Golf Club At South Hampton

Good course, friendly staff

South Hampton is always in good shape with excellent greens. It provides a very interesting and diverse tract. The staff are helpful and friendly. The only downside was the slow play in front of us. Bad golfers should not be giving a lesson to a beginner while playing the course - poor golf etiquette and makes for a SLOW round. Otherwise, the day was very nice.

Interesting layout and that's all.

Friendliest people on staff were the bag boys. Overcharged in the Pro shop after having the price quoted on Golf Now. Slow pace of play, waited on almost every shot while the 3 some ahead had open holes in front of them. Many weeds growing in the fairways. Course needs some TLC. Too bad because it is located in a nice neighborhood. However, the design was interesting with a variety of holes. Good par threes and the closing holes were picturesque.

Disappointing conditions!

Have played here recently and brought friends to enjoy the course. I was disappointed in the condition of the course, especially the greens. Slow, damp and mixed grasses. The pace of play was especially slow even though we were two couples playing behind threesomes. Needed a ranger badly that day. Will not go back to play this course - it needs A LOT of work.

Good course, friendly staff

River Bend has been in good shape with smooth, good rolling greens. It provides a variety of holes and is a challenging yet fair test of golf. The pace of play recently has been SLOW which detracts from the enjoyment of the round. Staff is very nice.

River Bend is a good layout with a variety of holes that make the course very interesting. The greens were in especially good condition with consistent roll and good pace. The fairways were in good shape also. Hit em straight and you'll have fun.

Beautiful day of golf!

Victoria Hills is in excellent condition. Fast, firm fairways, and receptive smooth rolling greens made for a truly enjoyable experience. The pace of play was very good and the staff very cordial. The only negative was the new placement of the pro shop at the end of the bar. I Don't know if this is temporary but a course of this calibre deserves a quality pro shop.
Definitely looking forward to playing here again.

Disappointing conditions!

I've played this course many times because it usually is in good shape and it is an interesting layout. However, sorry to say, the course was in rough shape and the greens were far from what I expected. It is too bad that this course appeared as it did because of its good design. I probably won't play there again until I hear differently about the condition.

Most enjoyable day

LPGA provides an excellent golfing experience. From the practice area to the course it is pleasure to be there. Conditions of fairways, greens, bunkers are always exceptional. Friendly and courteous staff add to the quality of the experience. Looking forward to playing there again. Steve, in the pro shop, was very friendly, welcoming, and set the tone for the day.

Enjoyable

The fairways, tee, and bunkers were in good shape. The owners are working to make this course better each year. The greens need work but the ball rolled well with good pace. A real good variety of holes make this an interesting course to play. On a windy day, this links style layout can be especially challenging. I look forward to playing there again.

Good course, friendly staff

This is a very enjoyable course to play. A good variety of hole designs and excellent greens-fast. The only downside was the pace of play. The four men in front of us were SLOW and played from tees beyond their ability level. There was no one in front of them and we waited from the first hole on. However, I would recommend this course for any level of golfer.

Good, challenging course in fiarly good condition.

Pace of play was excellent and the golf course was in good condition. The greens weren't as fast as they usually are and there appears to be ball marks that haven't been repaired or not repaired properly. An enjoyable experience however.

Scenic Red Tail

The facility and the design of Red Tail is excellent. However it was rather dry and the greens were firm and crusty with recent sanding. The pace was slow because of three players ahead of us who did not use any good golf etiquette. They had a couple of holes open ahead of them and never made an attempt to speed up or let our foursome play through. This facility, like most Florida courses, could benefit by a ranger. Too many "north of the border" golfers think 5 hrs. is normal for a round of golf.

Bad golfers playing from back tees and no ranger to move play along . This is typical of Victoria Hills. Will not play here again. They take your money and don't care what happens when you are on the course.

Beautiful day, beautiful course!

River Bend is a very interesting course with a variety of golf holes. The greens are in excellent shape with good fairways and bunkers. Staff is always friendly and the golfing experience is very good. Brought friends to play this course for the first time and they want to come back again. One of the better courses in the Daytona/Ormond area.
