Nestled in the quaint village of Binbrook, Southbrook Golf Club has a charmingly idyllic yet convenient location that is only minutes from the QEW, the 403, and the Lincoln Alexander Parkway. The club first opened in 1969 with a nine-hole golf course, which was later expanded to 18 holes in 1972. A renovation of the golf course resulted in a redesign of five holes on the front nine and a new irrigation system. Southbrook Golf Club now plays to a 6,560 yards and its new challenges demand precision and keen course strategy. The meandering Welland river snakes through the golf course as well, coming into play on 13 holes while also enhancing the natural beauty of the course.

Don’t bother

Worst tee box’s I ever seen and pace of play was slow. I played a lot courses in the area and they were all in very good shape with the exception of this one. The greens and fairways were very sandy. Don’t waste your time or hard earned here, they’re some really nice courses in the area for the same money.

Not the same as years prior

My group and I were a little disappointed on the conditions. In years past the course was very nice, excellent conditions etc. We understand there was clearly work being done in areas, however pretty much every tee box was completely chewed up to the point where the driving range area was in better condition than some tee boxes, some of the greens were in poor condition and no beer cart was scene at all during the round.

Course conditions poor

I played this course as a junior. Now, 30 years later - the layout is just as solid as it was but unfortunately the conditions were poor. Tee boxes were rock hard. Fairways were bare in many spots. Rough was ok and greens were ok.

For $70 it was not good value for money. If the conditions were better I’d recommend it for sure.

Hot Deal

The course was worth the 22 dollars each, with cart. It was slow in the heat and humidity.

I was disappointed with the slow speed of the greens. They use to be much quicker.

If you like fast greens like I do, you will be frustrated with the speed of these greens.

Disappointed w/pricing

We golf at Southbrook approx 1 - 2 x per week. We generally find the pricing reasonable.

After looking on Golf Now for times & pricing we called to see if there were earlier times not listed on that site. The gentleman who answered the phone said there wasn’t. I then asked if, since I had him on the phone, we could book the 3:30(ish) time that was listed on Golf Now at the same price as what was advertised. I was informed that they could not match the $47 w/cart)/person price on Golf Now. I hung up and booked through Golf Now. Once at the course we were paired up with a guy who had just showed up, hoping to get in a quick 18 on his way by, but the price he was given was $31 (with a cart).

This is extremely disappointing, especially considering how often we golf at Southbrook and the fact that the course was in pretty rough shape due to the earlier rain and a golf tournament that was there earlier in the day.

Nice course and staff. Poor 4 some in front of us

Had a nice round scored well and enjoyed most.of the day. Only trouble was there was a foursome I front of us that were brutal. No adherence to dress code or any golf etiquette. They only had 2 sets of clubs took at least 10 to 15 shots per fairway, played loud rap music picked up my ball and were going to hit it..It took about 1.5hrs to play the first three holes. We ended up skipping hole 4 and passing them they were just awful. Worst play I have seen in my 40 plus years of golf. My biggest complaint would be they never should have been allowed on the course, sharing clubs and blaring music and the dress code violations. Southbrook you messed up a lot of people's Sunday afternoon.

A haunted charm

Definitely a unique experience at Southbrook!

A pretty straightforward course with a few elevation changes and some blind shots. Suits a lefty like me just fine.

A rickety abandoned home up the front nine seems oddly left as a reminder of a different time and a hole with some bridge to nowhere shows that there was once some long forgotten charm to this course.

I do enjoy this course probably more than most other accessible courses in the area and it's a great deal on GolfNow or in twilight.

Pace of play is fine just make sure to call ahead in case there is a tournament going on!

Staff have been pleasant and courteous and always thank me at the end of the round.

Only downside I will mention is that some of the fairways are a bit chewed up with some unintended unplayable lies. Most likely a result of the wet weather this year. Cart paths are a bit choppy as well.

Overall a great day out. Thanks!

Fairways were good, greens were all sand

Fairways are in good condition, but all the greens are covered in sand, a couple holes you couldnt even see any green it was almost like putting in a sand trap.

Sandtraps were solid sand, and rough wasnt well maintained.

Ok course to play if you get a good deal, not worth the full cost that they charge.

The course offered tee times in the middle of a tournament. Had to wait 10 minutes minimum at each hole. After that, not going back. Took 6 hours for 18 hole all because of waiting.

One of our favourites...

Southbrook is one of our favourite local courses. The staff are fabulous, very friendly and inviting. The food in the clubhouse is excellent and the pro shop has everything you would need.

If I have one complaint, it’s the pace of play. Quite often there are lengthy waits at each hole. For us, that’s not a problem because we’re never in a hurry, but that seems to be the one thing that fellow golfers we speak to complain about.

Great value at a great course.

Great Staff

Course is dry and plays long. The staff was dynamite. They went out of their way to get us out early to avoid a large group that they felt would have slowed down our round I look forward to our next round at this local gem.
