About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 71
Length 5313 yards
Slope 128
Rating 71.0

The Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club, centrally located on McMullen Booth Road a comparably short course, offering just 5,313 yards from the blue tees and a slope rating of 115. Most of the fairways are wide, making errant shots still playable. In essence, it is the ideal place to work on your golf game, to correct that nasty slice or learn to hit that oversized driver without fear of losing 100 balls. As a result, it is a favorite among novice golfers who want to be challenged but also have an enjoyable round.

Decent Course

I am sure there are much better courses in the area but this one was fun. Short but fun. Greens were in rough shape. Very bumpy from being plugged. Seems like a little work on them and they could have been much better.

Aeration bumps and sand, otherwise good

Apparently, they had aerated a few weeks ago, but the greens were bumpy and some were sanded. Otherwise, some of the best tee boxes I've encountered, and fairways and rough were in very good shape. Hadn't played here in years, and they've really done well to improve it. Just go next time when not aerated.

Awesome Course

Really cool course layout with a lot of mounds and good differentiation. I went while greens were airating so will be curious to see how well they are at full curation.

Greens were punched last week so still candy and bumpy, besides that the course was very wet but playable.

Please learn to keep the game moving!

Forgot to mention nice new carts in last review. No complaints with course EXCEPT greens recently punched & sanded. Putting was pretty much a guess (more so than usual). Rake the bunkers after you're done! Foursome in front was annoying, behind by 2nd hole, stayed behind until back 9. Told us they was a 5-some ahead which was true, but I only saw them wait on 1 par 3. Parked carts in front of greens, had to wait for them to move. Legs apparently didn't work, as they rarely (NEVER) walked from the cart to their ball, had to be driven. Typical of golfers today.

Platzbewertung

Excelent gepflegter Platz, sehr abwechslungsreich, tolle Grüns.

Driving Range liegt leider auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite einer stark befahrenen Straße.
