Worth the cost

Excellent value for the money. Very friendly staff, the course is kept in good condition, has some fairly easy holes but, some pretty challenging holes also.

First Time Playing

February 2024 round

First day for the course to be open so conditions were a little rough, but expected that going in and green fees reflected this. Nice layout and fun to play.

Great Course

Over all a great course, holes tend to be a little to close to each other for my liking, pace of play was nice on the front 9 but on the back 9 it slowed tremendously, but a great value for what it cost to play.

First Time Playing

It would have been helpful knowing the Greens were recently aerated. I drove 160 miles to this course. Had I known, I would have played a different course. The staff said they told GolfNow about he aerating. I feel like I wasted my money and blame GolfNow.

Great course

Love playing this course. Friendly staff, good food at the restaurant and the course it’s well taken care of. The price is also good.Only suggestion would be to have a Ranger drive around periodically to monitor slow play.

Layout is a bit difficult

This was my first time playing at Southwind Overall it is a decent course for a reasonable price and the staff was very friendly. However, the layout is tight and cramped. All the holes are very close together and there is even a par three where you nearly hit over the previous green.
