The course can be over booked sometimes

The course for most part is in good shape. Only one green #2 needed work. Tee boxes good shape all flat n squared.

Subject: Complaint Regarding Delays and Cart Availability – November 22

Hello,

I am writing to file a complaint regarding my reservation at Chester Washington Golf Course, booked through GolfNow for November 22 at 12:44 PM.

When I arrived, I was informed that there were too many players on the course and that there would be a minimum 30-minute delay before I could start. On top of that, I was also told that no carts were available at the time.

Because of this, it was clear that I would not be able to finish my round, even though I booked and paid for my tee time in advance. I received no prior notice regarding the delay or cart shortage.

This was extremely inconvenient and unacceptable.

I am requesting at least a partial refund or credit for this.

Course condition is so bad

First time in here and would never be back. I just experienced the hardest bunkers in my golfing experience. There are so many patches without grass, even in the green. Especially the green is not flat,

Solid track!

My new favorite around the South Los Angeles area! Greens were decent enough, some patchy but all in a fun course with decent conditions!

Great Course to play.

I had a blast out on this course! The long fairways provided plenty of room to let it rip and really enjoy the game. On top of that, the staff was super friendly and went out of their way to help me get started since it was my first time playing here. Overall, an awesome experience I’ll definitely be coming back!

Green used to be good but for last 18 months it has been bumpy, has not been cut. Bunkers feels like wet dirt.

Pace of play

This place is great but for the price the pace of play should be a lot better. They also make you go with 5 people

Sometimes because they want to combine tee times. They should never do this it makes everything take a lot longer and almost ensures people won’t come back.

Has So Much Potential

This course could be a hidden gem if it wanted to be. The layout is actually a good challenge that lets you hit multiple types of shots. The issue is the greens. It was diabolical with the lack of care. I can understand a city course running slower, that’s fine… these felt like it was almost impossible to sink a putt with how bumpy and inconsistent they were. The overgrowth on the cups showed me they hadn’t had a new cup cut in a couple days which meant the hundreds of foot impressions around the holes made a ball do very strange things if it was on target. If the greens got fixed I’d recommend this course to anyone.
