Southern Oaks Golf & Tennis Club

Very Challenging! The course is in good shape and the clubhouse very nice.

Very nice and up to date Club House and from what I heard, outstanding food from the grill. Great carts with GPS. Course is long with deep bunkers both green-side and in the fairway. Greens rolled well and played firm. Bring your bug spray, had several areas of standing water in 90 degree heat that they need to work on, but I will go back, great value for the $30 per player we spent on Golfnow.com

I enjoyed going, I played nine after work in the afternoon.

This course has gone through a year of renovations. New lighted range, new clubhouse remodel, new carts with GPS, and many more. Greens in great shape (a little slow) Great value through Golf Now.

This course has got a ton better over the last 2 years and on it's way to a great course. I would highly recommend booking on golf now app because I played for $28 but the if you book through the course it's $58. The only bad thing about the course is the price if you can't get a tee time on golf now because there is another great course in town that's a lot cheaper.

Course is getting there .still some sand traps that are nothing but hard dirt,but they said they were working on them

The first time I played this course it was in pretty bad shape and I gave it a pretty poor review. I decided to try playing here again and had a much better experience the second time around. The fairways were in much better shape than the last time I played. There are still a few areas of the fairways that could use some TLC, but overall they're in good shape. The greens look good and are in pretty good shape as well. There were a few time where my ball would jump from left to right because of the bumps in the greens, but for the most part they roll true. The course is pretty wide open and allows for some mistakes if you don't hit a perfect shot. Overall I enjoyed playing here and will play here again. I don't think it will be my go-to course for the Burleson area, but it is a good option if I want to play close to home.

So I initially thought this course was in bad shape and not worth the money. Afterr playing it for a second time ive changed my opinion. This time the course was in much better shape. The fairways still leave a little to be desired in some spots but not bad. The greens were in pretty good shape but arent anywhere near perfect. My ball often jumped left to right while rolling on the green. The sand traps are more like sand pits with no bottom, hard to hit out of some. Overall the course is good. I will play again sometime, but wont be my go-to course for Burleson area. Carts have GPS which is cool.

Course was recently redone and in great condition. Still relatively unknown I think judging by the few golfers I see everytime I go. Just a matter of time before more people find out about this place. Recent deal got me range balls, 18 holes, then lunch for $17. You won't find a better deal.

I played this course in 2001, and discovered that Mark Brooks ruined the property Southern Oaks was built on. It was a wonky, freakish layout, with odd bunker placements, advertised as a "Links" style golf course. 90% of that has changed with a Bruce Lietzke ownership group taking over. There is still the odd fairway bunker, and the course has an unusual amount of dead grass. The greens are not perfect, however the layout of the course is fair, providing cautionary as well as rip-it holes during play. Probably my favorite hole was the 245 yard 17th, where I ripped a 3-iron to about 1.5 feet. Overall I shot 75 from the back tees - 7111 yards, but it seems longer with the wind direction we had.

Challenging, but fair. If you can stay out of the woods you will enjoy Southern Oaks. Five separate tees which allow even the senior golfer a challenge.
Played on a Tuesday and was not crowded.

Course has a good layout and the staff is trying hard to bring it back. With that being said I talked to pro shop two times before the day we played and was never told about greens being punched.

The front nine was still under construction, but the staff did give use a discount to make up for it. One hole on the back nine had a crew working on a water leak in the middle of the fairway. Over all it was a nice course and will play it again.

The date 7-29-14 was our booked round for 4 by Golfnow . Upon our arrival , to our disappointment , we learned that only 9 holes would be opened ! We were expecting the worst when to our surprise , Ira was extremely polite and gave us a choice of playing or a full refund ! That professionalism will bring us back many more times ! Thanks Ira !!!

Several months ago I swore to never play this course again, but I couldn't turn down this $29.95 rate. The greens are night and day better than previously, although some still need more time. It looks like the rains also helped the fairways. I wouldn't pay their list rate until the course is fully recovered, but will play here again if golf.now puts up another good discount. The staff is very friendly.

Some of the greens and fairways are in rough condition. But you can tell they are working hard to fix them.

Beautiful course.
Greens in excellent condition for the most part. 2 greens had some minor issues but were playable.
Fairways are in excellent condition.
Golf carts are the best in DFW. GPS Digital on carts.
Would highly recommend this course to any golfer.
Well worth the 55 mile drive from Dallas near Plano.

New owner/management making good changes. A few greens still have issues and bare fairway spots still exists. Based on regular green fees they must think they already have something special. It may be coming, but certainly not there yet. I applaud the recent progress....it is noticeable. If I get another great deal on golfnow.com I will be back soon. If not, I will wait awhile.

The greens are now in good shape and you can tell they are working really hard to make this a really beautiful course! Best it has looked this year! Love the new cart GPS!

Course is really making a comeback...played a month ago and was disappointed. .. but after my last round I was impressed ... greens are coming back ..fringes and fairways were nice .. tee boxes were perfect...and they added gps yay
