Played Southgate with a noon tee time. Temp was 94 ended the round at 99, not bad but had to hydrate. Staff were excellent and friendly teed off a few minutes early. Cost was great, 56 with a cart, bottles of water a gaterade and a sleeve of Pro V1s.

Starter was friendly and helpful. The one issue was the tee boxes, looked like they were placing temporary grass over badly damaged areas, but heat was hindering. Most boxes were level but at least six I had to stand outside the box due to the in-levelness.

The fairways and rough were lush with a few thin areas. The sand traps were in good condition, ended in two. The greens were fast to medium fast, I repaired at least two up to four divots most greens. But previous divot damage was repaired from the day before. The front nine had tree lined fairways and many had water that came into play, the layout was fun but offered challenges and forced proper club selection from the tees. The back nine was laid out in the surrounding foothills offering a complete different layout. Both were very enjoyable and challenging. Hoping they improve the tee boxes, at least the white boxes where we played from.

Would recommend playing Southgate, had a very fun round. Playing Wolf Creek in Mesquite Nevada tomorrow!
