Southern Oaks
Played it twice in the last week.
Tee boxes need some TLC. Fairways are thin like other Championship Courses. Remember the deep roughs everyone was whining about?????.......they are gone. Greens are still very good. Hated to see the roughs disappear and the fairways so thin.

Rain, if we ever get some will help tremendously. Irrigation just can’t replace rain. |

I had high hopes and expectations for this course. I think (& will probably lose my Morse Thanksgiving Invitation)......it's time to find a new designer for TV golf courses. The current guy has been around TOO LONG and we need fresh, current, designs for new courses.

I do like starting with a par 5............... more time to fix my warm-up shots.
Pensacola ........... starting with two par 4's over 400 yards is always exciting.

All of our courses are some variety of Bermuda, As are most courses in the south. (Some have zoysia fairways).
Bermuda remains dormant until soil temperatures exceed 65 degrees at 4” deep. |

If only the developers would divert all the water being used to water the medians and the sides of the roads to the golf courses everything would be fine.

Unfortunately, the courses get deprived of water when they need it most and then get dumped with excess water and become flood plains during heavy rain periods. It’s no wonder it’s difficult for the maintenance staff to keep the conditions consistent and good.

When are the courses deprived of water?
