Chula Vista Golf Course

I’ve played CV before and understand it’s a value for the cost. However, my outing yesterday was very poor.

I placed my tee time Friday as a single going out at 820am. After watching 3 foursomes go out the starter told me at 815 that the three others in my group had not arrived and he preferred I not go out as a single and wait 30 minutes for the next opening. I was displeased with this proposition and sat near the first tee waiting for the green light.

The starter came back to after 10 minutes and told me since there were no groups coming up I could go out by myself. I expressed I didn’t necessarily want to do that because all it would do is make me stand around and wait for the groups ahead, however he didn’t seem to recognize that and insisted what he was suggesting was doing me a favor, which I didn’t agree with but I didn’t say anything and just went.

When I got to the first green it was blasted with sand and in extreme poor condition. In fact, the first, second, and third greens were in bad condition. Even so, ten and thirteen were worse. After that, I stopped keeping track. My thoughts were they had over two months to do aeriation and course management and they chosose to do it now???

In general, this was a crap golf experience and I will not go back to CV. I am also disappointed that GN sold me as a single and because the others at that time weren’t in the tee at 820 it cost me. I wasn’t happy with any of this and will probably use other booking sites going forward.

I don’t know where to begin. The roadwork getting into the course was brutal, but that might have been more playable than the actual course was. “Fairways” were hard as rocks and had more bare brown areas than grass, bunkers had hardly any sand in them and were like hitting from concrete, and plus they randomly started to aerate select greens so some were just covered with sand while others had none. Staff made no mention of that either so was a very big shock to discover after beginning my round. Definitely get what you pay for when you book a round at this course.

Worst course conditions and 4 groups at each hole 45 min wait per hole!

This course was in horrible condition. I wouldn’t have even paid $11 like senior residents pay to play and we paid$25. Never again!!!. It was a 5 1/2 hr round. Our clothes and legs were full of dirt bc the course is dusty, weedy, and just dried dirt under straw like grass. Greens were acceptable but that was the only redeeming part of the whole experience. The first hole was turned into a par 3 from the normal par 4. The traps had huge mounds of grass around the edges not cut in any uniform manner. It was the worst golf experience I’ve had in years. I went there on a Friday morning. Do not waste your time or money for this cow pasture!

Ample parking followed by an unnecessarily rude woman working the clubhouse window that didn't honor the GolfNow tee time and rate. Ended up paying an extra $15 to ride per person. Mostly no signage directing you to each hole and tee. The course was in terrible condition with some tee pads missing or made mostly of dirt. The greens were underwatered and filled with brown dead spots. This is one of the cheaper courses in SD for a reason. Spend a few extra bucks and go anywhere else.

Course have taken some beatings in the fareways. First hole In bad shape

Been to the course a few times and this was my last time. After being closed for a while and a lot of rain early this year, you would think the course would be in great condition. Hitting from the fairway is like hitting from a very used driving range grass. Greens are in terrible shape. I probably would not complain if the price was decent but $40? Pace of play it's so slow, there was two groups of 4 waiting on a Par 5 when we got to the hole. This course has so much potential, new management in real need!!!

Construction on going play sequence reverse with the 10th and 1st holes were shortened. Pair ways are in bad shape.

The front nine is not as difficult as the back nine. The back nine has a creek that cuts across two or three of the holes. until you learn what clubs keep you out of the creek it can mess you up. Front nine has the same water hazards as back nine but the creek is close to the tee. Larger water hazards are mostly to the right. Tees and greens are in good condition but fairways need to be played with generous winter rules. For the price a good course to play.

Great time, great course, thanks GolfNow and Chula Vista golf, we’ll be back!

so sad, Billy Casper should take his name off this course. From Tee boxes to greens, dirt patches in fairways and on tee boxes, cart paths all dirt, greens were in good condition, very sad, good things, they a guy drive around in golf cart offering players water, but they also were not letting on to some fairways with carts and others only 90 degree, the fairways were rock hard with horrible grass patches with dirt

I haven’t been here in over a year and I honestly can’t believe how much they have improved the conditions someone had been busy all the greens are in fantasy shape

Course had no grass and was terrible. Would never play again.

Price is great but you get what you pay for. Greens were in good condition and really fast. Tee boxes were good. Fairways were terrible. It was like hitting off a rock. Too many dirt spots in fairway. Great layout but needs to be in better condition.
