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.

Soggy in too many places.

Cart path only makes for a super slow round.

The first hole should be closed, short par 5 where every shot plugs and 8 inch rough surrounding the greens...Greens are sandy and some have patched in blocks of turf in them. Many fairways have long grass in them where its to saturated to mow. For over 35 dollars this isnt a good value at all. Maybe it just needs a month or so to dry out.

Chi Chi Rodriquez

Course was in poor condition due to overnight rains. Cart paths only for all 18 holes. Really wet and muddy conditions. Sand traps in poor condition, The greens had been punched last week so they were horrible. mostly sand.. Tee boxes not much better. Disappointing round for the money.

Great day golfing

They just Aerated the greens and was a little thin in areas which they were actively working on as we played. If we knew that prior we would have probably tried another course.

Good Course to play

My Golf buddies and I always enjoy golf here. The course is well maintained. There are sand traps and water but not an excess. It fairly easy to avoid. This last time the there were 3 women in front of us and they would not let us play through. They were very rude. Not need for that attitude. There was no Ranger out there. It delayed our game by 45 mins. We lost our momentum. A Shame.

Closed Fairways

Right now there are 2 closed fairways that are roped off and no carts. You have to walk with your clubs or keep going back to the cart. In the Florida heat it is no fun. I have played the course twice since it was corded off but no more until the full course is open to carts. If you do not like hot dogs do not even think of eating anything. I will play again this Spring, maybe the course will be back to normal.

A Fun Afternoon

Chi Chi's is always in good shape and the staff is very friendly. They act like they are glad to see you. It was a hot day and we came upon a foursome on the 5th hole and they let us play through. We were a twosome. Chi Chi is challenging and it is a great place to test your short game.
