Southampton City - 18-hole Course

I've played the good old Muni many years on and off and have to say that it's in the worst condition I've ever seen.
Fairways look like farmers fields, greens are bare and patchy and the tees are lumpy and overgrown. It's quite obvious that the council aren't putting any money into the course and it's overall condition is worse than when they PlayGolf owners had it. The council need to hold their heads in shame because at this rate nobody is going to play there and at £27.50 for 18 holes better value for money can easily be found elsewhere.

Over the years I have played many municipal courses, this one is exceptional. Well done everyone

Greens had been treated so putting through bunkers was the reality with amount of sand on 2/3 of greens. Those not treated needed cutting. Mats were poor condition most not takings tee easily. Play slow. Generally fairways were not great with masses of worm casts. Roll on summer and hopefully it will improve.

I am sure this is potentially a reasonable course in the summer months but currently it is a bog and unplayable in many parts. This includes no distinction between fairways and light rough and, on several holes, temporary greens created almost randomly on areas of trodded, two inch grass turf with putting a lottery and no fun. I would be interested to see if fairways exist in the summer as the grass in those potential areas is simply not golf course grass and certainly not even. Very cheap at £17 but you still want to enjoy your round.

I love the municipal,,,, it’s a testing course,,,,, very “ park life”,,,
Everyone is playing from chavs to millionaires,,
Course was great,, tees,, fairways etc,,, greens were shocking,,,
Just about playable,,,, but still great value imo,
Play was slow as to expected ,,, lots of beginners but good fun,,

Southampton golf course was great. They lent my 15 year old son some clubs and we played 18 great holes of beautiful golf . The fairways were generous and the greens were immaculate.
It was a great day out.

Course not holding up well to the wetter conditions. Very muddy and greens getting long . This is reflected in the price but probably won’t play here again until summer next year.

The conditions were so unbelievably poor. The amount of putts and chips i had ruined by animal poo and mud clumps. The grass on the greens were the length that a fairway SHOULD be. And the “fairways” were the length and thickness of what rough should be. Really poor conditions and created a struggle on our play.

Enjoyed the course. Not over crowded, and pace of play was fine. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Will definately be back

A great course layout and set up. Excellent value, so very busy on a Friday afternoon with good weather. Yes the course could benefit from a little more investment but then you would pay more too. Right now you just cannot get a better value for money on a golf course

Everything you need in a course

Great value for a really decent quality course with lots of variety.

A cracking challenge here, lots of different holes, through some stunning woodlands, handy bar and more on site, small pro shop, with the essentials....
Lovely to see the greenkeepers out raking the bunkers before the weekend, just a real shame that no sooner had they made it perfect, that the next person in there didn't have the decency to continue it on and rake their footprints and hacks! So frustrating! Likewise with divots and pitch marks, have the decency to repair them, wether they're yours or not! We did masses, it's not a race out there, so do the things that make a difference.
Unfortunately a fair bit of litter out there, along with a fair few beginner golfers who haven't yet learnt to shout Fore or let you through...or even acknowledge your existence!
Love the variety of holes, some very blind ones from the bothe the back tees, so please check ahead before teeing it off....
Good practice area, green and more, beginners 9 holes course inside the main 18 too, a real bargain for both courses.... Just expect a slow round at times....
Always enjoy playing here, as it tests your accuracy and skill set on most holes, due to drains, ditches and trees!
If you get around with the same ball, you've done well....enjoy....
