SouthWood Golf Club

The course is not only well maintained it is in a beautiful setting and has some great views.

Greens were nice and fast, could use a lil work, but very fun course

I truly enjoyed Southwood, and would definitely return and play it again if I were in the area. The course was in excellent condition, and it was challenging. The course was wide-open, but still very fun.

I thought that the course was very fun. The conditions were excellent and it was an enjoyable place to play. I would definitely return if I were in the area.

Especially with GN.com discounts(which can be huge) the course is a great value. If your one with great length and love to hit driver off almost every tee, this course is for you. Also caters to those who like to play more of a finesse game.

Ive played it twice in the last week(Only times I have played it) first time through I played driver and aggressive, second time through I played for locations(Since I knew the course, at least minimally) and shot 81,77 respectively.

Some very tough greens IMHO

The idyllic setting in this new part of Florida is a great starting point. The gigantic ancient oak trees are amazing and add a very special touch to the surroundings. It was so peaceful I used the term Mayberry at one time.
The course has 3 men's tees to fit your skill level. I played the #4 tees at about 6650 yards and found it very playable. I was amazed they had well manicured bent grass greens. Oh, and the price was very good especially compared to the prices of the courses in Destin, FL.
The staff was more than welcoming and the clubhouse looked like a southern plantation home. I highly recommend the course and the area.

Had the greens not been in transition, I would have given it a pristine rating.

Played the course right after they had aerated the greens so I cannot comment on their normal condition. The rest of the course was in good shape though some of sand traps could use some maintenance. All of the staff were friendly and helpful.

The par 3's are challenging as are several of the par 4's. The course is a good combination of easy and difficult holes. My biggest complaint is the lack of yardage markers or mismarked yardages on some of the sprinkler heads. Previously the carts had GPS but now they don't. You definitely need a GPS or range finder since several of the greens are 4 club greens from front to back.

The course is fairly wide open. Very well maintained. Staff is very polite.

I have lived in Tallahassee for over 15 years. Since Southwood opened it has been the most consistent with their maintenance from tee to green. Always a pleasure to play the course.

If I had one recommendation since the course no longer has GPS
is to put more yardage markers on sprinkler heads. This would help with pace of play for golfers without range finders.

Excellent choice for golfers average to pro. Beautiful scenery. Unique challenges at every hole. One of the best practice facilities I've seen as well.

Very beautiful well maintained course! price is worth the round!

This course is currently in excellent shape and the pace of play was extremely quick. Highly recommend this course.

What a great golf course. I have played here 3 times now and I just love it. It is in fantastic condition and plays very fair. Course has every type of challenge. Short and tricky, Long and hilly, uphill, downhill you name it. This course gave up 2 rounds well below the guys in my 4some's handicap and 2 rounds way over. That is always fun. When a course can be scored on or it can have you stoping for balls at the turn. There were a few places that had thick brush that I would have expected to have been mown down. (Hills around the Cart paths and such) where you wouldn't expect to lose a ball and we did, but in general this place continues to be a treasure in the States Capital. If you want to play in Tallahassee Southwood will not disappoint.

It was raining most of the day and the course played very dry not always typical in FL.

The Southwood Golf Club staff was very friendly and helpful. The golf course, particularly the greens, were in excellent shape and is a great layout. Very good variety of holes and design. It is always a pleasure to play at Southwood.

Southwood is the best couse in the Tallahassee area. The course is always in pristine condition and the staff is super friendly and informative. We drive an hour to play, and it is well worth the travel.

I would have given the course higher marks for conditions if it had not been winter and they don't overseed the fairways. That being said, this course has a very good layout that is a solid test of golf, however it is quite fair. Upon arrival, i was met by a very friendly and attending staff. The practice facilities were very nice. My round was played the day after a full collegiate tournament with 10 major teams, so I saw the full on Sunday tournament pin placements. While tough to get at, they were fair in the setting. The course has a lot of great risk/ reward holes, as well as a nice smattering of holes that give you a chance to let the "Big Dog Eat". Overall, I would list this course as the "MUST PLAY" in the Tallahassee area.

Played on a Saturday morning, pace of play was good despite it being bitterly cold. Greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. Course layout is good with a mixture of challenging and easy holes. It was a fun round and a decent value. GPS units could really help on this course since yardage wasn't always easy to find.

Southwood is a challenging yet fair course. With good tee shots the holes can yield some birdies. Shoot for the middle of the greens to succeed on this Couples design. Always in very good shape.

This course is excellently maintained. The staff are very professional. A very challenging course with a lot of sand traps and a few water hazards. My favorite course so far.
