The course was aerated

Greens and fairways were aerated. There was clumps of sand on the greens and large holes in the fairways. I realize that this has to be done, but we shouldn't be charged full price at the same time.

Hi, thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the conditions of the fairways and greens are very important to us. We are working to get everything up to par as the current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Southbridge Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Add one

The layout was good, conditions fair, but you have to add one to every approach shot or you'll hit into the face of each elevated green and come up short. I don't know if it's the Donald Ross influence in this region or just necessary to make every green a hogback. It's a bit monotonous.

Greens were a bit spotty and kept them from being true.

Greens

A few of the flags were placed in some of the rough spots of the green. The COVID 19 seems to have something to do with those rough spots.

Surprised

Was surprised with how nice the course was. Having heard people say bad things I was definitely shocked. Greens were smooth and fast and the layout was challenging lots of opportunities to work on some new strategies. Will be back.

Very dry

This area hasn’t had much rain lately and the watering system I’ve heard is broken. This caused the fairways and green to be very hard. It was like playing in Ireland where you can bounce the ball onto the green.

The carts are new and the staff very friendly and working hard to improve the condition of the course. With some rain and TLC this course will improve.

A work in progress

Southbridge is a work in progress as the club continues to make improvements to the course. Many of the fairway bunkers are still listed as ground under repair, and the cart paths are bumpy. The course plays hard and fast -- a solid drive can run out quite a bit (sometimes through the fairway), and the greens won't hold many shots. The greens are very fast, so chipping and putting can be tricky. Course personnel are friendly and accommodating -- Courtney on the beverage cart is an OUTSTANDING addition. The Rees Jones design is fun to play, and once the improvements are made to the course, it will be hard to find a better value.

Give them a chance

My in-laws live on number 4 and I have played the course 10+ times over the last two years. The first time I played there, it was horrendous. The fairways were concrete, the greens were burned, and tee boxes were sand! Over the last two years the course was purchased from what I was told was the HOA of Southbridge, and its really coming around and looking great. Give them a chance, support the course, and go out and have a nice round of golf. Without support, they can not make the improvements they need to make the course immaculate.

Bogey course

The first thing you realize is how beautiful the hole is. The second thing is the joke of a green. It’s like putting on concrete . It’s not tournament style, it’s ludicrous. Course needs to repair every square foot of pathway too. I would t pay more than $25 to golf here.

Hot day but great to go out and play

Course was wide open most of the day. Since it was hot, the greens were dry. First time playing this course but my son and I enjoyed it immensely. I will play when back in Savannagh.

The cart barn guy was profiling me because of my vehicle I guess being it wasn't new as the other ones. The course was not all that great. You can tell the was no winter rye grass put on the greens so therefore the greens played very fast. The rough is not maintained at all. Bunkers are being taken over by grass . The maintenance crew definitely needs to step up there game. I worked at a golf course and you can tell the maintenance crew needs to be talked to. And the bathroom was gross.

Southbridge is making upgrades!

This course seems to be getting better with each visit. Tee boxes and bunkers still need a little work, but the fairways are in pretty good shape. Greens were extremely fast -- downhill putts were impossible to judge. Southbridge has added a very friendly cart girl -- great addition! -- and my playing partners said the bar staff was outstanding (although I didn't go in for a drink myself). The course needs a starter at #1 to manage tee times, but other than that, it seems to be a nice place to play.

Better Planning Needed

I know this course is going through some issues with ownership. The residents are trying their best but yesterday they suffered a major glitch.

They allowed a blitz to go out at 8:30 with single carts. That meant at least five groups had to wait at least 30 minutes each to get out. The pro shop was very apologetic about the delay and the rest of the day was uneventful.

Pace of play was fine until my twosome caught up to a threesome who waited waaaay too long to tee off considering they were struggling off the tee. The course is still late to green up and the greens had residual weedy spots making putting frustrating.

I love the layout and will play the course many times this summer.

Course is coming back!

I am happy to report that this course is making a comeback. I took it out of my rotation a few years ago because it was a swamp. The new management is bringing it back and they clearly are putting some effort into it. The greens are improving and the fairways are coming back. Great job!

Southbridge Savannah

A well established course with early spring conditions providing nice fairways and greens. Extremely fast on the putting surface...a tough 2putt on a long putt for this first time player. (Usually love these greens). Loved the layout and plenty of room on most of the holes to allow a stray shot. Definitely worth a play!
