Poor green conditions

I've played this course a number of times in the past and enjoyed it, however I was VERY disappointed in the condition of the greens this time. Half the greens were VERY bad and the other half were average at best. There were 2 temporary (very small rough) greens as well.

Working to improve

Live this ciurse. Its one of my favorites. But the greens are currently in rough condition. They are working to improve them but many greens are sanded in spots and i brlieve they currently have 2 temp greens created to save the existing green. Hoping they ccn get course back in previous condition cause yhe layout and condition of the course has historically been great!!

Great course for the value.

First time playing this course and it was a great time. Fairways were in good shape even with it raining the night before. Layout was fun, would come back.

Do NOT Play

all the greens are in bad shape & hole 16 is on a temporary green. Not once did I have a putt that had grass all the way to the hole. Pro shop said nothing about the greens & charged us full price!!! Not even close to being worth what they charged. this course will require many months to get the greens back in shape

Course in bad condition

not worth the price at all. This course looks like it was hit with an earthquake. Hole #16 green was 10ftx10ft and the hole was big enough to fit my driver head. wish they would have informed me the condition of the course or even provided a discounted rate.

Rough Shape

Greens are in bad shape; not much grass on any of them. Front 9 has all fairways punched. The course is not worth the money at all.

Course needs a lot of care

The greens are in poor condition and fairways have been punched so they are in extremely bad shape. There is no way Bryson will do a video here anytime soon. I would save my money.

Greens are in rough shape…

I’ve played at Southern Oaks probably a dozen times the last year or so. It’s usually in decent shape— especially for the cost. I hadn’t been there for a few months, and unfortunately this was the worst condition I’ve seen it in. The fairways & tee boxes definitely aren’t perfect, but they’re totally playable given the cost to play here. The greens, on the other hand, were abysmal— most of them are quite literally just unplayable. I’m guessing it’s because we had a rough winter? But still, it’s now May & this seems to be a problem with whoever they have on their grounds crew. I really like this course, so I hope they get things sorted out for the summer, or the years to come!

Low Value for the Dollar

I’ve played here several times, albeit less and less over the past year and a half. They keep finding ways to make the green fees low value for what you spend.

Pace of play is a nightmare here on weekends, so I opted to take a Tuesday afternoon off and come play. I was alone, so I know to take my time because of groups ahead. That’s fine. But when there 12TH TEE BOX IS STACKED FOUR GROUPS DEEP ON A TUESDAY AFTERNOON, it’s time for the marshal to tell the lead group to skip two holes, not “play faster”.

I threw in the towel after 11 holes because it grates me so bad to burn vacation time to sit on a poorly marshaled course waiting 30 minutes to hit. Waste of time and waste of money.

Fairways were meh. Quite a few bare spots but still playable.

Greens look like they are being overhauled. Super sandy and like a plinko board on about half of the front nine.

It is such a pity this place isn’t run better.

course needs better grass

greens are needing time and special care to recover from previous times I have played there.

About half of the greens are spoty bare and grass. The other half of the greens are more playable.
