Golfer Reviews
Enjoyable Round
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.
Descent
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.
Hey there Herf10. Sorry about the miscommunication. We have changed General Managers in the last 7 days and we know a few things have slipped through the cracks.
Hope to see you again soon at Southern Oaks. Details on our new GM, Brian Matt: http://goo.gl/Hczv1A
condition of course
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.
Hi NewTaylorMade!
Thanks for taking the time to post your review and appreciate your recommendation to others.
Hope to see you again soon
The staff at the check in desk was very professional .
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 !!!
Ira saves the day! Mr. Hagen, thank you for your review and mentioning Ira. He is one of the reasons I love working at Southern Oaks, so kind.
Sorry about the mix-up and we hope you'll come back to Southern Oaks in the near future
Greatly Improved
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.
Hi there- Glad to hear you gave Southern Oaks another chance. We're working on the course and each day we see improvement and it looks like we have this on the right track. Hope you enjoyed our new GPS units and we look forward to seeing you again at Southern Oaks
Nice course
Some of the greens and fairways are in rough condition. But you can tell they are working hard to fix them.
Thanks for the review of Southern Oaks. Keeps getting better each day- hope to see you again, soon
Superb golf course
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.
Sterling! Thank you for the kind words and the great rating on GolfAdvisor. Happy to read you enjoyed our new GPS units. Have a great rest of the season and I hope to see you again at Southern Oaks
Getting better
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.
Hi Thep, thanks for the review on GolfAdvisor. We'll keep posting those great specials and we hope you'll keep coming out to play. Thanks for noticing our hard work :-)
Getting much better
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!
Hi Cbates
Glad you liked the new GPS at Southern Oaks and thanks for noticing our hard work. We'll keep at it and hope you'll keep playing Southern Oaks
making a comeback
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
Hi Dustin,
Thanks for your review on GolfAdvisor. Glad you like the new GPS and hope to see you again soon, at Southern Oaks
Very good course
I really enjoyed my round of golf, staff was really friendly, they met me at the parking lot with my cart. The condition is very good, everyone's greens around DFW are the same right now. Good course layout.
Front 9 is very poor
Terrible front 9. This is probably why they start you on hole 10. The back 9 is excellent, but the front 9 completely takes away from how good the overall course is.
Hi there
My name is Bailey and I'm new at Southern Oaks Golf Club. I read your poor review of Southern Oaks on GolfAdvisor.com and wanted to share a few updates with you.
First let me say thank you for taking the time to write the review. We appreciate the opportunity to learn about the course and our operation.
Since early July we have not received a bad review, all 11 golfers, posting reviews, have recommended our course. We hope this means we have the course back in form but we know you are the ultimate judge on that. Please contact me at baileyteetimes@gmail.com as I'd like to provide you a promo code for a return visit. Yep, I'm asking you to come and play the course again and consider updating your review or posting a new one. We want to earn back your business and we're willing to sell you a very cheap round of golf to do it.
Thanks again for the review- it helped us to learn about our golf course and we're very thankful for that.
Update on new GM at Southern Oaks: http://goo.gl/Hczv1A
Good layout, but needs a little more upkeep
It's a very fair layout. I liked almost all of the holes. The holes are mostly tree lined but there is room to miss and still find your ball on most misses. The greens are on the slow side but fairly smooth.
On the bad side there were two temporary greens on the front 9. I'm not sure how long it will take to get them playable.
That said I will be back even though it is a drive to get out there from FTW
Great staff, lots of variety in the course layout
A great day to play and this course is always a great choice. The staff very friendly, the course in great shape. There are two temporary greens on the front, but the rest is well maintained. The variety of the layout make this a fun course as you do not have hole after hole of par 4 repeat.
Go check this course out
I have been delaying playing this course, due to all the talk of the greens. Yes, there are currently 2 temp greens, and some blemished areas (not to interfere on 1 putts) on a few other greens. But, there is nothing to complain about at this facility!....great layout, tee boxes & fairways are great....staff is great. A top notch course open to general public!...give it a go.
Very nice course...but
Very nice course, just picked day right after aeration, so greens not in good shape, will play again when in better shape. Not much water, bunkers everywhere, would be nice if it really was sand and not Texas clay mix. Moderate to hard.
Quick round on a SUN
Played in little less than 4 hrs.
$25 on GOLFNOW.
Fairways in great shape.
Greens had their issues (2 temp greens) but all Bermuda greens are struggling this year.
Staff top notch and friendly.
Greens are just not good enough
The greens are just in terrible condition. I know it was due to the harsh winter. The fairways are good. There's always a bunker or two full of sprinkler water which has always been an issue here
Dead greens
I hear the greens are getting better. Maybe next year. I will not go back before then
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your review. Hope you were able to keep it out of the woods and hope you had a great day.
Hope to see you again soon.
