Poor shape

This course was not maintained very well. The grass in the fairways was not cut. There were more weeds, then grass in the fairway. Pace of play was slow.

Nice Course, Poor Maintenance

Southwick is a fun course to play but the management does little to enforce tee times or do anything other than mow the course. The 11th hole inexplicably has a ditch running through the middle of the fairway/landing area which sucks in good tee shots. The course should spend the money to put in culverts or mark the area as a hazard (note the ditch cannot be seen from the tee box). Other tee box markers are on the ground and the traps have sand that is not raked so like playing off asphalt.

Improvements Noted

Myself and a group play Southwick approximately once every six weeks or so. Had been a while due to winter weather so we were pleasantly surprised to discover much-needed new golf carts. The clubhouse itself seemed spruced up and the course was in good condition for February except for hole #11. This hole has a drainage issue and despite attempts by the course to mitigate the soggy conditions, it is still a mess.

Always Fun

Enjoy playing Southwick periodically because of the challenging layout and reasonable price. The drainage is bad however, especially on hole #11. A perfect drive can be lost due to the inexplicable drainage ditch in the middle of the fairway.

Always Fun

Though the weather was nice (overcast, not hot), the course was soggy. Southwick is not overly concerned with driving carts over wet fairways, so that was helpful. The course is fun to play but could use some maintenance upgrades (carts filthy, debris around the course, etc.).

Great course for the price

This was the first time I have played this course. It was a bit challenging. The elevation changes add to the challenge, but if you know your distances you will be fine. The greens were receptive and even though they seemed wet from daily watering the ball still rolled quite smooth. I would definitely play again and recommend to others.

Good deal, but needs attention

Play Southwick 10-12 times per year because of the low cost and challenging holes. Played after Christmas on a cool day when the course was soggy in several places. No issue with the conditions, but the management of the course could use some effort. All the carts were dirty and not cleaned out. The 10th hole has perpetual drainage issues in the fairway that need addressed. The two tee shots in our foursome that landed in the middle of the fairway could not be found. A drainage ditch through the middle of the fairway (that is also invisible from the tee boxes) does not solve the issue and actually punishes good tee shots. A course always worth playing, but some course TLC would be helpful.

Always a Bargin

Play Southwick an average of once a month. Nothing fancy about the course, but it is inexpensive and has some challenging holes. Great golf course to go play with you buddies.
