Use to be great.

Have not played in a few years and it has gone straight down hill. It’s a shame because it use to be in great shape greens were terrible.

Needs Work

Tee box’s are so hard that you need a hammer to put your tee in. The greens have more weeds than burning man. Fairways are surprisingly good, so the only thing you’ll be doing is getting some good iron practice. Really only use this course since it’s cheap and close to my job.

Greens need work

I love the course, layout is good and it’s a good challenge. I was not happy with the greens, not sure what was going on with them, you could not putt on them, they were caked with something and seemed like there was no grass on the surface of the greens!

Terrible greens and pace of play

Worst greens I’ve ever played on. Hope they can get some help on these. Got to hole 6 tee box to find 3 other groupings. 4 total groupings on one tee box. Called pro shop they said there is a group 49 mins behind and they don’t have any staff to send out. I skipped ahead to hole 10 and played fine after. But I shouldn’t have to do that. Also did I mention how bad the greens were?

Worst round ever

A hour and 25 mins to play 5 holes. 3 groups sitting on 6 tee box waiting. Called pro shop and they said they looked and a group is 41 mins behind pace. Had 3 open holes in front of them. Unreal. Pro shop said they don’t have anyone available to send out to hurry them along. Fairways and tee boxes are ok condition. Greens are atrocious. Hands down worst greens I’ve ever played on.

Good price for 9 holes, nice clubhouse and great staff. The greens are unplayable. Dirty, painted ground with very little grass.

Terrible greens

Nobody told us that the greens were me in such bad condition. It’s one thing that they’re being aired, but it’s another if they are infested with so many weeds.

Greens are terrible

Course layout is very nice and the staff is friendly. However, the greens are absolutely terrible and the cart paths are in bad shape.

Out of Town Round

The greens had recently been aerated and sanded making them almost impossible to use. If this was made known prior to booking, then we would have selected another course. I understand the need for course maintenance and want to recognize the great things the superintendents do, but some maintenance makes playing a course difficult.

The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, but I wish they would have made known that the greens had just been aerated.

The course layout, fairways and tee boxes were great.

Reluctant to give reviews that are less than appreciative but felt like I should share this.

I would recommend this course.

Don’t do it

Staff was great! Payton is a doll and super friendly. That’s about all I can say good about this place. Tee boxes are far from level. Fairways need some love. But the greens! In the 40 years I have played golf I have never played on such terrible greens. I can’t believe they even charge people to play here. Embarrassing! Save your money and go somewhere else.

Nice layout - Bad conditions

As the course is now, I responded that I would not recommend this course. Greens were overrun with poana making putting impossible. I would try the course again if I knew the greens were in good shape. I had anticipated it being better. Pro shop folks were nice and pace of play was great.

So Many Weeds!!

This course has so much potential but the greens are atrocious. On the bright side, we didn't see a single other player during our round of 9.

The greens are a problem

Southbridge has so much potential to be a GREAT VALUE golf course. The Rees Jones design has some fun holes, but the greens right now are rough. In their current condition, some are virtually unplayable. Some have so many bumps due to weeds that every putt is an adventure. Others are just sand greens. This is not to say the superintendent is at fault; Southbridge is a challenging piece of land to maintain, especially with a limited budget. Even in the best conditions, these greens are tough to maintain, and the course doesn't get enough sunlight due to the surrounding tree canopy. Maybe when the weather gets really warm, the Bermuda will kick in and choke out the weeds. From tee to green, it's a fun golf course, though it would not hurt to clear away some of the trees to open things up a bit. Yes, Brian Harman grew up on this golf course, but he would probably cringe if he saw these greens.

Played 4/4/25

The greens are horrible. They look like there were hundreds of plugs put in them and now they are covered in little patches of grass. Ball bumps and hops all the way to the hole. The rough needed to be cut. The grass is high, thin and seeds are now forming. I would advise not to play this course at $65 a round. In fact, we were a 3 some and paired with a member. He was so embarrassed of the course, he demanded that he take us to lunch!
