Need of attention

This course has deteriorated drastically. Only played to practice shots. Very few good lies on the fairway and bumpy poor greens. Seems like the course is being left to die.

Bad conditions

Course is a disaster. They need to upgrade and do some serious maintenance .

The first green has a trench like a small creek running across in the middle of the green. Greens are unplayable!

Don’t come here

Been to chula a couple of times, this was by far the worst. Pace of play was horrible took over 5 hours for the round and on top of slow play a 4-some hopped in between on the back nine. Greens were atrocious and fairways 80% dirt. Don’t play here if you want a good golf round, not worth the money.

GolfNow App

This is not a review of the course but a comment on the GolfNow App. I received confirmation for ONE tee time but was charged for TWO. I am not sure how this occurred and is extremely frustrating as it is IMPOSSIBLE to contact them as the website simply sends you in circles in attempting to contact them and rectify the situation.

What a goat ranch

This course is in the worst condition possible. Greens diseased, overgrown in the few places there is grass, punched and a total mess. There are no fairways. Just dead grass and dirt. Will never play this course again.

Don’t bother

This municipal course is typically pretty well kept. Not now. It’s a goat field. Fairways are sparse, and the greens to the first 10 holes are basically unplayable. Absolutely an embarrassment.

Fathers day

Me and my son went today and had a good over all round on the marshals out there were marshaling fairly well with other family members that were out doing the same thing except there was a group ahead of us that the martial did not come out after who thought they were PGA tour pros and were shanking balls left and right when I asked politely a you mind if we have my son go ahead of you since you just mean him their response was as h*ll no you can wait your turn so worst experience I had there but still not a bad course the play on

Course is in awful shape

Course was in terrible shape. Can’t tell fairway from rough. Greens were even worse. Greens were awful ! Pace was bad as well. Kids running all around. and the course manager had the nerve to say I was the one holding up play (and suggested me to wait and pair up with another single that was 4 groups back) when I was up and down in 4-5 shots. Can’t get over how bad the greens were.... Paid for 18 but after 11 I walked off. Terrible conditions combined with me having to wait 10-15 mins for EACH shot made for a bad time. I don’t suggest anyone playing here until they actually start taking care of the course. Wondering if they even have grounds keepers???

First Time Playing

Great value!

Course wasn’t in optimal conditions, but I’ve paid 4 times more to find similar conditions in other courses. Layout is very nice, lots of water hazards, exotic birds, greens ok, hard bunkers but ok, felt slow because we had a foursome in front and we were three, but finished in under 4 hours. I would definitely visit again!

Wouldn't play here again. Don't reccomend.

Course was in terrible shape. I wouldn't play here again. Not sure I'd even play if it were free. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are a joke, pretty much playing on dirt the whole round. It would be a super fun course if it was in decent condition. Unfortunately they have completely given up on the place. Pay a little more and head elsewhere.

Just isn't the same anymore

Our tee time was at 130. When we arrived to the course about 15 people were waiting at the tee box. No social distancing going on. The person at the pro shop didn't call out the names. So everyone was just heading out when they want.

The layout wasn't even on par with the pictures. Every hole was dirt.. They had months during covid to air- rate. But didn't. Not a single green was nice. Maybe 1 to 2 tee boxes were nice. The pace of play was ridiculous. Played 16 holes in 5 1/2 hours. The Marshall was only there to collect a paycheck. Just a bad experience. Me and the buddy payed 15 dollars for the course plus an additional 30 for the cart. Totally not worth the money. Chula has been my home course since I was a kid(30 years). Sad to see the owners don't care about this place any more.
