Southern Oaks Golf & Tennis Club

Enjoyed the layout of this challenging course. I believe you'll have to play it a couple of times before you to understand where to play the holes to optimize your score. They obviously are improving the course as workers were on several holes and understood that the golfer is to be yielded to. Greens are not super fast but undulating therefore difficult. I will return!

New ownership is making quality upgrades and keeping the course in fine shape.

They repairing bunker and fairway. Workers don't care player. Construction sign every holes....
Green is OK. Fairway terrible

Had an absolute blast. The course was in great shape and the greens roll very true. Everybody on the staff from the guy that got our bags, to the pro shop, even down to the people in the grill were fantastic. They all had smiles on their faces and greeted you warm and promptly. There was nobody else on the course when we teed off so pace of play was great. Had an absolute blast and am considering joining the club because of how fantastic my experience was both times I have played there.

Course in good shape for winter conditions with the exception of ground under repair for new bunkers. Greens in great shape.

Extensive improvement of traps and sprinkler system. Super advance since spring when course was in bad condition. New owner is going to make a superior course.

Course is great and will be even greater when all the updates are completed. New tee boxes, sand bunkers, cart paths. Great layout. Course plays super long from the tips, but 4 other tee boxes available.

S. Oaks is getting better & better,from the parking lot / service to the 18th green if you haven't play there you should.

Windy day but we got out early, with no groups slowing us down. Greens are in good shape for the winter.

The course has been under new management who have taken steps to improve the conditions of the course. Clearing out underbrush, improving sand traps, new carts with GPS, updated driving range, and much better greens have helped with the golfing experience. Prices have gone up significantly which will discourage frequent play unless you find a discounted rate through places like GolfNow or Avidgolfer. The course does have drainage issues or is over watered because many areas are very soggy even when it hasn't rained recently.

I always liked Southern Oaks and it was my main course for a few years, but the shape of the course went down and the green fees seemed to go up so I stopped going. I caught a cheap tee time today on golf now and went back. It's evident the owner has spent money on improvements in the clubhouse, staff, practice facilities, course, and carts. It is the nicest public course within 30 minutes of my house now. I didn't have time to check out the restaurant, but if it's improved, this is a fully successful golf club.

It's a challenging course from the tips and will still let you score if you are striking it well.

I have played this course several times over the last couple of years. Since the present owners took over ther have been numerous improvements. The course was in rough shape at the start of the past summer but since it has really become a very nice course to play. My wife and I both like playing. Sometimes the play is slow but no slower than any good course. We will defiantly keep playing here.

This course is in excellent condition and everyone cares about your satisfaction.

Enjoyable round, course In above average condition. Fairway grass was excellent but ground was firm and in so places down right hard. Greens were smooth but some were also too hard to hold even a good shot. Overall, will go back!! Can be played all levels due to multiple tee boxes on all hole.7300 yards from the tips!

We played this course earlier this year and not impressed with the condition at that time. We have played a couple more times lately and can't believe how much it has improved. Will be playing here much more often now. This course is well worth the money now.

The condition of the course was outstanding. The greens played very good and were in great shape. The fairways were a pleasant surprise for this time of year. Very green and played great and nicely kept.The rough is tough and lots of trees. Very Nice ! I have already told several and this is a Must play.

Tree lined fairways to raised greens, well
bunkered pushed your skills to the limit.

I had not played Southern Oaks in 17+ years, but recalled that I enjoyed it the first time in the mid-90's. It has matured into what I consider one of the more beautiful and well-kept courses in DFW, and although I was not "shocked," it was a very pleasant surprise. The upsides were:

* The cost (with a Hot Deal from Golf Now the price was LESS THAN A CART FEE for the round, range balls, and cart - RIDICULOUS!).

* The "mixed bag" of golf holes, including numerous and genuine Scottish links style holes, as well as a healthy volume of more traditional style holes guarded by a mature, wooded landscape.

* The course condition was better than expected following the heat of summer (although most courses in our area fared better than usual this summer). The greens are in outstanding condition and rolled better than average, although a little slow for my taste. The fairways were also pure, firm, and gave excellent rollout on good tee shots.

If I had anything to encourage the course to improve upon, it would be the quality and price of food and drinks, and better consistency with bunker care. Sand traps were either excellent, with soft, grainy sand - or hard packed with no sand, and substantial gravel.

Overall I would go back a hundred times, and encourage others to visit as well.

The course is in great shape . Nice scenery front nine beautiful, back nine challenging but fun. Staff and facility great. I recommend to all my golf buddies.

Just want to say I'm not a good golfer but found the course very challenging as well as forgiving...and long holes and the staff is the best:)....
