Fun course

Great fun. A lot of character complimented by rolling hills, multitudes of bunkers, true rolling greens, and minimal water hazards.

Well worth the time and money. Great course for Fall golf.

Crossing the state

When I travel thru Tallahassee, I try to play a round at Southwood. The course is always in great shape, greens are perfect, and the staff is very friendly, even to Golfnow customers. Everything about the course is first rate: club house, fairways, new carts, pro shop, and the staff. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Southwood on a Sunday

Course is in very good shape, despite some areas in the rough being overgrown. The golf carts are on their last leg and ours died on hole 14. Snagged a hot rate and it was a good value for that amount.

SouthWood was in great shape this week. And the price of the HotDeal was $13 a person to ride 18! $13! So needless to say it was an excellent value.
The chicken salad sandwich was an excellent choice on the turn as well!

For the hot deal price, well worth playing. I wouldn't pay $70 but there are few options in Tallahassee and Southwood is the best public course. Great shape, good layout.

Beautiful course in great condition. A great time was had!

This is one, if not the best course in the Tallahassee area. Course conditions are the best you are going to get in town. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in excellent condition. Greens play very slow so make sure to get on the practice green before starting.

The rough is very, very thick so try to avoid at all costs! It was almost unhittable in the rough, and finding your ball was a tough task (I did lose a few balls I thought I knew exactly where they landed, but the rough stole them away). Rough was at least 2 feet in most areas.

Staff is polite and top notch. Met you at the cars to get your bag ready and when you leave, help you get the bag into the car. Cart girl was around for the round and the ranger made a few pass by's to check on us and to monitor the speed of the rounds.

Overall this was a great time and I will be back!

Don't miss out on this course!

I have been playing a few different courses lately and stumbled upon this Hot Deal. Hands down this is the best kept course in Tallahassee! Perfect fairways and slick greens made for an overall challenging but rewarding experience. I will be back to play again.

Great for the price

The course layout was very good. The greens had just been punched and were a little bumpy and slow but overall, good condition.

excellent course

wow, what a great course and a great time. was in town for NCAA baseball tourney. Played with son. We got paired up with two members who were fantastic with local knowledge of course. Greens had recently been punched but still ran true and somewhat fast. Great layout. Golfed very well for first time playing course. Staff was very friendly, cart girl was around often. Played in Tallahassee many times just never at Southwood. i'm kicking myself now knowing what i was missing. Will definitely play here again when in town. Do yourself a favor and play this course, you will not regret it. Go Noles!

Must Play Course

This was a very nice course. The greens were a little slow due to aeration, but the fairways and the rest of the course was in very good shape.

Winter greens weren't as good as normal

They don't overseed but several greens had crabgrass. First time I've ever played here when the greens weren't great. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape.

Not up to usual standards

Several traps were unusable due washouts from heavy rain from previous week. Cart broke down on first hole, it may have had battery issues. Forced us to back-up from first drive to pro shop. Hotdog at the turn was cold. Greens were in good shape.
