Nice but could be better

We have played this course more than any in our golfing time. Most of the greens are in good condition, just a few not. Fairways are good. Golf carts are an issue. Very old and just need retired. No windshields. Some very slow. Straps for golf bags can’t hold them. And then there is the food and beverage court or the lack of. A reach-in fridge has your cold package sandwiches and microwave ones. Chips and soda. That’s your food for 9 hole break. Yummy. Not.

Friendly local course

Good course to relax, hone your game.
Holes are easy to navigate and no extreme challenges exist. Rough more brown leaves, mulch type, but can find ball as compared to courses with thick rough.

Tee boxes ok, not perfect, greens were true and in good shape.

Pace was fair best to pick your tee times around tournaments.

Staff extremely friendly and along with friendly golfers course is an easy choice for any.

Just OKAY!

I have been playing golf for years, since I was 10 years old. I have an 8-10 handicap, so not great but I'm OK. We just moved to the area and this was the first time out to this course. It is really the only course in the area that is close to where I live. You could tell the course was in rough shape. The person I played with said that it use to be in much better shape before changing ownership. But, It's the only thing we have close were his exact words. But, it is what it is I guess. I will drive a little ways... maybe to Ocala to play a nicer course next time. I wish they, or someone, would put a little money into the place. I hope this helps.
Some of the greens were horrible.... patches of the green were almost gone. The fairways had a little bit of grass here and there... but A LOT of sand. The cart paths were not paved or anything and just plucked in the grass or sand.

I played here in January and commented back then. I did later play in February and want to echo what this poster said, as the greens were noticeably worse in one month's time. The condition of the fairways is also very concerning. Note to Chiefland ownership and management: I hope you are sincere you are committed to getting this course back in the shape it once was. You have a true hidden gem and it would be a shame to let the current situation continue. I urge whoever is in charge to put the necessary money, time and effort back into this place. If you don't have the money - FIND IT. Otherwise you will have to close, and if that happens, everyone loses. Skimping on maintenance is the surest way to drive people away and hasten your demise.

Course Better Than Other Reviews Suggest

I play here 1-2 times a year when I pass through the area. Other reviews have made mention that the course is not in good condition and that the greens were poor. Here is an accurate description of the way the course is as of January 13, 2021. GREENS - Most are actually in good shape; a few have some blotches on them that I believe are algae. But even then, the rye overseed is growing in them and they're smooth. When the overseed dies out in the spring, though, all bets are off. FAIRWAYS - In okay, playable shape. ROUGH - mix of grass, weeds and dirt. TEE BOXES - Same as rough except cut down. Playable. So the course is not perfect. A member told me maybe 18 months ago when I played there that the maintenance budget had been cut $40,000. If that was true, I understand from a financial point of view but that always starts the vicious circle. Need to keep the course in good shape at all costs. In any event, if you're okay with decent greens (as of now), fair fairways and rough rough, you'll like the course. I've always enjoyed the layout personally.

Great cheap golf

I'm traveling and have played this course 5 or 6 times now. It is flat but there are enough variations in the lengths of the fairways as well as challenging bunkers around the greens.

Sure the greens aren't in the best shape but even if you play for $, you all have the same disadvantage with a few bare spots. I'm not a great golfer but just had my best round of 95 here as a rookie from the white tees.
