Southwood Golf Course
Played On 08/19/2017Mustn't let this course close
The council want to close this course to build houses and it mustn't happen. Please complete the online survey via their website.
It's a cracking course with the best greens in the area and also a good value for money round. My mates and I play this regularly early weekend mornings for a snip at £24. We also play a lot of other local courses which we pay a lot more for but Southwood is great and a challenge. It may have it's faults, as do many courses but it's a challenge and always a good test for all handicaps. If you haven't played it yet then give it a go and make sure you sign the petition so you can play it again. It's a little gem both on and off course
Southwood Golf Course
Played On 05/29/2017Short but not short changed
Course was in great condition. Always a pleasure to play at Southwood and for the money you can't go wrong. Bar the par 3 holes I enjoy the fact you don't just go to every tee with the big stick but need to think about which club is the best option. Very friendly and what a club should be
Downshire Golf Complex - Championship Course
Played On 11/20/2016Excellent condition
Played after big storm the night before. Thought it was going to be horrendous but was amazed how good the condition the course was. There were a couple of holes with standing water on the fairways but only in small patches. The greens were brilliant and the fairways generally firm and not soggy at all. Very impressed as a lot of courses would have been waterlogged or at best very wet. Overall this course is a good layout and makes you think about which club to play from your tee shot and to the green. I didn't take a wood out all round and played to handicap. It's about getting the right position on each hole rather than smash and bash albeit using a driver and woods can definitely get you the rewards if the big dog is behaving, mine isn't. That's what is great about this course as hit it straight and you are in the game, smash it off piste and you risk not scoring. Play it and enjoy an interesting course with good off course facilities. Will be back for sure
