Challedon has come a long way!

My buddy and I played Challedon yesterday for the first time in a year or so. A previous experience was forgettable. But, this time, I could not give the club more praise. It looked fantastic driving through the neighborhood and did not disappoint up close. While the grass was generally dormant, the conditions were as good as I have seen in the area lately. The course layout is always great, but coupled with the current conditions and upgrades to the clubhouse and practice area, Challedon is now a hidden gem. It will be in the rotation for 2018! Nice work!

Course Condition

I played this course in March and thought the conditions were like asphalt. With all the rain you would think it would be more forgiving. There’s a lot of elevations and blind t-shots and the ball just runs forever. Greens were also very hard and can’t imagine during the summer during dry spells.

Every Club in the Bag

Have enjoyed playing this course over the years. Can’t say enough about how well it was manicured around the greens and they had to be rolling close to an 11…wow fantastic!! As a plus handicap the course is not overly long or overly challenging. However, this is one of the very few courses that I use every club in the bag. It is definitely not a driver then wedge kinda place. The staff is super friendly and the after round bar scene is fantastic with more friendly staff and some pretty good food…I def recommend the Crab Dip. Got a great GolfNow rate and I would recommend this course to anyone.

Great condition and fast drying!

It has been very wet recently and I was really impressed with how dry the course was (with the exception of hole 11). Fairways and greens were in really great shape, and the course layout was a lot of fun. The pro shop were extremely helpful too. I walked the course and it's definitely on the longer side between tee boxes with some solid elevation gain and loss (my total round was 6.85 miles). Highly recommend this course and I will definitely come back when it's a little warmer.

Great winter shape

The course is playing as good as it can for winter conditions. Greens rolling true with pretty decent roll out. Pace of play was nice as there aren’t as many who brave the cold.

Great Layout

I have played this course many times over the years. Always a fun course. However, I was a little surprised with recent conditions. While other courses in the area are greening up and filling in, it seems Challedon is late to the game. The course was extremely dry and still very brown despite good weather.

Excellent greens

Rainy day and expected the greens to be soft and slow, but they were great. Some of the faster greens I have played this winter and pretty smooth. Course is a good value. Only complaint is too many uneven tee boxes.
