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.

Greens were in poor condition

Greens were in poor condition, we were charged premium green fees and there was sand all over the greens which we were not told about when making the tee time, if we knew they were in that poor of condition we would have played elsewhere . Also it was about 98° and they had no water on the course

Not Good

This course used to be nice, but unfortunately it has gone downhill. Greens were terrible, basically not even playable.

Some

Fairways have weeds growing in them and bunkers were just left untouched by any maintenance crew.

Sadly a good course gone bad.

Spend your money elsewhere!

Greens need work

Great staff and layout. Greens are sanded at the moment, but also have more rough spots than you would like to see.

Disappointed

This course has unfortunately been declining in quality. Pro shop was closed when we got there for the tee time. Couldn’t warm up or even use the restrooms. The greens were filled with sand and there was no aerification warning. All the water coolers were empty on the course. The simple things weren’t taken care of which resulting in an incredibly poor experience. Would suggest people to stay away until South Hampton gets their act together.

Good value, nice course

Greens were still a little sandy from being aerated earlier this month, but they are definitely getting there. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. South Hampton always seems to be well maintained and in about another week the greens should be great.

Enjoyable round

Played with three other singles. Everyone enjoyed the course. The tee boxes and fairways were well maintained and we were notified in advance of the aeration on the greens. The bunkers were a bit inconsistent, but staff were noticeably working several during our round. I would definitely recommend this course.

Another Great Outing

Great course from tee to green as always. The greens were aerated within the past few days so the greens were obviously sandy. As a result, they were a bit slower than usual, but every course endures this process a few times a year that is a necessary evil to improve and enhance the quality of the course moving forward. Everything else was as expected.

I realize some folks would provide a negative review based on the aerification, but that's just plain ignorant. This is a normal maintenance procedure that impacts the greens for about a week, but ultimately makes the course much better.

Punched greens

Southampton is a nice simple layout. Straightforward and easy to play. Fun track for all skill levels. The greens were punched which made putting tough but it’s was expected and ok

Never seen anything like it !!!

Usually you can count on it being a descent track, but WOW. I don’t know how long it’s going to take them to recover the greens after punching them on 6/5/23 but it won’t be soon. Thumb size holes but on top of that was 2-3” of sand….UNPLAYABLE.. and still had the nerve to charge 50+$$. Not only that, the fairways were dragged and punched in some places… NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT! Stay away for now!!
