Southern Landings Golf Club | Landings Golf Course

Southern Landings Golf Club, previously named Landings Golf Club or Stathems Landing Golf Club, is an 18 hole semi-private (open to the public) golf course, located in Warner Robins, Georgia. The course name change happened in late 2015 with the course being purchased by the owners of Southern Hills Golf Course which is a popular course, known for superior conditioning, located about 25 miles south in Hawkinsville, Georgia.

The Course opened for play in 1987. The course was designed by Ault, Clark & Associates. The course is made up of The Trestle 9, and The Bluff 9. A third 9-holes, The Creek 9 was opened in 1990. The Creek 9 was designed by Alan White and Don Cottle, Jr. The Creek 9 closed in 2009.

A round at Southern Landings begins on the Trestle Nine and finishes on the Bluff Nine.

The Trestle takes its name from the wooden bridge crossing the lake on #6. Among the popular holes on this nine is #4, a long and tight par-5 that measures a seemingly never-ending 632 yards from the back tees and 451 from the most forward. No. 4 is a true 3-shot at best to the green par-5 with a slight dogleg to the right. A slight fade off the tee will put you in a good position. Use the bank on the right to help shape your second shot. Don' ease up after this hole. #5 is a long, straight par-4 (450 yards from the back tees and 310 from the forward). Try to avoid the three fairway bunkers on the right. It is almost impossible to reach the green from them.

Hole #14 on the Bluff had been called, "the most feared hole in middle Georgia." This is also the hole that gave the Bluff nine its name. Your shot from an elevated tee drops 80 feet into a fairway with a steep, wooded embankment on the left, out-of-bounds right and a lake at the bottom of the hill that comes into play for the long hitters. Use the slope on the right to work your tee shot back into the fairway. A perfect drive will leave you a 150 to 175-yard second shot completely over water to the green. Do not miss the green left or short.  

OK, OK, stop the press. #14 has now been tamed. The hole has been shortened taking the over-water shot out of play. What once was the sloping terrain setup position for your over-water shot is now a newly created green, greatly shortening the hole and taking the hazard out of play. What had been a feared hole is now one of the easier holes on the course. This change was completed in 2016.

With five sets of tees, the course plays from 7,000 to 4,875 yards, with a comfortable 6,284 from the whites.
