightly wet rough was no fun.

I will definitely play here again!

Very tight course

Lots of BIG trees make tight and small fairways. Also can be dangerous because of side by side holes.

Greens and fairways were in good shape but par 3 Tee boxes needed work.

Wow What A Wild Ride

If ever there was a golf course that was a roller coaster, this would be it. The terrain on this course is a abrupt with large elevation changes and several valleys throughout the property. The course was built in two phrases with the original holes being closest to the clubhouse. The new holes and old holes are obvious; however, they seem to work as a whole.

If there is a negative, it would be the ling uphill walks between the old and new holes in two locations during routing. As a result, walking is not recommended.

If you are a fan of quirky, rumbling, and hilly courses then Somerset is for you.

Fun, Interesting Course in Cincy

We played here for the first time after a lot of rain the night before and still had a good time. You get a little bit of everything at South Trace including some quirky holes, strong doglegs, and a few blind shots. The par 3's in particular were memorable, fair, and fun. The course would be really pretty when the trees are fully bloomed. We paid $16 with the Tee Time Passbook. Staff was friendly. I'd play again.
