Best Staff

Staff is incredibly friendly and awesome, fairways are good, greens are well kept but this day they freshly sprayed sand on them and didn’t let us know so our balls were bouncing around and hard to read!

Fair muni course, needs TLC

This was a good course for the price, and fairly easy to get a tee time. There were bald/dirt spots in the fairways, un-repaired ball marks on the greens, and lots of fowl feces, i.e. duck poop! The course was wide open...great for beginners. It had some challenging holes, requiring some accuracy off the tee. Otherwise, it was a matter of hitting the ball far enough, especially into the wind (when it was blowing), I would probably play this again, after I exhausted all the other courses in the area, or I needed a quick "golf fix", and I couldn't get a tee time anywhere else.

Sunday Golf in LA

Tee time was 10:32 am. Actual tee off was 11:00am. Waited on every hole. 1hr to play the first 3 holes. Greens were in great shape and fast. Great to see overused sections of fairways being roped off and reseeded. Bunkers were in decent shape also. 5 hours 10 minutes to play 18 holes, on a Sunday in LA. Bring your patience and have fun.

Great day of golf

Course was slow because of cart shortage but as they were available out you went. Staff friendly and courteous even with a wait time about 15 min behind. Course itself in good shape and managed to get all 18 in before darkness set in.

Great History Tainted by Poor Course Conditions

Chester Washington for all its history and connection to the great Charlie Sifford disappointed me. Spent time there with my brothers from out of town and I left wishing I had taken them to another course. Greens were recently punched so they get a pass. The fairways, where they weren’t under repair were not well maintained. The best part of the course was the bunkers. That they had sand was respectable considering a lot of courses do not have sand these days. I just expected better of a historic landmark for the game amongst African Americans. I will play here again to give it one more try. If the conditions aren’t improved, it will be my last time playing the course. Please PLEASE manage course conditions. The whole point of playing golf is to be challenged. The course conditions weren’t challenging. They were cheating. Please work on bringing it back to what o know it can be.
