Chesapeake Golf Club

The course itself is not bad. Plays pretty quickly. Pace seems to be an issue sometimes. Seems like groups don’t know how to let singles play through. Greens weren’t terrible but def not the best.

It was a good day for golf vefire weather came un. Git an earlier tee yime. I guess oyhers did too. Without a starter to regulate atarts the pace was slow. 5 hr round..

Conditions were good no complaints there. The absolute slowest pace of play I have ever seen. Left after 12 holes because I couldn’t stand waiting at least 10-15mins on ever single tee box.

We had an enjoyable day.. will definitely play again

Driving range conditions were trash! 180yrd. Max distance

Had to call to ask them to send out a Marshall to check on why it was 4 groups backed up. Pace of play was the absolute worst part about this course. I teed off 35 minutes after my normal tee time.

Course does NOT drain well! Don’t recommend playing after a drop of rain.

NO beverage cart going around the course!

Otherwise playability of the course layout was challenging at times, conditions were well kept (aside from the rain), level of difficulty was about a 6/10. Pretty flat course and a lot of getable holes.

5 1/2 hours to play 18. Three groups backed up at every tee box. Some of the nicest greens in the area as public courses go right now, but they apparently only space their tee times out 4 minutes apart.

Winter golf for a guy from England who spent 20 years in New Jersey brings with it either a vacation or a lot of layers and waterproof clothing. Not in Virginia though and for the last day of the year to play in 60 degree weather it was a blast.

Course is in absolutely fantastic condition for the time of year, greens are great (even if players aren't repairing their ball marks). Bunkers are just awful, but that is no different to any other time I have played the course. Overall though the great weather, great condition of the course and the grouping I had made for a great day.

The only problem I had all day was that I was there on my round all day. 11am tee time and I didn't finish the round until after 4:30. It was a packed course (everyone clearly had the same idea) but nobody from the golf club thought to put marshals out to maintain the pace of play. In fact we hit the turn at 2:30 to speak to guys wo were waiting for a cart for the 1:15 tee time.

Great day (if long) but I love this course and club and cannot wait to go back.

The setting for this course is among a nice neighborhood, yet not too tight. The reason for my title is, this was the first round I've played there and course conditions weren't great. While the days before there wasn't a lot of rain, it was enough to make it a cart paths only day. And while walking out to the fairways from the path, it was obvious there are some serious drainage issues that should be addressed. The course is lined with large oaks and given it was late fall, large amounts of leaves covered many areas. In some cases, if I was slightly off to the side of the fairway, it was a challenge to find the ball amongst the leaves. That combined with the crat paths only slowed our pace. The majority of the greens were in very good shape and the same can be said for the tee boxes. I definitely want to play this course again, perhaps next summer.

Odd layout - lots of opportunities to lose golf balls in water hazards often find yourself hitting a short iron off the tee followed by a hybrid or fairway wood
