Chesapeake Golf Club

.I recently had the opportunity to play at this course for the first time, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience.

First, I would like to commend the pro shop staff for their excellent service. They were friendly and helpful, which is always appreciated.

However, I did encounter several issues during my round. The condition of the golf carts was disappointing, and I found the fairways to be mediocre at best. Additionally, the rough around the fairways and greens appeared overgrown, which made play more challenging than expected.

I also noticed that many of the greens had minimal grass coverage, with significant areas of bare mud. One green, in particular, had so much sand that it resembled a bunker, which was quite unusual.

I believe the layout of the course has great potential, but the current state of playability detracted from the overall experience. I hope these concerns can be addressed in the future, as I would love to see the course back in top shape.

If you don’t want to read the whole review, as a summary for the cost of a round here you would be better off playing elsewhere. I have played the majority of the courses in the HR area, so figured I’d give this a go. Clubhouse staff is friendly, Marshall as well. Fairways are in good shape, not as manicured as others but who cares. But boy the greens are terrible. This is just 1 of the probably 14 or so that looked like it. I think maybe 1 or 2 are playable. Otherwise, your best off doing a 2 putt max and moving on as it is basically ground under repair conditions.

Fairways have nothing mode in a long time... Greens were covered in what appear to be asphalt but probably a dried up fungus. Cart paths are horrendous. Struggled through 7 horrendous holes and called it quits.

Strongly suggest you skip golf if this is your only choice.

Greens and tee boxes were dirt, rough was high. I've played here before and this course is in terrible shape. I could not recommend to anyone unless the greens fee was maybe $15.

They couldn’t pay me my yearly salary to waste a day off and golf here, all I see is the owner is talking about how there working on it and trying to get it back to a good course again but hard to believe when the clubhouse looks like **** the pro shop is like a dollar general. SELL THE COURSE TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THE LAND FOR A GOLF COURSE

This course is in horrible condition. The fairways have not been mowed and the greens are absolutely atrocious. You could not pay me to play here again. And then the new owner is like we’re working on it. We’re working on it. He’s been working on it for the last year, we just saying responses to everybody’s reviews.

This was a great course At one time, the new owner has definitely let it go downhill

Course conditions were horrible.

I used to play there couple of years ago but last Sunday was the worst experience of my life at Chesapeake Golf course.

I’m not going there again ever.

Golf now tricked me by offering such a high price for a course that is worst than any municipal course conditions.

I should get my money back & should be given a pass to play somewhere nicer.

What a shame.

Greens are in terrible shape. Barely any grass on 14 of 18 greens. I’ve played courses with sand diesel greens that had more grass

I want to qualify my review by saying that I love muni courses and their purpose in golf, but this course is unplayable at best. The greens are grass less and instead a mix of dead fungus, mud, and sand. The course was a lake amongst lakes with no drainage whatsoever. The powers that be should either invest into the course, only charge $20/round, or shut it down. It was a rip off. Very disappointing.

I am from this area but this was my first time playing here. HORRIBLE conditions. Only 4 greens have actual grass on them. The rest are all dirt. Not thin grass, not a few bald spots, all dirt! The tee boxes are full of dirt with no grass. The course is no better than playing in a mud field. HORRIBLE conditions, worst I’ve ever seen. They need to immediately close the greens for repair and should be honest about conditions. We deserve a full refund since not a single hole was in playable condition.

Greens were horrible, half of the greens had no grass

Was it too much rain , geese . Why does 18 have to only mixture of Bermuda and crabgrass or what every it is. Been that way for 2 years when I started playing

Always enjoy this course, but all the greens are dead and like putting on an Armadillo presently and no mention noted in Golf Now so we played automatic two putt once on the greens.

I would stay away for 6 months and hope they can turn these green conditions around.

I feel like I should get a free round for the deception and lack of warning on this site for my golfing buddy and myself.

10 out of 18 greens completely died off. Course should not be open. They should have temporary greens until conditions improve. New ownership is running it into the ground. Refused to give discount, was told conditions are playable. Zero grass on 10 greens, the rest were patchy.
