this course is improving for the better.
really doing a good job at improving the overall feel and look of the course. a great place to spend some time at.
great service -driving at the bag drop , staff was already to great and have the cart ready for you, like those facility that charge a lot.
staff are very nice! club house is moderate in size but very elegant and have that family/home/warm feeling.. even with the texas weather the green are in.great shape. definitely will come back and play this course, again and again.
Back at home.
I have played for over a year now, and I must say that they have come a long way. Continuous improvements are going to make SO one of the better courses to play.
Don't waste your money
I don't understand why this course has some of the most expensive rates on golfnow. I was very disappointed with this course. A lot of the fairways had hazards because of some maintenance that was being done on the course (digging giant holes/muddy spots). This place is expensive for no reason, go play somewhere else.
Major Upgrades and improvements
Has a new owner and many improvements are evident - from the clubhouse (really good food now) to a retainer wall at #17 which will save two humongous trees which would have been left to die and fall if the new owner hadn't got this done pdq. I suspect there will be ongoing improvements - to make this one of the premier courses in DFW. It already boasted a great layout and the area is very nice - high tier homes and forest all around. The improvements to the driving range/practice areas are significant. I look forward to playing this course regularly and will recommend it to all my golf buddies.
Best shape it's been in.
This is the best that southern oaks has looked . Fairways were in great shape and the greens were forgiving . Well worth the money this time . I've played several times in the past few years and whoever managing it has got it back on track ! The cart girls and the bartender were complete sweethearts and made sure we were well equipped with beverages .
Improving conditions
Played the first time in over a year and the fairway conditions are much improved compared to prior experience last year. Greens were in really good shape but pace of putts were slow
Fairways need work
The fairways on most holes were very dry. We played on a Saturday afternoon & had to wait during our round because they were watering on the hole we were about to play. Greens are in good shape.
challenging course
considering how hot and dry its been course was in pretty good shape. if anything the fringe around greens were over watered. i had balls on 6 and 11 that became fried eggs in the fringe just 2 feet off the green.
challenging, but fun.
This course is a hidden treasure. We played on a Saturday morning in four hours, with a very slow foursome in front of us. Greens are in good shape. Good value on golfnow.com.
in bad shape.
I haven't played this course in a while and I see why. The greens were in good shape but the rest of the course needed attention. You had 1 hole that had sand the rest of them had play box sand with rocks. The fairways where dry it was like hitting off dirt. For the price I could have played another course.
Much Better
I always though this course was by far the best in the area, now I can say they are on the way to become the number 1 again. I played this weekend, fairways were almost perfect, traps well maintained, and greens just great. Definitely come back.
Needs a lot of attention
We were never told about the fairways being punched. We did not pay a lot of money for the round but did drive a good amount of time to get there. Seems like this course is going down the drain and quick!
If your looking for a long course, here it is.
Course is long yardage but it does not play as long because the condition of the fairways are hard pan and short grass promoting a lot if roll. Fairly designed. Good challenge. I would recommend playing at least once then personal preference will dictate return trip(s).
poor condition, bad fairways, terrible greens
the course is obviously not maintained properly. the fairways are spotty at best and the greens are not maintained fully.
Much Better
The track was in terrible condition a year ago but they have started to turn it around. Fairways and tee boxes are very green, maybe a little shaggy in places and the greens rolled fine. We enjoyed our round.
Solid Value
Course was empty at 3pm on a Saturday. Could be a good sign or a bad sign. Course is a solid challenge with equal amounts of scoring holes and holes that require above average shots to have a chance. Fairways do have some rough patches in them but for the most part are in good shape. Greens were very smooth and accepted shots very well. 2some played course right at 3 hours felt like the only ones on the course. Course is worth the deals after 3pm on golfnow. Great practice area aswell.
Great improvements
I played here two years ago and it was completely down. I come back this weekend and they have completely turned around. Greens were awesome, fairways almost perfect, rough well cut. Furthermore, no more ropes all over the course. Can't wait to play it again :)
Needs Work, but a nice layout
I have played this course many times over the years. The layout is great, the course length can play long from the back tees. The only problem that plagues this course is it needs more money coming in so it can be better maintained. More water for the fairways to grow the grass. The fairways are super hard so they need to be punched. The greens were punched and sanded as they are trying to at the very least have good greens. I hope this course can turn itself around because it is a fun and challenging layout. I will admit it is hard to go play a course when it needs work, I just hope this won't deter people from investing in it and giving it a chance.
Challenging front nine that eases somewhat on the back.
Had heard about this course that has hosted Open qualifier in the past. Tighter tree-lined fairways on the front open up to more forgiving fairways on the back. Course was in nice shape although greens seemed to be in "transition". Will definitely be back to reclaim a few strokes on the front side.
