Meh!

The definition of average! Greens were nice, tee boxes hard as a rock and the fairways need a ton of work! Nice layout but the course is begging for some attention. I'd go back for $40 but that's about it.

No Rain at Scenic

Great round of golf with the family. (My wife and two elder guys) Course is very challenging for the novice and even the seasoned pro. Lots of water to watch out for and sand boxes to play in. I had my share of both. The staff is awesome. Even dealing with a faster foursome coming up behind wanting to play through.

I have played this course many years ago and it is still a great round of golf. It must be on your "to play" list!

Pace of play-

I’ve played this course several times over the last three years. It is generally crowded all the time. However, this year it was exceptionally slow on the date of play. The greens were in good condition the Tee blocks were poor as were many of the surrounding area is unkept and in bad need of landscaping or water. Worst of all however was the Pace of play. Despite our requests of the Marshall as well as several other golfers behind us, no adjustments were made and we painfully waited to tee off despite several requests to see if any remedial actions could be taken. The so-called Marshall was content to drive around in his cart and make feeble excuses for the unacceptable pace of play and did nothing to make corrections. If you want to go for a six hour round , by all means this course is for you. I will not be back there anytime soon and I wish them luck. One suggestion I may have however, is that the marshals start marshalling and make the course move like it was designed to do. That is, it is not a difficult course and the flow should move brusquely

Very nice course, much better than expected

We weren't going to book this course because of the recent review but am glad we decided to after all. Course was in good condition, rough was somewhat thick but not too long or unplayable in any way. Good layout and we got paired up with a good couple of guys so it was an enjoyable round. Would definitely recommend this course.

Cow Pasture

I believe it looks like they’re ready to close the course for good. No maintenance whatsoever. Fairways weren’t cut. The rough was ridiculous.

Never again.

Rough Shape!

Wow I've played here a multitude of times and I've never ever seen it in this bad of shape. The rough is so high and covered with brown cut grass that you can't find your ball. We played a 5 hour round due to looking for balls all day. It soooo bad. It looks like a cow pasture with weeds everywhere.

I'd find it very difficult to pay $60 to play and ride. Sorry Golf North but you've let this one slide bad.

great experience

Played this course 2 or 3 times and have been thoroughly impressed. Recently played Nov 2017 and the course was still in great shape. Overall great course for any skill level. After the first 4 holes you can put your driver away for a few holes. Not long holes but could challenge the best of golfers with course layout making course management a huge part of making a good score. Green conditions are great but break much less than expected. Worth checking out this course ad intriguing to play again once you learn the course.

Needs maintenance

I had played this course about six years ago and was very disappointed with the condition. The fairways we hard as a rock and the rough was very long. In fact we had a hard time even finding a ball when it was three feet off the fairways.

Disappointed

SW has the potential of being a very good course but in its present condition I found it to be very poor.

Although the course was very crowded there was no marshal in sight. After playing as a single and waiting on every shot for a twosome ahead of me, I invited myself to play through on# 11. I then played the last six holes with a threesome and had to wait on most shots especially on two par threes where the group in front of us frequently took mulligans. Consequently, it was over a 5 hour round, the longest round for me this season.

Most of the tees were very chewed up which made it difficult to find a suitable spot to tee up. Besides, the tees were rock hard. The greens were very inconsistent and many had bald spots. I can' t comment on the condition of the few bunkers since I was never in one.

The carts were very dusty and I had to use the choke for most of the round. The yardage markers beside the tees had no map of the hole and on many holes there was a creek in the tee shot landing area but there was no indication of the distance from the tee to the creek.

Despite the above, SW is truly a scenic layout with a good mix of challenging and gettable holes. Alas, the course conditions and the pace of play left me wondering if I would ever return. What a pity.
