Southland Golf & Country Club

Had a good time out there today. It was good to see the clubhouse following the CDC guidelines.

Great course, needs more golf carts for the weekends, needs some tree work done but will definitely be back

Staff is doing what they can with a budget that is insufficient for the task at hand. It looks like mowing the course and fertilizing the greens is all they can do. They have given up on the sand traps, they are filled with grass and debris but very little sand. Greens are surprisingly good given the resources they have available. Could be a beautiful short course with an infusion of huge amounts of cash. Until that happens, I won’t return.

Under the circumstances, it’s tough to have good maintenance work. But the bunkers need the sand.

The staff overbook their course, do nothing to enforce pace of play, and don’t give a crap in general. It started pouring down rain for 15 minutes strait, and when I asked for a rain check I was told “it’ll pass” and I had to argue with the guy until he finally gave me a rain check. Doubt I’ll ever use it though, consider it $30 wasted.

The course is definitely challenging in that there are several blind spots once you hit off the tee box. Make sure that they pair you with someone as that will probably make it much easier to spot your ball.

It has some great views and everyone on the course was very nice.

This is Southland, not East Lake. The course is exactly like its ALWAYS been except the greens are actually really plush right now. A great value for such a fun layout. Roll your ball in the fairway, use a tee, and pull it out of the bunker and you'll have a blast. The snobs on here rating it so poorly are probably people in the neighborhood trying to keep people away to reduce the crowd :)

First of all, the staff was very unfriendly. I booked the tee time at 7AM. They were not open until 7:20. The way they handled the situation was very unprofessional and rude.

Tee off area was rock hard that I could not even put the tee into the ground. Some tee areas did not even have grass. It was just dry sand and weeds. Fairways were rock hard as well. I was scared to do a full swing because if I hit the ground wrong way. I felt like I was going to get injured.

The bunkers were also now sands. It was just hard ground that balls sometimes bounce out of the bunker. Even if it got in, you have to take them out and play because there are rocks everywhere. Most bunkers had grasses growing inside of them.

You cannot pay me to golf here.

Love the tract. Fairways, tee boxes, sand traps...all need some tender loving care. Greens were in Kerry good shape.

This was my second time playing this course and it was just as brutal this time as it was a year ago. It's extremely challenging for all the wrong reasons. Tee boxes are shot, Fairways are either rock hard or crabgrass and the bunkers are the worst i've seen at any course. Staff was rude and seemed like they didn’t want anything to do with being there and being helpful.

Please don't waste your time with this course. It's like playing on a rock with crabgrass. The first time I played here I thought maybe it was a bad day. NOPE!! Tee boxes are rock hard and not maintained and the bunkers are the worst i've ever seen. Not only are they not maintained but there not even sand. More like infield dirt on a baseball field. Staff is very rude...I could go on and on but trust me, spend your $ somewhere else!

Greens were in good shape, slow but good shape. Fairways were ok- just depended on the hole. Some were playable, others hadn’t been cut in sometime. Rough was very long in places but that made for a challenge around the greens. Where maintenance lagged significantly was in the overgrowth of shrubs and bushes. The fourteenth was a good example. The overgrowth was so bad we couldn’t see the fairway, green or anything to hit an accurate tee shot.

The last three holes were in good shape and made for a fun finish.
