Rating 74.0

The Golf Club at South Hampton was designed to give every golfer appropriate risk-and-reward opportunities that supply both encouragement to beginners and challenges for more advanced players. The slope and contour of the course’s landscape is its trademark with strategic mounding and over 60 contoured bunkers that emphasize the terrain’s natural undulations. The course features rolling fairways and massive greens. There are also sixteen large lakes that come into play throughout. The signature hole is the tremendous par-5, 17th, which is a scenic hole that features a lake, fairway bunkers, and a breaking green. Although the course is a challenge, there are six sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels.

Concrete Tees, Fairways, and Greens

The course was in horrible shape and the worst I've ever seen. They are planning to redo all of the greens and tees starting May 1st, but it appears they stopped watering it weeks ago. Funny how the practice greens actually had grass growing on them that needed cutting as everyone else was either dead or burnt up. I understand that they're redoing the greens and tees, but then maybe shut the course down weeks prior when the irrigation stopped and not charge full price. It was like putting on a concrete driveway and all the ball did was bounce all-over the place through the fairways and greens(would call them browns).

I've enjoyed playing here previously under good conditions but felt taken advantage of. You could easily see more than 30 cup cuts on the greens that didn't grow in due to no water and it was pathetic.

The greeeeeens and price

The greens are just destroyed. It’s like golfing on ice and on the moon at the same time. No warning upfront or disclaimers, no discount on bookings.In fact it’s the highest price Ive ever paid at that course. The ranger told us our pace was slow. Never been called out by a ranger for a slow pace in 20+ years of golfing. And we finished well under 4 hours in a 4some.

You are closing don’t rip off people

They are closing to redo the course. Which is fine. But they have completely stopped taking care of the course or customers. To still charge that amount of money was a complete rip off

Worst course conditions ever!!!!

The greens had No grass, flat and smooth. Impossible to control speed and direction of ball. Fairway were dry and hard with little grass.

Charged $60.00 dollars to play a course that should have been closed down. I’m shocked they didn’t return my money.

Renewing all greens

Good news: greens will all be redone in the next several months.

Bad news: not warning people prior to booking your round

Impossible putting conditions for everyone. Also fairway grass is being overtaken by a weed.

Great layout,but expensive considering course conditions. Other courses offer senior rates which is why I switched to weekly play.

Transitioning

According to the staff the course will be shutting down to replace the greens. They will be closed for 5 months. The course now is playable. The greens are fast and bare but rolling nice.

Bunkers are nice, fairways are playable but stating to deteriorate.

Looking forward to returning in October.

Starter & Cart person were 👎

Course was in fair condition considering they’re about to start major maintenance with intent to start end of April. I don’t like to give the course a lower review due to poor service from the starter and cart boy (2nd consecutive time) because all other staff members were outstanding. Great layout and I’m sure after the upcoming improvements it will be 4/5 star.
