Southwyck Golf Club

Course was in ok shape. Off the fairway was just weeds.
Greens were okay. Saw some left over aeration, but rolled pretty smooth. Played really slow, about 5 1/4 hours for 18.

There was no marshal to regulate play. Part of the blame has to go to the course as well. I think they schedule groups to close together. Profits trump players enjoyment

I’ve seen Southwyck at its best and at its worst. First of all, there are no more bunkers. They have filled them all in. A little strange but there is still plenty water and OB on every hole due to the houses. Tee boxes decent, fairways ok, but the greens are no joke. They are exceptional for the price. Staff is great.

Southwyck has some interesting golf shots due to the unique layout, but there are a lot of bad lies from the lumpy fairway turf. You will also find yourself in the rough after good tee shots if you don't know the course.

The staff is friendly enough. There is plenty of water in play, but none to drink on the course. Make sure you bring extra hydration or stock up before you tee off on a hot day.

I have played Southwyck numerous times over the years and the course is in great shape after all the rain in May/June 2021.

My issue has been that I have had some +5 hour rounds and this has been on a Friday morning tee usually. The pace of play is very slow typically and usually expect a 4.5 hour round, but over 5.5 is just way to long.

The lack of marshals on the course makes it difficult for the course to keep pace of play leading to longer rounds. Of course more Marshalls means more cost per round, but when your teeing off ~7 min a dollar more would fix this issue.

Seems that everytime I want to play Southwyck it rains. First 4 holes it was raining steadily. Surprisingly, the course has no thunder warnings-it"s play at your own risk..Thunder was far enough away so I played. Southwyck has a very challenging layout. It is situated within a housing development so a number of the fairways are narrow. In addition, it has some hills, so at least for several holes, it plays like a Links course. Some of the fairways on the front nine were not cut so it was difficult to hit good iron shots-better for woods. Back nine was better. Overall, the fairways were in very good shape. So too were the greens, althoigh several had burned areas. Given the course conditions the green fee was a little high. It plays like a $30-$32 course rather than a $35 that I payed. If you like narrow fairways with a challenging layout this a good course for you.

Southwyck's greens are in great shape. Excellent value for the money. It does play pretty slow and they have filled in all the bunkers. This took a lot of shot planning out of the game and because of the pace of play you have a lot of time to not plan a shot. Just grip it and fire type course.

The course was in decent shape. The greens had been sanded on the front nine but putted good. The only negative actually was a fivesome who were apparently playing for money and were overly slow and would not allow anyone to play through. Common courtesy says let faster players play through/.

Really nice track. Pace on a Saturday morning was good. Finished the round just over 4 hours. The greens roll true and are fast.

This was my first time out at Southwyck and it was a great experience! The course is in good shape, but the greens are in GREAT shape! They are fast, smooth, and roll true! The value at Southwyck can’t be beat!
