Best shape ever

I have never seen the course in better shape. The greens roll smooth (a little slow) but true. Perfect shape. Fairways are nice and lush. I never once got a barren lie, the grass was nice and fluffy. Rough just long enough to cause a little problem but nothing major. Some tee boxes are a bit overgrown but no real issue. I have never seen Southland in better shape.

The cart path is challenging but who cares, the fairways, greens, and lack of a crowd plus the layout make up for it.

The person checking me in was super nice. I was late for my tee time and he worked me right in. I saw only five people on the entire course. Finished in two and a half hours.

A completely pleasant surprise.

Great trip from South GA

Played while visiting Atlanta. We enjoyed the layout and views of Stone Mountain and ponds. Course staff was friendly. Only issues were: only 1 bathroom at the turn and it was locked (difficult for female players), weeds and rock in the sand bunkers so they needed attention, three groups of 4 in front of us were playing slow and no marshall to push them or let others pass (but that is common everywhere).

looking great

I'm amazed at how they have turned this course around. Greens are wonderful. They have vastly improved the fairways since past year. Once tee boxes are done this course will be top notch. I love playing here.

Course is not Worth $60

This course is not worth $60. The bunkers are terrible. The greens were slow. The driving range did not have balls to hit. No water out on the course to drink. This course use to be on my list but now I remember why I haven’t played here in awhile..

No Rain Check, just apology

Overall the course is okay. You get what you pay for. Friday afternoon $42 w tax. Greens are good, fairways okay, and cart paths very aged and broken by tree roots.

Disappointing that they would not offer any type of rain check due to thunder storms with lightning. We paid $42 for 8 holes played. They did apologize, but said no to any consideration of a rain check for partial play.

There is no water on the course. Sincere regards.

Price Increased, Course Quality Decreased. NO WATER

We've played at Southland for almost 10 years. The course has changed owners/management several times, the newest team is the worst by far. The tee boxes are destroyed, nothing but burned up mud and divots. You struggle to find any grassy areas to tee your ball.

The course is an 18-hole loop, you do not pass the clubhouse at the turn. There is one empty water cooler station that has not had water in it since COVID. We played last week and the bathroom sink had also been shut off. We asked the very unfriendly and rude man working the counter and he said we could buy as many bottles of water as we liked before the round, but they weren't going to stock the water cooler again.

They have new carts but the brakes don't work well. It's very hard to safely stop going down hill. The cart paths are torn up. You have to walk over a stretched out chain to get back to your car with your clubs, they said they don't trust the local residents not to steal the golf carts so there is no easy access to your car.

The pace of play is abysmal, there is no ranger to be found. The tee times regularly take 5.5 hours on a Saturday to complete a round, the course is always backed up and slow.

The bunkers are terrible. Only half of them have sand, the rest of them are red clay mud pits full of weeds or standing water, depending on the hole. The green side bunker off 16 is usually 3' underwater.

No food/drink options at the turn. No beverage cart options.

All of the bridges and elevated tee box steps are in horrible shape, it's a miracle they don't have constant injuries out there.

This course has steadily gone downhill over the last decade, the only thing going for it are the greens, which are shockingly nice for a course this terrible.

I would save my money and play at Stone Mountain, Sugar Creek, Smoke Rise, or Mystery Valley nearby. Southland is nothing but rude staff and horrible conditions.

No water?!?

The course was OK but the staff says ownership refuses to supply water coolers around the course. This is not only on a 98 degree day, but year round! Course regulars say they havent been provided for years at this course. No beverage service carts either. Talk about liability.

Water is provided for purchase in the clubhouse, but you can only access it before the round, as the course continues for 18 holes before you make it back to the clubhouse. We brought 4 bottles of water for 2 people, but at 98 degrees, they were empty by the 13th hole, so we quit and had to drive the cart past around 10 groups to reach the clubhouse.

Also, no bag drop and no ability to drive the cart to your vehicle for loading and unloading.

Until they provide even the basic amenities of a golf course, I wouldnt waste your time.

dont get fooled by the Country Club in the name

very poor customer service, no water on the course, no notification at the time of checking, you do not pass by the "club house" after the 9th hole so no chance to get water. it was over 100 degrees and when you call the proshop no one answered, this course is not in good condition. the price on Golf now after taxes and fee is the same at the course.
