good tract needs work

First time to play. The course was probably very good at one time, but looked "tired" to me. The layout is interesting - plenty of change in terrain. Greens undulating - could be very tricky when fast. It looks as though there just isn't the money for top notch care of the course, but its a good layout, and I would play it again....Excellent value on Golf Now.

Great experience!

Have played here before but had forgotten how good the place is - and it is only getting better. The course was in wonderful shape - fairways like carpet and the greens were fast enough for most players.
Pace of play was on the slow side but it was a holiday, AND if you don't keep your ball under control, you WILL spend some time looking for it.
I look forward to playing it again.

Excellent find

Sometimes you stumble across a real gem, and this is one! My brother & I (he's in NC, I'm in FL) met for a day of golf in Savannah and chose Southbridge on Golf Now. What a great find! The course was in great shape, the community is beautiful and we got around in just over 3 1/2 hours. It couldn't have been a better day. If I have opportunity to golf again in Savannah, this will be my first choice. Great experience - highly recommend it!

Too bad

I hate to say it but the course (primarily the greens) was in deplorable shape. Not one green had even a decent amount of grass. I enjoy the layout, it is tight and challenging, but the greens were sad, sad, sad. It certainly does not measure up to ANY of the courses in and around the Ponte Vedra area. The expectation of good golf is high here, and this is not!
I don't like to give negative reviews, especially of a hometown course, but I felt embarrassed.

Good layout

Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were avg speed. Played it on a busy Sat. afternoon so play was slower than I like, but I like playing quickly.
Sure can't complain for a good Golfnow price. I'll probably play there again.

Extraordinary

In a word: Extraordinary! Drove almost 3 hrs to get there...would do it again in a minute! Greens were not quite tops due to recovering from aeration, but that was just timing on my part. You would not know you're in Florida. Hardly saw a palm tree, but rolling terrain, oaks & pines in abundance.
Great layout, and I intend to go back there - several times. Definitely in the top 5 I've played in Florida.

great layout

Played Rolling Oaks & Pine Barrens about 6 yrs ago and had forgotten just how good these layouts are. I gave Rolling Oaks only a 4 star because some of the tee boxes were sparse of grass...other than that - fantastic golf course!
It will NOT be another 6 yrs before I get back there! May not even be 6 weeks.
If I have a "gripe" its that the play was very slow. The first time I played there the rangers were very forthright about the time and keeping up the pace of play. This time, although I saw Rangers several times, the group ahead of me fell behind by 2 holes or more and never considered allowing a play through.
Overall, this has to be one of the best GolfNow values in America, though.
Played Pine Barrens too, and it is absolutely top tier! Course condition was good, and the layout is second to none. Very unique for Florida, and very challenging. You can't do any better by scheduling these 2 courses....And not a house in sight - beautiful! Pine Barrens is every bit of 5 star rating!

very challenging golf course

I play N. Hampton semi regularly and this time it was in the best shape I've ever seen it. They have "softened" up the layout somewhat, but it is still a top notch challenge. My favorite course in the Jacksonville area, and that includes TPC!
