They have to do better…

Slowest course ever. 40 minute delay because the starter is disorganized, followed by an almost SIX hour round. Not even joking. Course conditions were okay outside of the sloped tee boxes….how do you even accomplish that?!! And finally, the course was so crowded and over booked that they refused me the cart I paid for. Buyer beware when playing this course. Would not recommend especially at the price they’re charging. There are much better courses not far away.

Stay far far away

Tee time was pushed back 30 mins, starter than completely missed me and confused me for another twosome and let them go ahead of us. This place is a zoo and completely disorganized. They dont enforce any type of pace of play and let two groups who were clearly there to fool around hold back everyone starting from the 6th hole. Every hole after the 6th was on average a 10 min wait. We left at the turn cause it was tracking to be a 6+ hr round. Unbelievable.

Bad greens

Greens were aerating and will definitely affect putts. Greens are also super tiny so you better nail your approach shots at a super high rate. The narrow fairways and lack of spacing with adjacent fairways, coupled with thick grass on the secondary cuts, will lead to very unpleasant journeys of looking for your balls.

Chester Washington Review

This is my third time to play this course. This time the lack of carts delayed my tee time by 35 minutes. Course layout is challenging. Green are nice.

6hr

A 6hr round is ridiculous. Space out tee times or have a Marshall encourage pace of play.

Rough

The greens were nice, staff is friendly, and good supply of carts. Scenery was nice , with two lakes. Stay on the greens because once you’re in the rough it’s difficult. One downside was all the greens were worked on so it made putting unpredictable and hard to read.
