New for 2024 – Join our Tee Time Waitlist

Unfortunately, right now we don’t have any tee times available because the course is still closed for the winter, but you can be the first to know when we have some! 

Get a text and email when your desired tee time becomes available.

We know that looking for cancelations or calling and refreshing over and over to find your desired times isn’t fun, so with our new virtual tee time assistant you will know right away when the time you want is available without needing to do anything. You can add desired playing preferences (time, dates, number of players) as far in advance as you would like – even all of 2024 in one go!

Here are some examples on how this works!

  • Sign up now and when we decide to open this Spring you will immediately get a notification when we open up tee times!  (The earliest day we might be open is Saturday, March 16.  We recommend searching for that date, and when those tee times become available, you will be the first to know.)
  • You want to play on Thursday afternoon, but we’re booked.  Luckily someone calls and cancels their tee time just 2 hours before they were scheduled to play.  You will get a notification that a time became available without having to keep checking back.
  • Playing Saturday mornings fits your schedule, but sometimes we have tournaments.  Instead of calling us or checking the website every week, put in every Saturday in May and as soon as there are tee times available you will be the first to know.

Choose whatever window works for you!  Try it now!

The Fine Print
This system is a tee time notification system only – you will still need to click the link and make your own tee time like you would normally.  All of our normal rules about how far out you can book tee times, etc. still apply.

Tee Times are first come first served so it is not guaranteed that the time will be available when you check. If you get a tee time for that day, you can easily pause your search by clicking the link the notification you receive. Have any questions? Email us or our partner contacts at Noteefy (Natalie@noteefy.app)

(Currently this is for the outdoor course only and not for The Barn.)

Fall Updates

Fall Greens Fees are in effect!

The Barn is Closed on Mondays

Greens are not aerated and won’t be in the month of October.  It’s still a great time to play golf, why screw it up?

Our leagues are over, but we are still running the birdie pools for all of them and you can still take advantage of the league rates.  (Actually $5 cheaper, but they no longer include a $5 lunch credit or an evening meal.)

Cranberry harvest will continue for the next 3 weeks or so at the golf course.  There are a lot of moving parts so I can’t say what we’ll be doing on any given day, but if you come out you may be lucky enough to see us in action.   The golf course will always remain open during harvest, but there may be a tee closed so we don’t put our workers in danger from errant golf balls.

No Greens Aeration this Spring

We deep tined our greens in December soon after we closed for the season, so we have no reason to aerate again until next fall.

Spring Rates Until May 13

Still plenty of time to take advantage of our discounted rates!

We Are Not Currently Hiring

We appreciate all the interest in working at Southers Marsh, but we do not currently have any openings.  We hired a lot of people in the fall when all the college students went back to school.  Those people have returned for the spring, and all our college students want to come back when school is over, so if anything we are over full.  If you are still interested in working at Southers Marsh, please circle back around in early or mid August when we will once again be hiring for the fall.

 

Thank you for your continued support,
Willie, JD, Tanya, Scotty, Mike, and the rest of the Southers Marsh Team

When is Opening Day?

Course conditions on March 1

Update March 8 – Expected Opening Day is March 25.

The question on everyone’s mind is “when do you think you’ll open the golf course?”

We can’t say for sure obviously because the weather will be unpredictable, but at this point we need melting, thawing, and drying.  Then it takes a some time for us to get everything lined up so the course is cleaned up and playable.

After 20 years, there have been some early March openings, a few more mid-March, and the last weekend of March is the most likely.  Since 2014, there have been 4 times we weren’t able to open until April, including 2015 when April 11 was opening day.  (We had to shovel the snow off the 9th and 13th green, which was pretty aggressive.)

If I had to guess, I’d say last weekend of March this year.  As always please check our Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook for the most up to the minute information, or this website of course.

Thank you everyone!  We hope to see you at the course sooner rather than later!

New Southers Marsh Ad

It’s that time of year again sports fans!  Feeling down that your team isn’t playing in the Super Bowl this year?  Let us give you something to look forward to – the annual unveiling of the Southers Marsh Super Bowl Ad!

Conveniently we won an award from Toptracer last week for Best Picture – the best original video highlighting Toptracer Range.   Last year’s ad, Save Our Berries, allows us to say (honestly) that we have “Award Winning Ads.”

It is with full confidence that I can say that the ad coming out on Sunday is definitely one of the 10 best we’ve ever produced.  If you can’t wait until Sunday to check out our new ad, take a walk down memory lane and see all our past glory.  I don’t know if these ad campaigns help our business, but they are a lot of fun to make.

As always, a huge thank you to our producers Glenn and Jenn Anderson of Viamark Video and Lou Leta of Digital Video and Consulting.  It’s like Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese – you know there’s going to be magic.

December Update

Golf Course Closing Date

The golf course will be closed for the season on Monday, December 6 based on the limited play this week and the forecast for next week.

We are usually able to reopen the course in mid-March when things dry out.

Thank you to everyone for another great season!

Pro Shop Hours

If you are looking to purchase gift cards or 10 round passes, the pro shop will be open Monday-Friday from 10 AM-3 PM or you can make purchases online or swing by the Barn when it is open.  Please allow 48 for us to process your online orders.  Dollar value gift cards can be emailed, but 10 round passes must be sent by mail.  We have very limited stock of golf balls and apparel but we are still well stocked on hats.

December 23 is the last day the pro shop will be open, we will be closed completely from December 24-26.

Barn Hours

Monday-Thursday – 3 PM-8 PM
Friday/Saturday – Noon-8 PM
Sunday – Noon-7 PM

The Barn will be closed December 13-17 and December 20-26

December 13-17 – Closed
December 18-19 – Saturday-Sunday – Noon-6 PM
December 20-26 – Closed
December 27-30 – Noon-8 PM
December 31 – New Year’s Eve – Noon-5 PM
January 1 – Noon-8 PM
January 2 – Noon-7 PM

The Barn Winter League will start on Tuesday, January 4

Outdoor Range

The outdoor range will be open as usual until Sunday, December 5.  It will then be open 10 AM-dark until Friday, December 17 and open Noon-dark December 18-19.  On December 20 it will close until the golf course reopens in the Spring.

Memberships

Rates are increasing for the 2022 season, and new memberships are not currently available.  We sold too many memberships in 2021, and we have a waiting list.  Since our last membership price increase, our weekend greens fees with cart have increased from $47 to $57.  With the price of labor and other inputs on a steep rise, the price will be $995 for a weekday pass or $1,295 for a seven day pass if you pay by January 7, 2022.  (These prices are $55 less than originally advertised.  The Mass Golf Association recently changed their handicap management system and SMGC memberships no longer include a handicap.   You will need to purchase a separate handicap card through the MGA for $55.  We will provide the link starting January 4 when they become available.)

If existing members don’t pay by January 7, you will risk losing your membership to someone on the waiting list.  Outside range balls will be an additional charge.  We will not be offering memberships in the Barn.  Our season passes are not priced to be a private or semi-private golf course, we are a daily fee facility and our rates are reflective of that.  We appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to give enough notice in case you want to explore membership options elsewhere.

Everyone please have a safe and fun holiday season!  We really appreciate your continued support!

Sincerely,
Willie, JD, Tanya, Scotty, Mike, and the rest of the Southers Marsh Team
