This course is a worrk in progress. Greens were superfast, painfully fast, fairways improving, Cartpaths are really bad in places and need repair. Good value.

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!

First Time Playing

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!

Not Good

Unfortunately, this course appears to be on a deteriorating trend. We played here a few times a couple of years ago and the course was fine. The greens and fairways now are bad and many of the sand traps are unplayable..

The layout of the course is really nice which makes the condition even more sad. This course needs some serious attention but it could be really nice again.

Making Progress

Since the takeover there is a huge difference in the course. Finally dried out and 90 degree rule in affect, unfortunately the avg. Joe doesn't know or care to know. The pace was slow today since Wyatt told the first groups it was cart path only, but to see the members a few holes back driving in the rough?,,,,People still dont fill divots. WATCHED and waited while two ladies hacked it up. Nice day out but way too slow. Tees and fairways were playable and greens quick due to the cold weather, still poa patches on them. Some bunkers still under water. Nice job on some bridge repair. HOA is doing a good job....in time will be nice.

Course conditions recovering

Course needs some TLC. Layout is interesting and challenging. Condition of fairways and greens need water and fertilizer. Most bunkers are marked unplayable and need complete overhaul. Pace of play was affected by a foursome of non golfers trying to learn the game. Had no concept of allowing faster groups to play through (which would have been everyone!)

Could really be nice

Played both days this weekend and it was wet which is fine. Cart path only marked in the clubhouse at the register, stapled to the scorecard, and posted on the 1st and 10th tee box but yet almost everybody is riding all over the fairways rutting it up.

Mentioned it to a member of the staff at the turn but still no enforcement on either days.

Pace of play was also very slow. Seems they need to book tee times further apart or have a start master. Saturday we had a 12:31 tee time and didn’t hit our first ball until 12:53.

This is a very fun course to play and was thinking about a membership but after seeing the way they let people abuse the course I might pass.

Wet

First off......the course needs alot of work. Tees, fairways ,greens and traps. They are under new management so i understand the magnitude of work it needs. Not to shame anyone just being honest. I think by summer it will much better. Greens were hard to navigate all the poa patches on them. In my past, tees and greens and fairways mowed would bring more play if the were consistent. Also, mother nature has not coperated. Good luck., love the track. See you back in the summertime.

Course was in pretty good shape. Some greens needed work but overall was good play but weather over the last week and today necessitated cart-path only which never is a good thing.

Winter conditions leave much to be desired

Course was very wet, cart path only, but nobody in the pro shop bothered to mention it. Fairways are dormant, it is winter but there was very little grass making any shot very difficult. Greens were ok.

Pace of play was very slow and we couldn’t figure out why. We were behind a twosome who were waiting for shots to the green that there was no way they could make, like waiting for the second shot on a par 5 thinking that they might hit the foursome that was still 300 yards away. No way were they going to make the green but they must have thought it was the Masters. Anyhow, lots of mud, very poor playing speed and not much to offer here in the winter. We’re local so will likely come back but not till the grass is growing again.

Still trying

Let me start by saying I like this course. I like the layout, I like the carts, I like the staff and I know the course was recently taken over by a group of concerned residents. But their problems still remain.

While some traps are pristine (raked with new sand) the others (majority) are weedy, full of water or just plain unkept. There is algae on some tees because they don't get enough sun. Some trees need to be taken down.

It was wet when I played but most of the local courses haven't had very many dry days since a big rain. I'll keep playing this course but will wait until spring/summer gets here and see how much it has improved.
