Chastain Park Golf Course

Saturday round and they didn’t mow the greens. It could be a quality course if they showed some love.

First 2 holes will beat up a beginner causing major backup from the start. The reroute of the course made the pace of play really really slow.. Note there is no driving range and the practice green was slower than greens on course. Overall a good course for location and value.

Would recommend this course to anyone. It's a muni course, so don't come expecting country club amenities, but the golf course is great for the value. No cart person, so bring plenty of water/ Gatorade/ whatever. Already booked my next tee time.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They made my first experience great! Great course, fast pace on the weekend. I recommend that you go on a week day if you are a newbie like me.

Really enjoyed our round. Biggest disappointment was the pro shop. Completely empty, no food or drinks being sold and no merch. Basically an empty room with old carpet and a check in desk. Staff was friendly and helpful, but they do have an issue with teenagers from the surrounding neighborhoods harassing players and jumping onto the back of carts, swimming in water hazards. Not sure what the fix is considering there was an employee chasing them off already, but it’s a safety hazard.

It would be nice if they had rangers to keep the slow golfers moving. You should not have to play a 3 hour front 9 and other hour and 10 mins to play holes 10 - 13 then I quit, could not take anymore of the slow play.
It’s a simple fix just keep the pace of play moving, so all golfers can enjoy their round of golf.

Carts are pitiful. Torn seats and dirty. Fairways need resisting. Greens were cut too high and run slow and bumpy. New cart paths and bunkers were a nice surprise!

New cart paths, fantastic!

Carts are beat up, not a single cart without torn up seats

Great sand bunkers with new sand, excellent!

Greens very playable, somewhat bumpy but consistent, good grass coverage on smaller sized greens.

Fairways good grass coverage but play preferred lies and you're good.

Excellent layout, very challenging holes. Some very tight fairways for driving.

Pace of play for a Thursday 1230 pm tee time was 3.5 hours, excellent!

Very happy with this experience compared to my last time playing here about a year ago. Give it a shot for $30

No cart girls on the weekend, remedial course care, no snacks/food in the clubhouse, slow pace of play, shortage of golf carts, and abhorrent tee box conditions. City courses have a mediocre reputation, this course keeps that reputation alive. I paid $45~ through GolfNow, this course… At its best, is not worth more than $35/OTD for 18 holes.
