Good improvements to this golf course

This golf course was improved greatly since my last play 2 years ago. The car path, manicuring and amenities look very nice. The pace of play was excellent. The greens are a little slow but in good conditions. I recommend it greatly. I am a 12 handicap and play even 80, good for me. Please try it.

Made the drive and it was worth the trip

Drove down to Burleson for the first time in a few years. I was rewarded with good conditions, fun golf, and a nice quick 18.

Greens were aerated a few weeks ago and not yet healed. Lots of hopping putts. Fairways were full and green. Bunkers were playable, but very soft - we had a few buried lies. A few tee boxes could use a trim. The course does sit in a floodplain and there are some muddy and/or bare areas. Still, it was a good course and a nice test of golf. Lots of room to hit driver and 3 reachable par 5's.

We saw roadrunners, turkeys, a snake, an armadillo and many other birds. The course is surrounded by more woods than houses, so it was nice to see the wildlife.

A very fair test. Enjoyed the 3:20 round a lot. I will be back to see how the greens come in.

Punched Greens

Yes the greens were punched recently, but in a couple weeks this course will be one of my favorites in the area. Fairways were in good shape, and the bunkers probably the best I’ve seen in the area. The rating of this course is hard, but off the tee box it’s open and forgiving. It’s difficult because your approach shot is what matters. Almost every green is guarded by bunkers, which I actually like because it challenges you to hit the right number. The bunkers aren’t a problem to get out of because they are in good condition, as I said before. I recommend this course. It was a bit steep since the greens were punched, but find yourself a price around $40-$50 and you’ll enjoy it!

Last thing for the club, the tee boxes were a little shaggy. They were in great condition, but they need to be cut.

Play it ...

You won’t be disappointed, and I offer that having played it the very week the greens were punched and sanded.

Very easy to project the course under optimal conditions. The fairways are well kept, tee boxes are large and varied, the track is mostly forgiving off the tee, and greens are protected by traps and mounds. Overall, it’s as long or as short (7265 to 5717) as you feel capable of playing.

Great course

Course is in good conditions. Greens are great. Very tall grass outside the cart paths. Some dry spots in fairways but hardly worth mentioning. Friendly cart girl.

Must Play

Third time I have olayed this course in 4 weeks. First time I have rated a couse this high during winter conditions. Love the staff, course layout and the fairways and greens are great. Wish the driving range was opened. Of the 3 times I have recently played this course, this was the longest round, weather was perfect and the course was full and we completed 18 holes in 3 hours and 40 minutes. my drive to play this 1 hour 10 minutes on average and will be paying again next week.

Must Play

Course was recommended so I checked GolfNow and found a great deal. Staff was great. Fairways were in excellent condition and never found one unrepaired divot on a green. Great layout with several tight holes, several elevated greens and holes with wide fairways. Did I mention the fairways were the best I have played all winter. Only reason I did not give all 5 stars was the driving range was closed for obvious reasons. This course is now on my course rotation. Played in 3 hours 20 minutes.

Southern Oaks

Still my favorite layout and becoming my go to course when ai have the opportunity to get a round in. Some holes are tight, some are wide open, and the Par 3’s are a challenge

Many selections off of the tee box, I prefer the Black, just in front of the Green Championship Tees

Really nice course and club

What jumps out first is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of everyone. From the pro shop to food service and marshals for the golf course. Course was in good shape and was challenging but not to the point of being overly difficult. Had a great time and will be returning

Southern Oaks Burleson - Awesome!

I am not a member but I play Southern Oaks at least 2 times a week. Nearly every time I play another course I wish I was back playing at Southern Oaks. The course is in excellent shape and always is! The staff there is exceptional. For example I was fitted there on Wednesday for a new driver and irons. They irons had to be ordered and were to arrive by next Thursday. Well they arrived today, while I was already there playing and they brought them out to me while I was on #15, how cool is that, what customer service!!!

I hate to brag too much because selfishly I don't want everyone and there brother showing up to play there, but they deserve the traffic because its a great place to play!
