I always expect better

I have played here a few times and a few times only because it’s usually high priced. For the price the price that they charge I always expect a better experience. The tee boxes this past time were abysmal. The greens look like someone to a pick axe to them. The fairways were in decent shape. I will not be going back. Links at Gettysburg 30 minutes the other way will get my money. Their course was an immaculate shape, and they charge LESS!!

Pace of Play

I have called the club house letting them know that either the group ahead or one before is very slow and was told that they will come out to investigate but no one did. We ended up waiting on every tee box, including the 9th tee box which was our last hole since we started back nine. I don't know why no marshall on the course on what seemed like a full day. Happy with everything else.

Nice course, good layout, generous fairways

First time at this course. Friendly and helpful in the pro shop. It had recently snowed and the course had been closed the day before we played so there were 2 holes still closed off, but that was no issue. The rest of the course was very nice and in pretty good shape considering the season is just beginning-- which was a pleasant surprised since I'd expected that the snow would have left the course wet and muddy. Instead, it was fairly dry. They had it cart path only which made sense. Course is a pleasure to play--- cart paths are very nicely maintained and the carts were the best at any course in the area we have played in the last few years. Rates were very reasonable. Clean and newly renovated restrooms inside. The Grille was closed at 3pm or we would have eaten dinner after our round. So now we plan to return and will try their restaurant when we do. Starter was very good and managing the starts well to keep everyone on time. Very much liked that they set the expectation of a 4-hour round. Shows that they care about everyone's experience and that's a strong positive for this course and much appreciated. The whole course and staff really left us with a great impression.

TeeOff and Challendon Reservation Issues

First, I like the layout of Links of Challendon. My reservation was for 02/17. I called Challedon on 02/16 to confirm that the course will be open the next day because we recently had some snow in the area. The gentleman at the pro shop said "doubt it, if we do some of the holes will not be opened because we still have snow on the ground." I asked what should I do with the reservation scheduled for the next day and he recommended to cancel so he did. On 02/17, it was a warm day and I checked my TeeOff account and the reservation was still there. I called the golf course and they said the course is fully opened. I then asked about my original tee time that was previously cancelled and it was gone. I then had a (3) way call with Chris (golf pro at Challendon) and TeeOff because I wanted a credit for the pre-paid tee time especially if Challendon had already sold my original tee time to someone else and both TeeOff and Challendon would not issue me a credit. I am not even asking for a refund, simply a credit and they would not do it. The worst part is I took the day off to play and Challendon did NOT lose out on the tee time as they already sold it to someone else. Extremely frustrating.

Sorry for the confusion icywil, it's always risky to book through a third party, so we recommend booking directly through our website......that said, please contact me at the Course for a FREE Round on me.

Helicopters make half the greens UNPUTTABLE

Apparently no effort was made today to blow the greens clear of the normal fall tree detritus. While we all understand leaves will be present - and mobile (when dry) - there were about eight holes today where the greens were totally covered in helicopters and leaves. The only way to clear a path to the hole was with a leaf blower; which we did not have.

Love the course - but course management HAS to blow the greens clear at least morning and mid-day. No excuse for this price.
