Southern Oaks Golf & Tennis Club

This course is one of my favorites in DFW, they always run deals on here - the greens were just somewhat patchy this last trip out.

First off, the layout is terrific and green complex’s 5 star. The course misses as it’s just not well kept. Simple things like making sure grass is growing around greens or cart paths. Easy stuff like roping off small, high traffic areas and allow the grass to come in. Take a minute and resod before spring.

And the greens? Hmmmm. Lots of burnt spots, rough spots and generally a 7:10

Amenities? Who took away the restaurant? Who forgot to think about the layout between golf shop, course, range and food n drink? Example: it’s so disjointed I’ve never bought anything to eat here.

Again - layout is top notch. A Mark Brooks design and great layout.

My son who is new to golf and starting to show real interest picked this track over all the others we’ve played for his Birthday round with dad. We had a great time and got to play as a twosome with pretty good pace of play especially for a weekend afternoon tee time on a gorgeous day. Overall the course is really looking and playing nice. I’d recommend this course to anyone at any skill level.

Fairways Hard. Nice greens. Played in the wind again.

Fairways were in good shape, but the greens were very thin and fast.

The tee boxes were bunched together so not sure if the yardage was correct.

I played late afternoon on a Saturday. Two tournaments were wrapping up and pace of play was horrible. There were groups playing as eightsomes and more. A local said there are no Marshalls after 3pm. Great course but avoid weekends at all costs

The weird weather pattern still have Southern Oaks in winter conditions. Lots of bare patches and dormant bermuda grass. Still a good layout, fun holes, and the greens were in good shape as usual. Pace of play was a little off due to a group in front far overestimating their distance capabilities. Rate was good and I had credits to use. I drive 54 miles to play here about twice a year.

Give this course a few weeks and it should start to green up and grass to grow in rough and fairways. Still a good value regardless.

Had not been here in years and wow, loved it! Great job Southern Oaks!!

We had a great time on our round. Will definitely go back. They have done a lot to improve the facilities.

Overall great layout. Don’t play from back tees unless you’re a 6 Handicap or less. It plays plenty long n tricky from whites and I’m a 8.
