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.

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.

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.

Best value in the area

Greens are usually pretty quick, decent fairways, and the layout is pretty enjoyable. The price is the lowest I’ve seen in the area but is typically in better shape than some of the “bigger” courses. They have a full food menu at “The View” restaurant. Don’t skip out on a hotdog at the turn. The only downside if any would be the pro shop is fairly small. So if you get mad and snap your driver, don’t expect to pick up a new Stealth at the turn. Great course and great staff and a must for anyone looking for a relaxing round of golf.

Golf stop during travel

We were traveling so I picked a course with good reviews. It was pretty inexpensive and the staff was very friendly. The course was pretty dry. It looked like they hadn’t had rain in a while. Which may be the reason the fairways were a little rough. I felt though, this was a local’s favorite. We ate at the restaurant. It was very inexpensive and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive.
