Great value for money on a nice layout

For under £20 this course is a must play during the summer months. Tees and fairways are not the greatest but considering the course is maintained by the council they are fine. The greens were in super condition and a joy to putt on. Staff were very friendly in the clubhouse.

Municipal Gem

Why do we not have more golf courses like this. Affordable, accessible and open to all. The course is challenging and interesting. The council staff are equal to green staff at a premium private club. I would imagine it is a better summer course than a winter one

Tricky Course Good Layout

Nice course tee off and greens not brilliant but I’m sure as the summer goes on they will get better

We had a tee off at 11am but the tee time was changed to 11:30 apparently they can do that

Frustrated

So we tee’d off at 16.10 and left the course after 9 holes at 19.03 as the 2 four balls in front of us where VERY SLOW and when we see them waiting to tee off on the 10th we decided to call it a day. Paid for 18 holes but don’t think we’d have got 14 holes in at the rate it was anyway. Normally we can get around in 4 hours for 18 so frustrating really.

Perfect Friday evening golf

Really nice to be back at the muni. Haven’t played for a while but REALLY glad the council have taken it back. Looks great and in good condition. Well done to all that have worked on it.

Need to sort out the mud

I like this course a lot, good to see work being done to course to help the drainage, especially on the greens, however, the fairways are too muddy, not boggy just muddy.

Greens are normally very good, and I’m sure the upcoming spring maintenance will get them tip top again. Can’t wait to come back, might wait until warm weather comes back.

Good condition considering the time of year

Nice course, long holes for a newbie but the condition of the course helps even with the wet and cold we've had recently. Pretty clear layout and all round good to play. Will definitely be back.

Southampton municipal course

A really good course. Was a little boggy but expected for this time of the year. Great value for money. Not an easy course with some great holes and long par 4'. Can't wait to play again

In great condition

We haven’t played here for nearly 2 years as didn’t feel like money was being put back into the course but we could see the difference. Would play again most weekends as long as the weather is good. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to challenge themselves as playing really well now.

Poor

There is No fairways and the greens are terrible and you have to hit off Mats might swell have no bunkers as there's no sand in them needs a lot of work

Great value

This is a very good value for money course and has a very relaxed feel during the week. There are some very challenging par 4s and a couple of very nice par 3s. The greens are okay and the fairways are acceptable. The long rough is nowhere near as long as it used to be so much less time searching when a tee shot goes wayward, this is a big improvement.

Course has nice long holes

Good course to play - nice long holes to test your golf - I’d like to play again maybe more in the spring or summer when greens and fairways have hardern up as some greens you had to putt hard to get near hole - overall though looking forward to going back and playing again.
