Lake Chesdin Golf Club

Great layout, great conditions, friendly staff. Best greens I have played in winter. Plenty of challenge for any golfer but playable for a high-handicapper.

Coming back to play Chesdin at the start of spring and it was a little disappointing to say the least. Range was “closed” but looked fairly dry. Not sure why they don’t implement mats as not having a warmup before a round really made things difficult for alot of folks including me.

Pace of play was a little slower than normal as the weather is starting to warm up a bit and a lot more people are starting to get back out. They did not have a Marshall out.

Also didn’t know the greens had been aerated which definitely had an effect on most putts. Not interested in coming back until the summer time when course conditions improve and the crowd dies down a bit.

Took advantage of a weekend "Hot Deal" yesterday (1/27.
First round of 2024 with 3 of my best friends. T off at 10:28 w/no frost, just typical dew conditions.
Fun day, scheduled rain never came in the afternoon.
Met Tim White, course Pro/Superintendent visiting players on arrival. Offered insight as to current course conditions and other helpful hints (cheeseburger at the turn). Lindsey, our designated ABC representative, provided "fluids" and course tips.
We'll be back in Southern Chesterfield in the Spring for another great day of fun.

Bunkers are more of a hard red sand (at least this time of year late Feb through March). Fairways aren’t bad - I’m sure in peak season they look a bit more green. Overall fun course. Staff is a mixed bag like anywhere, but pro shop staff have always been perfectly pleasant.

Been out to chesdin several time now, and my favorite part of the course is how spaced out the tee times are usually. Some courses around here over book and make pace of play a nightmare. This place we had time to not rush and enjoy our round and still finished within 4 hours. Highly recommended!

Always enjoyed this course. Expected excellent conditions, not so much. Need better clientele, so many obvious ball marks not repaired. I repaired at least 5 per green. Bunkers need lots of work. Greens were ok but only 75 % healed. Rough was a lot of dirt. Fairways were pretty good. Leaves were so rampant that finding balls were very difficult. A few times I found others but not mine. Time of year is tough for this. Couldn’t solicit bar this time, usually good. Friendly pro. I hope this is not the downhill slide of this course. It is a very nice design but has seen better days. So isolated makes it tougher play.

Got a Hot deal and used some points. Fast round because we had not one else on the course because of rain. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. Got difficult to play near the end because of soggy ground.

They had an event that morning that meant no carts were available when we arrived. Waited 20-ish minutes to get a cart. Rangle looked nice but no range balls included. Really hot that day and no bev cart at all. Stopped at the turn to find the owners of the restaurant exited the business and nobody and nothing was available. The guy at front begrudgingly gave us some ice and water for our water bottles. Seemed like a big imposition for him. I played this track a few years ago and din;t have this experience, but there is NOBODY out there so there is no service level. Won;t go back unless it;s for some type of tournament or something.
