Good course. Great people!
I play this course often.
It's well kept and improving all the time.
What I really like about the course is the personnel.
Always accommodating and friendly.
Great game and course
Nice course with open fairways and very good greens.
Thank you for your review! We hope you come back for another round soon!
Coming Back
When Southern Oaks first opened it was a great layout and very nice. Thru the years it went down and for a while it wasn't even worth the time but in the last year with new owners and an influx of money it is coming back to be very enjoyable again. I would recommend putting it on the rotation.
Thank you! Our maintenance staff has been working tirelessly to ensure we have the course in great shape. We'd be honored to have you back again soon!
Undulating greens make this a challenging layout
Beautiful day (mid-70s), generous fairways (although somewhat sparse in places making for tight lies), but almost no yardage markers and contoured greens made it tough to hit GIR/get up & down. Also, they're redoing the bunkers so some were just washed-out mud pits.
Thank you for the review! We're glad to see you found the greens to be a challenge. We hope you come back to see us again!
Southern Oaks
The rain spit on us a little but we got our round in. We love to play Southern Oaks. Course was in excellent condition.
Thank you for the review! Thankfully the rain didn't hinder your round too much! We love having you so please come back soon!
Fun course
Good course for mid-level golfers. Wide fairways with well placed bunkers. Fun course to play.
We're glad you had a good time! Please come back to see us again soon!
Great course for any player
From 7300 yds down to the ladies at 5300 yds there is a tee box for everyone. Very nice layout and open so the players move forward at a good pace but not easy - deserves the 129 rating from the white tees. Greens and fairways in very good shape considering the deluge of rain in May and unrelenting heat ever since.
We're glad to see you enjoyed the course! It's been designed to have challenges for every skill level and we're glad you took note of that! Come back and see us again soon!
Course is not as good as expected
I have not played this course in a few years. After hearing about substantial improvements, I could not have been more disappointed. Hardpan everywhere. Greens were in good condition, but fairways were brown and hard. If you were unlucky enough to be in the rough especially around the greens, forget about it. The new sand is ridiculous(where there is new sand). The old sand bunkers are full of rocks. I would hate to pay full price at this course. I will not be back.
Thank you for your review. We truly appreciate your feedback! We're sorry that the course did not live up to your expectations this time, but please come back to see us again. We want to see you have a different opinion next time!
Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money! Course looked like it had not been watered in a week. Fairways were dry and hard. If you were not in them, many times you were playing off of dirt. Workers were on the greens talking on cell phones while we were trying to putt. I will not be back.
We're sorry for your poor experience and we thank you for your commentary. We work to ensure our course meets all our golfers' expectations and we're sad to see it did not meet yours. We will address your issues and we hope to see you back again another time!
Great track
Had not played here in years. New ownership has done a great job with this well designed wide open course. Greens are outstanding. Course is in very good shape, needs some help from much need rain in some areas. Overall 9 out of 10 rating. Will be back soon.
Thank you for the review! We can't wait to have you back again and we're glad you enjoyed the course!
Management Change
Be wary they have had a management change. They removed all the GPS from the cart but still show on GolfNow they have GPS and they still charge like they have GPS!!
Best bang for the buck!
Had a great time, will return often. So far one of the best courses I have played in TX.
Thank you for rating Southern Oaks one of the best courses you have played in TX!
awsome customer service
course is in great condition except for slow green. pace of play could improve as we waited about 2-3 min every hole, marshal was around but i guess he didnt say anything. i accidently booked course for saturday round and staff was more than willing to squeeze me in, that is awsome customer service as i drove 30 minutes to play. shot 81 and would definitely come back again bc of staff friendliness.
Southern Oaks is thrilled to hear that due to our great customer service you will be back. We are glad that we could accommodate your round!
Terrible green speed
If you like putting on carpet go ahead. This course has come a long way, but if you are used to quality green conditions and speed, you will not enjoy the round.
We are sorry to hear about your thoughts on the course and would love to fin dout more information about your round so please email me directly at baileyteetimes@gmail.com
Very forgiving course
This course is nice if you are looking for a forgiving course. The fairways are long and wide. The weather has taken a toll on the course but overall it is a nice course.
Glad you enjoyed the course overall and we are aware of some of the weather conditions. We hope to see you back soon when the weather permits
Not worth it.
Just had to leave the course after 9 holes. After spending the morning waiting close to 20 minutes a hole we left at the turn. The single playing in front of our twosome was told by the 4 older gentlemen in front of him playing two balls a piece that "they live out there and don't need to let anyone play thru them". Aside from that there was 4 women in front of them who did not like anyone attempting to play thru them as well. The starter/marshall seemed like he could care less about the situation. I should have known that when we went to go off and asked "are we up next?" And was told to ask the people in the clubhouse.There was quality sand in the bunkers but the bunkers had not been raked in about a week I would guess. Greens were ok but overgrown and need to be cut. Unless you like to play in an atmosphere where no golf etiquette exists I would just leave this course to the locals living around it, driving their jacked up golf carts and treating it like their own private club.
Southern Oaks apologizes for the experience you had on your day of play. We take golf etiquette very seriously and would love to hear more in detail about your round. Please email me directly at baileyteetimes@gmail.com
Nice course , great round !
Played on a Sunday afternoon , course was in good shape, greens played slow but consistent throughout, enjoyed the pace of play wasn't crowded great clubhouse and friendly staff will recommend!
Southern Oaks appreciates your nice course, great round review! Thank you for noticing our above and beyond customer service we provide!
Still needs work
I decided to give this course another shot after reading some of the reviews....and was pretty disappointed. Southern Oaks has a fantastic layout, but the conditions were still shoddy. The course was just dry and hard....the greens were ok, but very shaggy which is surprising for a Saturday. The bunkers are awful. On #11, there's about a foot of sand in the fairway bunkers. I guess in a nutshell, I just wasn't impressed. 3 stars max
We do appreciate you giving our course another chance and it is unfortunate to hear of the conditions you experienced. Please email me directly for more information at baileyteetimes@gmail.com
Caught off guard.... I was really impressed.
I have played twice a week all summer long. I needed to try out s new course and the Sunday 9am tee time was only $41.00
The maps took us to the wrong address so we bumped back our tee time. The manager was super friendly and helpful. The club house was nice enough to want to grab a drink at even if you are not going to play a round.
Finally, the course was in great shape. The back nine was a little too dry in areas and you could see where grass was struggling to stay alive. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were nice. Also fairways were pretty wide open for the most part.
Highly recommend for the price. I will definitely be back!
Southern Oaks is glad to hear we really impressed us and you gave our cours a try. Thank you for informing us the map took you took the incorrect location but glad to hear the staff was able to accomodate your group!
Bunkers Bunkers Bunkers
This course has the deepest bunkers I've played with gorgeous white sand. The greens are challenging with the slopes. Hard to read the breaks. Course is in good shape.
Glad to hear you speak so highly of our bunkers and the shape of the course!
Hi rmhollis ,
Thank you very much for the 4 star review!
We appreciate the compliments towards our staff as they are always working hard to make sure every golfer has a great time!
We hope to see you again in 2016!
