Great course

Southampton golf course was great. They lent my 15 year old son some clubs and we played 18 great holes of beautiful golf . The fairways were generous and the greens were immaculate.

It was a great day out.

Southampton municipal golf course

Course not holding up well to the wetter conditions. Very muddy and greens getting long . This is reflected in the price but probably won’t play here again until summer next year.

Poor. Poor. Poor conditions

The conditions were so unbelievably poor. The amount of putts and chips i had ruined by animal poo and mud clumps. The grass on the greens were the length that a fairway SHOULD be. And the “fairways” were the length and thickness of what rough should be. Really poor conditions and created a struggle on our play.

Great course

A great course layout and set up. Excellent value, so very busy on a Friday afternoon with good weather. Yes the course could benefit from a little more investment but then you would pay more too. Right now you just cannot get a better value for money on a golf course

Worth a visit....

A cracking challenge here, lots of different holes, through some stunning woodlands, handy bar and more on site, small pro shop, with the essentials....

Lovely to see the greenkeepers out raking the bunkers before the weekend, just a real shame that no sooner had they made it perfect, that the next person in there didn't have the decency to continue it on and rake their footprints and hacks! So frustrating! Likewise with divots and pitch marks, have the decency to repair them, wether they're yours or not! We did masses, it's not a race out there, so do the things that make a difference.

Unfortunately a fair bit of litter out there, along with a fair few beginner golfers who haven't yet learnt to shout Fore or let you through...or even acknowledge your existence!

Love the variety of holes, some very blind ones from the bothe the back tees, so please check ahead before teeing it off....

Good practice area, green and more, beginners 9 holes course inside the main 18 too, a real bargain for both courses.... Just expect a slow round at times....

Always enjoy playing here, as it tests your accuracy and skill set on most holes, due to drains, ditches and trees!

If you get around with the same ball, you've done well....enjoy....

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE, DO NOT GET PUT OFF BY THE FACT ITS A MUNI!!!!

£18 !!! £18 english pounds sterling !!!!

Second time I’ve played this course. Played it in the darkest winter and was sceptical to how it would be in the summer ….. however I was really pleasantly surprised !! For a municipal council run course they should be very very proud of what they’ve got !

Slightly rough around the edges for example tee boxes could be cut and maintained better, but everything else was fantastic value for money . A bit up and down in places, but some real gem holes, notably the 17th.

Greens were slow for summer conditions and could do with a shorter cut but overall they were all true, just a bit slow for my liking.

Staff were great and the scran in the clubhouse was superb !!

100% coming back

Not as good as it was

Still a lovely and challenging course but greens are the worst I have ever seen them and look poorly maintained the municipal always had fast lush greens but now there dry bobbly and weedy some look like they have a disease.

Tee boxes are also not cut to many where longer than they should be. It’s seems as if investment has been reduced since my time pulled out which is a shame as this place was one of my favourites a few years ago.

This is definitely worth it.

I hadn't played the course for 25 years and myself a 2 others decided to give it a go. On a Beautiful sunny day we pulled up at the course which I had booked through golfnow. The golf pro in the shop was welcoming and interested in making sure we were good to go. The course itself was in pretty good condition, the green were a little pitted due to previous golfer not repairing their pitch marks, but this didn't spoil the game. The whole course was a beautiful walk, with some challenging holes. We stopped at the 19th after and here the staff were friendly and welcoming. As a municipal course, I would highly recommend this course to all golfers, especially those looking for a first 18 at a very reasonable price if £18. Give it a go.
