Chastain Park Golf Course

Chastain Park has lovely terrain with lots of hills.
Some holes are narrow and challenging. Water comes into play several times.
Course conditions are a little unkempt. There are numerous bare ground areas and areas with little-no grass. The course looks a little raggedy.
There are practically no amenities and the golf shop lacked any food or drink.
Pace of play was about 4:30 for 18 holes. Tees could be signed more clearly at transition points.
Decent value. I’ll use it somewhat, due to its convenience.
Big drawback is no warm up area. You go out cold.

This course has a great location and green fees are very reasonable. However simple basic maintenance around the tee boxes could improve the experience greatly. How about some signs to pick up broken tees (may be put a little tee-disposal wood box and/or signage to clean up after your play?

Pace of play was awful, Rangers did not seem to care to enforce it

Such a great course with great staff. We will be back

I used to come to Chastain regularly in 2020-2021, and it was awesome - favorite course in Atlanta, with great rates and really nice conditions. I've since moved out of Atlanta and came back to play for the first time in a few years this weekend, and I was shocked to see how much worse the course conditions have become. Most tee boxes have no grass at all. Fairways are totally carved up by rain gullies and lack of grass - #13 is almost unplayable. The greens are a nice upside - firm but roll true. I'm not sure if the course has come under new management over the last 2 years, but I don't plan to be back.

Fairway grass not yet growing. Many bare spots. Greens ok but quite bumpy and irregular. Balls don’t hold a line. Tricky course. Must know where to hit the ball, and middle of the fairway not always best place. 18 is long par 4. Second layup iron middle of fairway will roll off left into the creek. Stupid contour. Stuff like this is frequent. Need to know this course well to score.

we arrived 20 minutes early and they said we could not have a cart and they were closing so we could not play. the emplyees blamed golfnow for the error. i did not get to play and expect a full refund

Know what you're getting into. Cheap course, no frills. The good...it's in town, good course layout. The bad/could be improved: no beer cart, the clubhouse is bare, no shirts, hats, shoes, nothing! Tee boxes are more like dugouts with almost no grass. They allow walkers on weekends which slows everything down. Fix these things and you'll be able to charge more and people will enjoy it more.

Don’t waste your time here. Pace of play is abysmal. 18 holes took us over 5 hours.

Course conditions good; challenging and clear of a lot of overgrowth of foliage. The walkers are kool who walk around the course on the walking path. The walkers will stop and acknowledge your play. So hope you're a player who can play in front of Spectators.

Cosmetic, my cart seat was badly torn.

Muddy in a lot of areas and hitting off rock hard dirt instead of some semblance of grass makes this a never playing again. I guess at least it’s cheap but you definitely get what you pay for on this course.

We're coming out of winter so this may be expected, but this was probably the worst course conditions I'd ever seen on Chastain Park GC. Greens were long, fairways were muddy, and it looks like they were doing maintenance on the irrigation systems at some point, so there were massive holes around some of the greens. Overall it's wild they can charge as much as they do here. Will definitely be back in the on-season as I genuinely like the course, the last round was just genuinely the worst I'd seen the course.
