Southern Hills Golf Club
Played On 09/20/2018Still a gem
I don't get to play here as much as I'd like, but each time I have it's been great. Well maintained, challenging and fun.

Played On 07/28/2018Things are going downhill
I play here about once a month and I've noticed over the past year things have started to slip. This time last year the course was beautiful, despite having much less rain. With the water we've had this season the course should be unbelievable, but what's unbelievable is the lack of maintenance it's receiving. The bahiagrass is ridiculous and makes finding balls in the rough nearly impossible, even just a couple of feet from the fairway. Seriously, you'd think they were preparing for the U.S. Open. As for the fairways themselves, you're lucky if you don't end up in a pile of clippings when you streak one down the middle. This tells me they're either not cutting often enough, or using the wrong type of mower. Either way, they obviously don't care to reward players for good tee shots. When you do reach the green it's like putting through cement, except for the crown greens which they apparently cross bred with Teflon. The bridge leading to the 12th hole feels like it's about to collapse. I hold my breath every time I cross it, praying I'm not the one that has to sue the city/county. The only reason I keep playing here is that I can get a Hot Deal from GolfNow for around $10. Today, however, I definitely overpaid.
California Golf Course
Played On 07/04/2018This is a municipal course?!?
This is by far one of the nicest public courses I've ever played, let alone one managed by the city/county. Price was a little above average but being the 4th I wasn't surprised. Pace was slow, very slow at times, but again, for a holiday that's to be somewhat expected. The conditions and layout are superb! The front is tight and challenging, but the back opens up a bit and scoring opportunities are more available. I'm from Georgia and this course rivals many private clubs I've played in the south. The staff were all very knowledgeable and super friendly. The city should be proud.

Played On 05/11/2018Great little course
Had just a couple hours during a business trip to Atlanta so decided to try the par 3 course out. Cool little course, well maintained by friendly staff. Would definitely play again.
Forsyth Golf Club

Played On 09/09/2017Good value, needs some work.
The staff is friendly and $10 for 18 is hard to beat. It was a little crowded but pace was fine. Some of the traps are lost causes, and the cat paths are atrocious, but the overall experience was good.
This review was NOT meant for Shawnee, but for California Golf Course in Cincinnati, OH. I've never pleasured Shawnee.
