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).

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.

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

HORRIBLE TERRIBLE HORRIBLE TERRIBLE

Reserved tee time for 12:48. Started playing at 1:40pm because it was extremely delayed and there were not any carts available. Staff just indicated that there are aware of the situation but that's it. Nothing done about it. We just had to wait and wait and wait. During the play, pace was extremely slow and our cart stopped, probably because it wasn't charged fully. We ended at 6:30pm. HORRIBLE TERRIBLE just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Waiting 45 mins for a cart!!!

Had a 216p tee time and we didnt get a cart until 300p. To make matters worse the cart died in the middle of the fairway on 15 and had to push it to the side. Had to walk the remaining holes. Didn't finish the round until about 800p just as light was gone. Holes 9 and 18 had 3-4 groups backed up. Chester needs to have more carts available and better spacing because this was ridiculous. I know from now on if I play here it has to be an early morning round.
