Ugh

Chester is always a toss up. 20 minutes behind on tee times and hitters wait for the groups to clear the greens as if they can drive the greens. Pace of play could’ve been better. Not enough staff as shared by the starter which caused groups to wait and create their own tee times since nobody was holding them accountable to their booking time.

Fun course but late sunday pace was slow

Restaurant was closed when we got to the turn. Course itself was fun - decently maintained for a public course. Pace was slow - 5 and 1/2 hour round. (Sunday early afternoon)

First time

Good course. Marshall rode us through the first 5 or 6 pretty hard. We’re not great, but my group knows that and we keep the game moving. Think he didn’t like us for some reason but not sure. Maybe he’s had problems with groups our age range

5 groups backed up on one tee

Terrible pace of play. At its worst, we had 5 groups backed up on the same tee box waiting to tee off. Not an exaggeration. I ended up leaving after 12 holes because It wasn't worth waiting. Greens were also overly watered and aerated so no point practicing putting at this course.

First Time Playing

Solid value for a full 18

First time playing this course and I was pleased with the value for 2 with cart included. I didn’t give it a full 5 stars just because of 2 knocks: 1. The pace of play was super slow; our foursome was playing ready golf and it still took 5 HOURS to finish. I can forgive this occasion because there was a tournament ahead of us but it was still surprising nonetheless. 2. The condition was mostly in good shape but the greens were definitely due for a punching when I played. There were also random muddy holes filled with water that clearly need to be fixed in some way. Other than those two marks though, I was very happy with the driving range (mats only but that’s to be expected), the staff both at the shop and in the restaurant, and the convenient location just south of the westside! Will definitely come back more regularly
