Awesome golf

This was a beautiful course, very challenging and in superb condition. Probably one of the best course I have played ever. Greens are firm and fast. Fairways are tight. Took the first 9 holes to learn how to play the greens. Breaks are going to freak you out when putting. Make sure to walk around and read your putts from every angle or you won’t see the correct read.

Good course

This was a nice course, a little bit pricey based on the difficulty. It took me an hour and thirty minutes to get there and I was hoping it was going to be as difficult as Bella Colina, but it was not.

I also noticed the lack of diversity which made me feel a little uncomfortable but thankfully no one was overtly obnoxious
Overall a good experience but pricey.

Lack of diversity? There are four par 3's, four par 5's and the rest are par 4's. Are you saying there are too many par 4's?

Amazing Pete Dye Exprience.

The Master golf course designer hit a home run with this one. I've played numerous Dye courses and never expected a layout like this in Florida. I wont spoil it with it details....just exprience it yourself. Greens were punched probably a week or two prior to my round, but still rolled fast a true. Bunkers were under repair, but you're supposed to stay out of them anyway....!!

Best course in North Tampa

This was the first time playing Southern Hills. From the bag drop to check in the facility was top notch. The Pete Dye design was great. A lot of elevation change with dynamic bunkering.

The course had aerated the greens but they gave us a discount that was not advertised. Even with the greens under repair they were still better than 90 percent of the courses in the area.

Everything was thought of. Free range balls before the round. Cart service throughout the round and they had the restaurant open (with masking and social distancing protocols).

Southern Hills is a premier course and you get a premier experience.

Top notch course

We did play afternoon on a nice day that was cool in am. They did have cart path only on hole nine. It was a 4.5 + hr pace due to a windy day with a lot of golfers. The greens were fast but would receive a shot well. It is a course you should play, just get your correct tee box as fairways were wet so roll out of tee shot was minimal

Cart Path Only No Fun

With an inch and a half of rain the night before, course was “cart path only”... which made it difficult to play even though it was a rain free sunny day. We felt a few holes should have been cart path only while most holes were very useable. There was also the 90 degree option that could have helped. Its a great course with friendly staff... but playing the course cart path only detracted from enjoying the round.

Played in November 2016 - Great Course

Played this course a few years back. Fun track in great shape. Played with a deputy and got a police/military discount which was nice. I believe they have some korn ferry qualifying tournaments at this course as well but could be wrong on that?!? Would definitely come back. Started was super nice and helpful as well.

Fantastic Scenic Course

Fairways and Greens were in excellent condition. Very scenic with beautifully tree lined holes with lots of hills and doglegs. Many fairways have a lot of slopes, mounds and bunkers as is typical for Pete Dye courses. Most greens have many undulations, breaks and were fast. A must play course in great condition.

Southern Hills does it again!

My third time playing this gem. Truly a well kept secret that I have done my level best to let the cat out of the bag. Impeccable conditions. Classic links layout, well bunkered. Could use a water hazard or two but overall every round was memorable and I am always in awe of how well it is maintained.

Lovely experience

First time I played this course. Heard great things so while back on holiday we took the chance to play it! Greens were second to none! Very fast and very true so what could you ask for. Staff were brilliant, Friendly and helpful. The day was spoilt by an extremely cold morning! My only negative about the course was the bunkers. Poor upkeep and didn’t seem to suit the style of the course. Small pot bunker around rolling hills seemed out of place. Still worth taking a day trip to play here!

Private club experience all the way.

Club used to be private but now that it’s available to the public the standards have not relaxed.

Great Course in Excellent Condition

This was my first time playing Southern Hills Plantation. It was a great experience in every way.

The course is very well maintained and the layout is diverse, very scenic and challenging.

The weather was VERY cold and very windy, but despite the frigid conditions, we had a great time.

The clubhouse and facilities are very nice. They have great practice facilities as well as a nine hole "short course" to work on your short game.

The Pete Dye greens were very large (as pretty much all Pete Dye courses have large greens) perfect and very challenging. I can't wait until I get the opportunity to play again and hopefully it will not be freezing cold as it was today.

Stunning Dye Track

Course is amazing, we had 8 inches of rain prior to the round so it was soaked and the bunkers were washed out but the course is truly amazing. Practice facility was very cool and comprehensive. Fairly forgiving off the tee but strategic layout makes approaches difficult and the greens are challenging. To be able to play a pete dye course of this calliber is a treat. Course is semi private at times throughout the year so get on when you can, you wont regret it
