Southland Golf & Country Club

Good: The course is expansive after the 5th hole; other players were friendly and didn’t take it out on each other because of the wait; and the staff at cart return were super friendly and helpful.

Bad: They overbooked players; bunkers were ridiculously pathetic, driving through neighborhoods while dodging kids playing; poor cart management; only 1 bathroom, and the cart paths were like driving after an earthquake.

Ugly: A staff member said we have “two choices”. Either start early or give up our cart…even though our tee time was 20mins away and we were stacked behind 4 golf carts waiting at hole 1.

I've played this course back in my beginner days (2011), i've withnessed the transition from below average to a great choice to play weekday or weekends. I appreciate the steps of progression, by having a marshalls present.
On a saturday morning 4 average players (88-97 score) 37 degrees, started @ 9:20, was on the 12th hole @ 11:50........why is the marshall asking us to pick it up? -I get skill levels/pace
, but that experience was unwarranted. If this is a direction of ensuring a flow, I highly recommend utilizing a cart sheet to determine when carts are launch for a round, so unwanted conversations don't occur.
Overall Southland has evolved as 1 of Atlanta's best places to play, so let's not spoil that growth with bad regulation of the course,

Tee boxes are 1/10, Fairways are 2/10, Greens are 5/10, layout is 8/10, golf carts are 1/10. The only reason this isn’t being rated a 1 star is because of the layout. If it was taken care of, this could be an awesome course. Really cool layout and holes. Staff is fairly nice. The other golfers (the members) were rude. Took 5.5 hours for 18 holes. Would NOT recommend and will not be going back.

This course has some challenging holes. Could use some sand in the traps, most were unplayable. No amenities to speak of, but that’s ok.

The Asian player pace of play is slow. They need to learn to drop players of at their ball. And then go to their ball. And keep it moving. And they look for balls to long

Waited for cart, then waited on every t box for 17 holes then run off of 18 because they decide. Forget you guys. Go play Heritage or Smoke Rise or any other course that cares about your patronage.

Decent course. Pace of play was average. No range balls were available only putting green was open.

Nice course wide. Fairways. Great for a beginners.

9:40 tee time. Showed up at 9:10. No carts available. $12 for cracked never cleaned range balls. 6 carts on 1st tee. Place looks awful. Do not recommend.

Best I’ve seen the course condition in years! Very reasonable in price ( I got a hot deal from GN).
Course playing very challenging but superb for average golfers like myself. Definitely will play here again.

Let's start with the only good, which was the Hot Deal Price ($38) and the greens (very nice). And that's about it.

The tee boxes are in shambles the fairways and all bunkers need work, and the layout is average at best.

Now for the ridiculousness... 88 degrees, and there is no water on the course. Apparently they got "sued" after someone spiked their water jugs with "something." So no water on a links style course when #9 is extremely far from the clubhouse.

Now that I can forgive, since most courses have a cart person riding around with beverages. And they did! Only problem was is all he had was food and beer..... ZERO water. Like, none. Not even soda or Powerade or Gatorade, JUST beer. I love beer as much as the next guy, but why aren't you selling water? This course couldn't give any more craps about it's patrons they just want $$$. I almost passed out to dehydration and had to beg the cart guy for water when he came back around. Absolutely laughable. I'm never coming back.

The course is nice and challenging, just need to touch up some maintenance.
