About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 69
Length 5454 yards
Slope 121
Rating 66.4

The Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club, centrally located on McMullen Booth Road a comparably short course, offering just 5,454 yards from the blue tees and a slope rating of 118. Most of the fairways are wide, making errant shots still playable. In essence, it is the ideal place to work on your golf game, to correct that nasty slice or learn to hit that oversized driver without fear of losing 100 balls. As a result, it is a favorite among novice golfers who want to be challenged but also have an enjoyable round.

Chi Chi's

Always in good shape. Don't have to hit it long, but you need to hit it straight. Greens roll well and are fairly quick. Staff are very friendly.

Slow golf ruins it for everyone

This is a fun little quirky course that is surprisingly challenging, rewards shotmaking, and has surprisingly high-quality bunkers and greens. Everything about this course should be an elevated experience - except pace of play sucks the joy out of the round. We watched a 4-some take 18 minutes to just clear the tee-shot landing area on the opening hole. I love that places like ChiChi’s exist for new golfers, and it’s a great place to learn and grow as a player, but there’s just no excuse when a course allows backups like this - and while timely rounds are the responsibility of all golfers, course management is ultimately the responsibility of the course, a marshall, and some time checks. ChiChi’s could comfortably be a 3 hour round, 3.5hr would be OK, 4hr MAX. 5.5hrs is just painful. Courses who allow slow play are the problem. Active management on pace of play would take ChiChis from 2/5 to 4/5 stars overnight. Just give slow players a ticket for a small bucket of balls for every hole you make them skip to keep the place moving. It’s a shame to have avoid ChiChi’s because of pace of play - but I also can’t stomach playing there more than one time year. I enjoy it enough to go back and try again - only to be frustrated and disappointed by pace management (not course quality) every time.

Florida courses don't care whatsoever about pace of play. Snowbirds will jam the course all winter playing 6 hour rounds, no questions asked. So what does the course care. Unfortunate reality of living here.

Slow Fridays

Very slow due to two leagues playing ahead of us the last league exchanging players after 6 holes played never heard of such any where else a very lack of respect for other players management must make changes if they want us to continue playing here lots of choices out there.
