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

The condition of the greens were horrible. Some of the worst I have ever seen. And the starter made 2 of us share a cart when the course was empty and was rude about it. Even with the hot deal it was not worth the money.

Hoping for better conditions in the fall

Golf Course condition is not in the best shape currently. A number of the Greens have bumpy surfaces to put on. Hoping that conditions will change in the fall. Fairways tend to be fast and dry due to lack of rain in the area.

Great value but needs work

Great staff and course layout. Challenging and forgiving holes. The greens are simply in bad shape and detracted from the quality of play. If you know what going on it will be easier to accept when you putt a ball and it's gets stopped in sand or it jumps 2ft sideways because it rolled over clumps. One they get the greens figured out this will be a tough course to not play frequently.

Needs work

Played this course some years back and loved the layout and moderate challenge. Course was in great shape but fast forward to today. Course was is in horrible shape from tee boxes to greens. From a distance the greens look good but when you get there, you realize they're painted with huge bare spots. Impossible to putt. Sad to say we'll not be going back anytime soon until improvements have been made to this one awesome course.

Tell us course conditions

Turns out the greens are being replaced soon. The round was spoiled by the condition of the greens. I have played on several types ofgrass but never crabgrass!

Always good to golf just not as enjoyable with greens such as these.

Horrible conditions

This has to be the worse shape I’ve ever seen of a course. It’s been in desperate need of an overhaul on every green. They have had a fungicide problem apparently for over a year and just need to shut it down and rip it out. I paid $50 and was very disappointed to say the least.
