Southland Golf & Country Club

I noticed the club house has been cleaned up and no longer a sea of used balls and old, beat up old clubs. The staff was informative and friendly. I was able to get a sandwich, also there is a beverage cart on the course.While I was there a new chipping green was being installed. The greens were a little slow but in great shape. My group played in 4.5 hours on a Sunday morning. The value and condition of the course can not be beat.

This course is a good layout with greens that were In great shape. A little slow but I think they are close to aerating them. The staff that we saw was very nice . They just need more of them and more course maintenance. The need to institute a program of retirees that play for free to be volunteer Marshalls on the weekends. Pace of play was very slow. And course could be excellent with more money put into everywhere but greens. Will playbit Will probably try to play midweek and not on weekend

I started playing at this course 10 years ago when it was a patchy green dirt course. It was the place to go play cheap and could do whatever you wanted. But I will say it’s gets better and better every year and this year the greens are amazing just perfect. You can just tell how squishy but yet firm. The tee box’s and fairways are good for the most part but much better than at being. Oh did I say how nice the greens are. Because they are amazing. Lol. Really great job on the cousre and thanks for cleaning up that club house.

Great course, nice layout. Greens were beautiful, but a little fuzzy. Maybe they were not cut because of all the rain.

Course was in pretty good shape for this time of year, although sand traps on course can use some fill and grooming. Greens were slow due to being recently dressed.

Tuff, course, but the greens were good. The layout is tuff you need to play in the fairway, or the short grass.

Very confusing starting from the parking lot. There was a car backed up on the sidewalk right in front of the entrance to the pro shop. Can’t carry clubs inside shop and it’s a maze to find where you can place clubs. Once inside, they were unable to use their credit card machine. No wi-fi or something. Once paid, I was handed a cart key and told to pair up. Once outside at the carts there was no starter or attendant. I was a single so I asked some other golfers their tee times. There were two foursomes for the 12:20 tee time that I had also booked. I ended up pairing up with the 12:40 twosome and waited all day due to the over booking and no Marshals or rangers. The course is a great layout with some really nice holes. The greens were bumpy but rolled relatively fast. Maybe 1 out of every 10 bunkers had any sand in them, many had standing water inside them. Very pretty course with the large areas of rock everywhere reminding you there is a big mountain of stone nearby. Bottom line, this course has some really nice holes and is a fun test of golf. There was some speculation among the golfers I overheard that there had just been a management change. If money is spent on course maintenance this course could be really, really good. And the gas golf carts were great.

Let me start this review by saying I was super excited to play this course for the first time after looking at pictures and course details on the internet prior to pulling up. It was a Saturday but still from the time we walked in the club house it was madness. They didn’t have record of our tee time and I don’t event know if they’re computer was working. The man asked me how much I was “supposed to be” paying and I paid. The range was small and in terrible condition. They were out of carts and we got off almost 30 minutes after our tee time. The pace of play was terrible with no Marshall was no where to be found. I can’t be mad at myself because it is a public course with decent prices and it was a Saturday afternoon but I did not enjoy my round after I finally finished close to 6 hours later. I guess you get what you pay for and this was the case at Southland. The greens and fairways were super dry and not in good shape. If it wouldn’t have been slammed and the course looked like it did in the pictures I would be come back but until then I will take my business elsewhere.

Pros:

Cheap rate.

Greens are fast, but good condition.

Cons:

Booked a 1:40 tee time for a twosome on GolfNow but there was a foursome and a threesome that somehow had the exact same tee time when we showed up at the clubhouse.

Got a golf cart that had no roof on it because it was the only one available at the time.

Pace was obnoxiously slow - only got through 9 holes in 3 hours so we just quit even though we paid for a full 18.

I trusted the four star review on here and what I thought was a decent rate to play but $25 for 9 holes just isn’t worth it. Bummed because it was a waste of a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

12 holes, 4.5 hours before we left. Do I need to say anything else? This course has such potential. It's so sad it's run by morons

Great first impression… Not so much the second! Played the course a couple weeks ago by myself with a great pace of play. My son and I went out last week and it was ridiculously slow. We skipped four holes and it still took 4 1/2 hours To finish! The clubhouse in the course itself has great character!
