Was back out at Southern Highlands after the recent overseeding. Course is fully open (non CPO) and in excellent condition. Fairways and tee boxes were flawless. In fact you won't find any broken tees on the ground, as caddies are required to pick them up. The course is THAT level of perfection! Greens had just a light dusting of sand on the top that was more aesthetics than performance enhancing. As an elite private country club you expect top service and conditions and you won’t be disappointed here. From the valet parking to the full amenities in the locker room all the way to the caddies who are all scratch or better players themselves yet maintain a great customer service attitude. The layout as mentioned before, is just phenomenal. Plenty of elevation changes to go along with the numerous water hazards. See the photos for the gorgeous course. The pine trees which line the fairly generous fairways make you forget your in Vegas, until you get some views of the strip from the elevated tees on the back nine. Front nine plays a bit easier so score while you can, or better yet just enjoy the day and the great course. Greens have modest slope but aren’t too bad. They held well struck shots and rolled at a medium-fast pace. I avoided the greenside bunkers but my buddy was in a few and they looked fine. A few of the fairway bunkers have small pebbles in them. That is the only weak spot in the entire place. Rough was thick but not overly penal. Pace of Play was on the slow side as it was super busy (for a private CC) and I can’t even blame it on Jon Gruden as he was two groups behind us. We did manage to go around a group on hole 11 and that sped things up the rest of the way. Southern Highlands is a treat to play so don’t pass up the opportunity to experience it. It’s an all time top 5 course for me. Our Caddie, Aaron was one of the best I’ve ever had anywhere.
