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.

Good Variety and Value

Nice course with interesting holes. Greens in great shape for this late in the year. Of course, like many courses this time of year, finding balls in all of the leaves proves to be a bit problematic but, expected. Over all though, no complaints!

worth the drive

We would very pleased with the course and the people working there. We were stuck in traffic, which caused us to be late for our tee time. They took care of us with no issues. We would golf here again.

Great course with good value for your $ s.

Loved the course....great variety of holes. Nice scenery and some definite challenges.
Unfortunately we had trouble checking in. They weren't set up for the tax portion and after 20 minutes of fiddling, we said we would just play and settle after. When we arrived at 18 green he was there. Still no luck...fortunately we combined our cash in our wallets and paid. Bad taste after such a great game!

Fairways that are fair

I appreciate a course that doesn't punish good shots, and this is one. There is trouble waiting, but you have to go and find it. The course is neither wide open nor punishingly tight, the greens were in good shape, the graphics on the tee blocks gave a good indication of what you were dealing with, and the terrain made for a good challenge.

Nice course close to Hamilton.

Enjoyed the day. Been a while since I last played Southbrook. They made sone changes to the back 9 that made sense. Greens and fairways were in good shape.

challenging for the average golfer

While there was no power at the course when we started, staff was very good getting everyone off and playing at their tee-time. Fairways are starting to see some weeds and need some work and greens have too many ballmarks. The tee areas need to be moved around as there are a lot of areas with too many divots to find a clear area to put a tee in. Although the course was booked up, there was no excessive waiting and there was no marshalls to be seen. Great course for play on the long weekend!

not a bad track for the value..

Track was is in okay condition despite of the heat wave it endured in the last couple of weeks. I recommend that u play the tips to get a better feel of its true yardage. Overall for $39 under golf now it's worth the drive and time.

Great course for a quick round

I've played at Southbrook for many years. Not so often in the last 10-12 years though. The course is fairly wide open with trouble looming if you stray too much. The greens are great....receptive and very smooth. The tee boxes were a little chewed up on this day but one could still find an area to tee up their ball. What they really lack is a great irrigation system. Being out in the country, they don't have anyplace to draw enough water to make this a "lush" golf course. The fairways tend to be a little hard. However, for a short hitter like myself, I appreciate the extra 20-30 yards that I get on my drives!!. Like I said, the greens are receptive so it doesn't alter your game too much. It's a very decent track and it is fun to play

Nice staff, poor course conditions

The staff and clubhouse at Southbrook were both very nice. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said about the course conditions. The course had so much potential with beautiful lies, but unfortunately it looked like the grass hadn't been watered anywhere other than the tee blocks and greens. I know the rain hasn't been of much help but the conditions were unacceptable for the price.

Great layout, great staff. Great value. My only complaint is the fairways were a little dry from lack of rain and watering. Ill be back for sure though.

The friendliest staff!!!

This is a great course, with a moderate challenge, however they overbook the times, and the game can move quite slow. The marshall needs to be out more on the course to tell people to move along instead of spending 10 minutes looking for a ball.
If we return for a twilight, I would do the back nine first, as that is where all the big trees are and it gets dark quickly.

Reasonably priced, friendly course.

Southbrook is rarely affected by rain or storm due to excellent drainage.
Staff is very friendly & very accommodating (something for instance sorely missing with Flambrough Hills -a course very comparable in difficulty & maintenance. Also SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Southbrook).
Another nice feature this time of the year late in afternoon (when I like to play) -mosquitoes are not too annoying) esp compared to some other local courses.
All in all -solid course & excellent value. WE all enjoyed it.

great coarse for the $. Very accomadating staff.

Have enjoyed this golf coarse for a # of years. They changed around some of the back 9 holes to make it more challenging and I think to speed up play. I would recommend this coarse to anyone . Staff are very friendly and obliging. Don
