Mount Vintage Golf Club - Chester Course

I played Mt Vintage about a month ago and thought that the condition of the course might be because it hadn’t had a chance to fully fill in. However, now that it’s June it’s had its chance. Some of the tee boxes on the Vintage course were almost fully void of grass and way too many of the greens had large patches that were dead and almost mossy. The fairways seem to be in pretty good shape. I think that if I’m going to pay more than $30 to play, I should expect the course to be in better shape. I can see where some of the greens have been patched but it’s got a ways to go. Staff are always very friendly and helpful.

The fact of the matter is that Mt Vintage is out in the middle of nowhere and it looked like they didn’t have a whole lot of people playing that day. To attract more, they need the course to be in better shape or offered at a lower price. But I imagine that to get the course in better shape, they probably need more revenue from more players. Catch 22.

The greens on Chester not as good as those on Vintage. There were some extremely thin spots on them. The fairways were great.

Clubhouse is beautiful. Staff is very friendly. Golf and beers very reasonably priced. Hardly anyone on the course, so played quickly. Don’t care much for course layout. Way too many sharp doglegs and blind tee shots. One hole (maybe 5th) on Chester that is sloped so severely right to left and down that it’s almost impossible to keep it in the fairway and not lose it without hitting it right of the fairway. Greens were decent but have some spotty areas here and there. Fairways were pretty good but have some thin areas too.

The course was in very good shape for the first week of May. The greens rolled a little inconsistent but that is common around the state now. Staff was very friendly and the weather was great.

Love the layout,it is very challenging,lots of uphill and downhill shots. Would definitely play again.

Course was good, I think the fairways still need some improvement, the greens were a little slow and the overall course was in subpar condition. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful..

only bad parts of course, traps need work and grass needs to fill in with hot weather. some greens need help but most are great

Excellent course rolling hills and multiple elevation changes with beautiful water hazards and a great way to end Masters week the the boys.

I listed as first time playing this course because it’s been 10+ years since I played this course. I’ve heard they were bringing this course back to life after a few tough years. Let me start by saying that they are doing a fantastic job. This course is looking great. The greens were a little slower than I like but I can tell they are working hard to make the A+ green. They are about a B+ and roll smooth. The course is a beast and I can’t wait to get back out there soon to hopefully tame this wonderful beast. Also, the views are amazing, the staff is great, and the amenities are some of the best in our area. Thanks Mount Vintage for a wonderful day of Golf.

I have been playing this course for 10 years. It went from being fantastic and my favorite to awful and a disgrace. It is not quite back to the top but it is definitely heading there --fast!

Congratulations to the Mount Vintage staff and members. You have really turned this course back to the gem it was when I first played here in 2005. Greens have been repaired, speed greatly improved. The course and community are beautiful.

I recent played Mount Vintage Golf Club. I heard the course had some financial difficulties but after hearing the course was purchased by the local HOA who was in process of doing extensive renovations I thought it might be worth a visit. WOW - the course is back! The bent greens are awesome and the new bunkers are fantastic. If you haven't played the course in the last couple of months you should give it a try.

Greens were in pretty good condition as were the fairways. But the rough was terrible even rough parts in some fairways. Rough was 6-8 inches deep spent probably more than an hour just looking for balls when you could see exactly where they went . Won't play this course until they get the rough cut!!!

The course is in horrible shape. The rough looks like it has not been cut all year. The greens are horrible. Burnt with fairway grass growing on them. Bunkers were terrible with the liner coming through the packed sand. Can't believe they think someone should pay $65 for that. Whoever is in charge of taking care of this course should be fired. The local community course in Augusta is in better shape than this place. We will never go back to this course again and I encourage anyone wanting play golf for these green fee's should look elsewhere. It will be money just thrown away. Stay away from Mount Vintage.

Nice layout with 3 nines. Course is a little rough but still fun to play.

Course was unmowed and grass dead because of the lack of rain and sprinkler system. Greens were good though and layout was great.
