DO NOT PLAY HERE
What a bunch of rude unprofessional people run this place. The first time I played here they didn’t have enough carts so I had to walk the first 5 holes in 95° temps. No offer of a refund, nothing. I paid for the cart for only 13 holes. Today, I went with my friend for his first round ever on an 18 hole course. He’s 76 years old. On hole 9, a marshal approaches us and tells us we need to pick up the pace because the group in front of us was a hole ahead. We very nicely said “ok, no problem, we’re sorry.” The marshal then followed us along the hole watching every shot we took until he eventually told us we had to just skip to hole 11. Then he told us for the rest of the round we should only hit 3 shots and pick up the ball if we’re not on the green. What? Is that a serious comment? Once we were on this hole’s green, the group behind us wasn’t even on the tee box of the long par 4, the starter comes out ONTO the green while we’re putting to say he’s getting calls about the pace of play. There must be some entitled regulars that call the starter to complain about the pace of play at an overbooked muni. I told him to tell the group behind us and that we’re not holding it up. He then basically told us we shouldn’t keep playing and yelled at me for refusing to not play at the lighting pace we were already playing at. So so bizarre. I’ve never experienced that on a course in the short 13 years I’ve been playing golf. But it gets better! On the next tee box, hole 10, par 3, we tee off before the group behind us has even hit their approach shots onto the 9th green and ANOTHER employee comes over to us and says he just wants to figure out what’s going on. What’s going on I told him is that your marshal and starter are harassing us for no reason and telling us to skip holes or just leave. He said he remembered me from last time when I didn’t have a cart and i was super chill about it. What a weird comment. We took our tee shots and he left. That same guy and the marshal saw us on the course later waaaay ahead of the group in front of us. No apology, nothing, just driving right by us. Not once the entire day was that group waiting on a tee box for us. Not even a par 3. I have pics and video attached. The best part of all of this is that when we finished on 18, my friend shot a 95 in his first round ever on an 18 and it was a 4:15 round. That’s right, just over 4 HOURS with no one ever waiting for us to hit but we get harassed by 3 employees because they thought the twosome with the old guy was holding the entire course up. Now, I’m a white guy from Baltimore that grew up with mostly black friends so I know how this goes, not my first time dealing with being singled out at a place that’s run by and frequented by black people. My girlfriend is black and honestly that’s why I started playing here in the first place. Thought it’d be chill. Thought I’d play with some cool people and make friends. Total opposite. Rudest people I’ve ever met at a golf course. I’d recommend not spending your money or time here. I’m definitely never going back. But if you’re black, that’s your spot, you’ll get treatment like white people do at other courses. Oh, bunch of junkies hanging out by the front gate too. Not the best area. Good luck.
Good value
This is a good practice course with moderate difficulty. The greens were punched a few weeks prior. Fairways were in decent shape.
Pace of play
The pace of play is so slow, but no one managed it.
Putting greens
The greens need to be rolled. For the price you pay to play the greens should be better.
Pace of play needs to improve
Overall good experience, but there's no reason why it took over 5.5 hours to get through a course with minimal water and out of bounds. This can be easily solved by having marshals on the course to ensure groups don't fall behind.
The course also consistently has a problem with available carts to get people out on the weekends, a problem that has a pretty easy fix (get more carts).
Nice local track for the money..
Chester is our local go to course we can usually find a tee-time here. It is well laid out as in great condition. We really enjoy our time here.
5.5 Hour Round
Had a great time, but it took 5.5 hours to complete the round. Rather than spacing us out, the starter had us tee off the first as soon as the group in front cleared the fairway. We had to wait at the tee on every hole, and frequently on the fairways as well. I know it's Sunday during the summer, but spacing out the groups would improve the experience.
Great place
I’m a beginner, and the course is beautiful. Nice and green, just watch out for the coyotes.
Fun Sunday
Really love how friendly the staff is and always have a great time playing here. Good layout for high and mid handicappers and challenging enough for low handicappers
Greens are unputtable
Super bumpy and overly soft, they have big problems. Waste of money to play here!
Exception!
The course is good but the greens are very bumpy and need more attention. The course however is challenging and makes for a good round.
Slow pace/no golf cart
I didn't get to tee off for 40 minutes due to lack of golf carts. The groups in front of us also took forever and we had to wait a long time at each hole. Not sure i would come back again.
Pace of play
We arrived around 5:15 am for a 5:32 tee time for some reason there was a fivesome ahead of us who took forever to play we finally past them at the turn only to have to wait because of the slow play of the back nine players who popped up ahead of us. The round was over 5 hours long I guess this is the normal for a Sunday
