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.

Put the driver in the bag

Fun course. Tight fairways. Fast greens. I put the driver away after the 2nd hole and focused on my iron game. You’ll need to hit tight shots. Small fairways and hazards throughout. Don’t let the short yardage fool you. Bring your game.

Ok not bad

No practice area. Only 3 tee box options.

Greens very good. The fairways fair.

In general an “ok” course. Price ok.

I’d play again if no better options available

Fairways, tee boxes and greens were in good condition. Greens were also very fast with tough pin placements, which tested your hole management. Overall a nice course!

Chi Chi’s on a Wednesday

It has been 12 months since I last played this course and I saw a lot of good changes to the course.

It .is much more wide open and still challenging. 😥. Always liked this course and practice facilities as they are close enough to my home to enjoy.

The play on February 25 2026 was not all that great. We were not expecting to have a 5+ hour round ( if we would have plated all the holes. Play was very slow and really affected us and a few teams behind us .

We saw no Marshalls to assist in managing the play movement and speed.

We are not professional by any means but the group ahead was painfully slow. We did not get a full round in.

We will try another time ( as we like the course) to see if anything improves .

Grear Playable Layout

The course was a very playable, straight forward course. A shorter than normal course, a true test of your short game. Green were in great condition, rolled fast and true. Staff very helpful.

Loved the layout

All need to always remember it’s winter here, I think so many come to Florida and with 70s and 80s they expect lush green courses. The two things I look for is reasonable fairways and good greens, this exceeds both. Fair price as well. Course makes you think from the tips. Definitely coming back.

Nice day of golf at fabulous Chi Chi Rodriguez

The fantastic course design and nice putting greens and tee boxes helped make for a fantastic golf outing.

I'd give 5 stars if the fairways were better than average. I used "winter rules" so it was fine..

It's a great value for a public golf course!

Always fun to play

Course was in good shape considering the drought this area has been subject to. Greens are extremely fast and challenging and fairways were in good shape.
