Southland Golf & Country Club

I left my phone,credit cards,&money on the cart,it was storming bad,we were running to get out of the weather,once to the car,I realized I had left my phone,went to the clubhouse,it was closed.the next morning I returned to retrieve my items to be tod first they hadnot fnd my items,than they want t the cart room and returned wih my items saying they were turned in that morning,all of my 💰 was missing $88,8 of which,I have since I returned from nam.i know their policy, honestly, i am just saying.

This course needs an upgrade. Have played other comparably priced courses in the area that are much better overall. Person in clubhouse was very friendly and got me going right away. Course layout overall is interesting. However, it needs a good bit of work. Sand traps have rakes, but no sand. Fairways through the greens are pretty decent and greens are in nice shape and roll well. Cart paths are not good and overall feel of the course if "old".

leaking sprinkler heads near at least 4 greens. sand-less barren bunkrs. cart paths breaking up. needs lotta fixing. greens actually pretty decent otherwise it would be total waste. i wouldn't go back.

The pros:

Good layout, decent greens, friendly staff, new carts

The cons:

Bunkers are garbage. Fairways are hard has a rock. Tee boxes are worn out. They haven't moved the pins in a year and as a result holes are collapsing (it does make putting easier), cart paths are crap. No drinking water on the course, no beverage cart, and the turn is nowhere near the clubhouse. Fresh cut grass everywhere so you can easily lose your ball in the fairway. Basically what everyone else has said in other reviews.

Also, don't bother trying to enter your score into the GHIN handicap system as it doesn't recognize this as a "golf course." I can see why.

As everyone else has already said, it could be a great course.

Good layout, decent greens (not great, but decent)

Fairways always hard and fast with very little grass. Tee boxes terrible. Sand traps are considered a free drop. New carts will be destroyed by the terrible paths and somehow, fairways as well.

Pity no one will put any money into it. Could be great.

The bunkers are hard and full of grass. The course does not serve alcohol, but there are beer cans scattered in the woods throughout the course. For a cost of $63 per round, it is not worth the fee. I pay less at much nicer courses, why is this so expensive, with no attention to the details?

Course is in terrible shape, impossible to get a tee in the ground as well as no water stations anywhere on the course. One of the lower end courses in the Atlanta area.

Just a couple changes and this could be a much better course. First, the cart path - there are a lot of spots where the path cannot be driven on. The course is taking the punishment for that as people drive around those spots. Second, the rough - I lost several "in play" balls just off the fairway because the rough is so high and the grass clippings are sitting on top. This should be maintained better. Lastly, cleanliness and functionality - there's no turn at the clubhouse. If you know this going in, it's fine. But, you expect to have certain things on a course like that - water and a bathroom. Bathrooms were out of order, water stations were empty, and several trash cans were overflowing. I've played here several times and it has always been this way. Ultimately, I will go back, but wish some things would improve.

They need to provide water coolers on the course for the 90 degree rounds in July and August

I played at Southland after a long delay at the airport due to weather. However, when we finally arrived at the course, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The Greens were in EXCELLENT CONDITION and we had a great 18 holes of golf.

The course has potential, but it’s neglected and run down. Wooden steps and bridges are in poor condition. Trash was not emptied and overflowing. No water on the course (9 doesn’t end near the clubhouse), so bring plenty of water and etc to stay hydrated. No Marshal and pace was so very slow. You’re not allowed to have a cart until your entire group is present. No bag drop. Bunkers are not kept up, they are not raked, most have grass growing in them and debris like pine cones is plentiful. Many tee boxes were without grass and very hard- good luck getting the tee in the ground. $10 for a very small bucket of range balls (irons only) I was disappointed..

The Greens are the best that I’ve ever seen them. The fairways are very good. However everything else is trash. The clubhouse is sparse. No shirts, shoes, balls or food. The signin area only has refrigerated drinks and snacks. Wow, this is as bad as I’ve seen it! There is no water on the course or cart girls. Bring your own liquids in the cart before you tee off. Nearly 100+ degrees and not a drop of water!!! The tee boxes, sand traps and cart paths are just plain awful.

Lastly there were not enough carts, as players were waiting for us to finish.

My takeaway…decent playing experience on the course, especially the greens, but not a place to invite a guest if you want to impress!!! A lot of potential if the owners invest more in the course.

I had a Great Time. Last Minute Tee-Time for a Quick Round

- It was HOT...🥵 • Big negative is - no watering / cooler location on the course (something simple and easy to help the guest during the summer)

- The green were soft and spongy, but in GREAT shape

Overall A Great Experience

No food or drinks (even water) to purchase though it is 90+ degrees outside. Course layout does not bring you back to the clubhouse after nine. Driving range does not allow you to hit anything over 200 yards. Greens are extremely long that the grain pushes the ball in random ways. No sand in the bunkers and weed filled; didn’t even have rakes. Rough has so many weeds that it makes it impossible to find a ball even with a good shot. Fairways are half dirt. 30 minutes late teeing off because they did not have enough carts. All of this for a $72 tee time.
