Southwyck Golf Club

My honest opinion is it’s comparable to a cow pasture. To start the greens were thick and had weeds all across them. The fairways were patchy and hard. The layout is good but the course itself is poor. If you’re just looking to get a quick nine in it’s ok. Honestly I won’t be going back unless the course conditions improve.

Avoid this course at all cost. Should be a $20 course. The greens were in terrible shape and you can tell the management doesn’t put any effort into maintaining this course. The bartender was unfriendly to make things worse. 1/10 - I give it a 1 bc pace of play was good

This course is mediocre for one thing: Golf. If you live in the neighborhood which surrounds the entire course, don’t expect anything more. There are no family activities, no bar or restaurant specials, not even personal cart usage. They get you in and get you out, like a bad municipal course.

One bright spot. The staff are the sweetest, kindest, most helpful folks around. While I haven’t had any conversations with them about my complaints, I’m sure they would love to do more for the local community if management allowed.

I’ve heard word that Southwyck GC is up for sale, I can only hope that upper management will change, as the potential for great success and community engagement seems nearly limitless, and offensively lacking as it stands today.

The staff is friendly and carts are clean. I know it has been rainy, but other course have managed weed control and kept the grass acceptable. Second cuts off fairways were very thick and tall - crab grass is all over the course and even several greens are seeing weed growth. With the Golf Now discount - it is better than simply whacking balls at a driving range - but if you want a serious golf outing, best to keep looking until they get this course back under control.

The pace of play would have been better, and we mentioned to a course marshal, if large slow groups would let others play through. We were a group of two behind a foursome. Every hole we watched the same player in that group hack at his golf ball, then walk around looking for it - only to hack again. The rest of his group would be putting out while he was still hacking away. We tried to get their attention and asked the staff - nothing. We followed said group for 18 slow moving holes.

One of the better courses for the money. There were some areas in the fairway that looked like a tractor drove through and the rough hadnt been mowed, so you would be 3 inches off the fairway but the grass was to your knees. Overall its an easy course, wide open fairways and a few par 3s with huge slopes add some difficulties. Water isnt a real issue on most of the course. for under $40, you cant beat it. I was sad the cart girl only came by once in a 4 hour round tho.

Fairways covered in crabgrass, second cut is not managed at all. Not managed well. If it wasn’t for golfnow hot deal, i would not play here again at full price ever.

What a wonderful inexpensive course to play at with friends. I’m looking forward to coming back soon!!!

Need directional signage!!

Tee box

Need 1000/150/200 yd markers or stakes

Basic course management 101

The greens are in way better shape. You still need to make sure you hit the ball in fairways.

No water stations. Need water stations throughout course- maybe 2 on the front 9 and 2 on the back nine.

This is a really fun course to play, however be advised that they have zero water coolers on the course (so bring your own cooler), and there are no ball washers either. If you can deal with those conditions then you’ll enjoy this course.

I got a very cheap last minute price. Greens had weeds popping up. Had to take relief to find smooth putting path to the hole. Hard ground,, lots of tall grass in the rough off the fairways. Mud bogs in spots where sprinklers were leaking. However, it’s playable and ok if you get it cheap. Golf course aficionados don’t bother.
