Fall Updates

Cranberry Harvest

It feels like Fall in the air and that means that cranberry harvest will be here soon!  We expect to start harvest the last week of September.  The golf course will remain open and worst case scenario is that a tee might be closed for the safety of our bog workers.  It’s a great time to play golf at Southers Marsh!

No Greens Aeration in September or October

The fall is a great time to play golf and we prefer not to screw it up by aerating our greens until we absolutely have to.

Golf Leagues are Continuing

The last day for golf leagues
Monday League – October 7
Tuesday League – October 8
Women’s League – September 25 (League Banquet – October 2 at 6 PM)
Thursday League – October 10

If you want to continue playing after these dates, please make a tee time each week.  You may continue to play at the same league rate, but we will be running the birdie pools only, no net or quota.  

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

Update to Super Twilight Rules

In the original writing of our Super Twilight Rules, we included “The rules are subject to change based on someone finding a loophole. ”  Well, that time has finally come.

With the inflation since our Super Twilight program was instituted, apparently $1 per minute per golfer past 8:00 is no longer a deterrent.  Golfers have been repeatedly offering to just pay the penalty to stay out with their carts and continue to golf past 8:00.  This is not the point of the system at all – the point is we close the golf course at 8:00 and need the carts back at that time so we can lock up and go home.

Effective immediately –
– The price for staying out past 8:00 is now $2 per minute per player.  We don’t intend on charging anyone, we just want the carts back on time.   You are more than welcome to return your cart at 8:00 and return to the course on foot to continue playing in the semi-darkness at your own risk.
– If you do not come in at 8:00, you will also be put on the “No Cart List” and you will not be able to rent carts within 4 hours of our closing time in the future.

I know people don’t like our strict cart return policy, but please understand that I will sell this golf course and turn it into a landfill before I get rid of this policy.  Before the current rules were in place, I (or mostly my father) would be in nightly arguments at 8:45-9:00 PM with someone refusing to return their cart.  It was absolute torture and we will not be returning to those days.  We want everyone to come to Southers Marsh and have a wonderful time, but our hours are 6 AM-8 PM, seven days/week, and that is plenty of time for people to play golf.  Our super twilight pricing is deeply discounted to reflect the fact that you will not be able to finish all 18 holes.  Full policy

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and thank you for your continued support of Southers Marsh Golf Club.

Sincerely,
Will Stearns
Owner

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.)
