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 not in good shape

There were at least 5 greens in bad shape one had patches of new grass put in. There are several more greens which will probably go from ok to bad as you can see lots of brown spots. The fairways n tee boxes are in good shape. I would not pay full price to play on these greens as I expect they will only get worse. . They had same issue last year with the greens.

Good Afternoon of Golf

Picked the only sunny day between a bunch of rainy ones and had a great time. Course was in good shape from the rain, save only a few bunkers that had some water in them from the several inches of rain. There's been a lot of chatter about the greens lately and I will say that they're not their usual best, but I would give them a 7 out of 10. They were recently aerated and sanded which doesn't help immediately, but necessary for the long term health and rollability. The ball still rolled pretty well, albeit a notch slower, and the greens definitely held iron shots nicely, and there was one green that had a couple of patches in the middle, but that's what has to happen sometimes if there's a stubborn turf ailment.

The pace was fast and the tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. It was a great day on the course and I was able to score well. Don't let a couple of minor maintenance items prevent you from playing a great course and enjoying the day.

Greens need help

Greens need some work! Old pin placentas were everywhere and in bad condition. At least one green had huge replacement patches in the middle of the green. Unplayable for that green. Fairways were nice but will not play here again until greens are better.

Saturday Regs

Course was in great shape. Played a little slow as we had to wait on the tee box for most holes (the 2’som behind us were not as patient and hit into us some) but overall a great day of golf

Front nine greens needs some TLC

Been playing SH for years and will continue, great course. The past few weeks, however, the first five greens are a bit sandy. They’ll come back, still a great time.

I hesitated to rate the course at four but I am partial to the course. I love to play it. It’s actually better than a four but the condition of the greens realistically puts it in the threes. There are way too many former pin placements. Many plugs replaced below top of greens or above top of greens. No true role. The plugs are too close together. Putting is half the game

Disappointed

Great course normally, but conditions on the greens were the worst I’ve see from this course. Sandy bare spots, prior hole locations were not leveled making it nearly impossible to putt. Driving range has no grass .For what is charged for a round, you would be better off playing elsewhere.

Are these greens?

I played yesterday and quit after 9, that’s how bad the greens were. Charging full price for greens that are a $20 muni is unacceptable. I was told they were bad, but how bad could they be? Even worse than I thought. I cannot recommend this course to anyone for a price over $20

Troubled greens

South Hampton usually has great fast greens. They are in bad shape currently. Patchy and slow. They are working on them, so there is sand patches in the troubled areas. Hopefully they get them back in shape soon. Can’t recommend spending $84 dollars to play there currently.
