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.

Very unique

Thus course is a pretty fun little course. It has nice charm to it. It seems like a small course but plays like a big boy course. Each hole is its own hole and there is very few times you could share fairways. None of the holes are very long but require accurate tee shots and precise approaches. The greens were not lightning quick nor were they slow. They played to a good recreations speed. The only real complaint I have is with some of the routing, there were a couple of times where it would have been very easy to get lost had we not been warned by the club house. All in all, I had a great time and most certainly will be back

Fun Day

I cannot complain about this course because it suits so many levels of golfers. Pace may not suit too many other golfers when the course is fully booked.

I like the course, it’s challenges and fun holes.

If you play it, play to enjoy the game.

Great day

Weird layout of the course it's all over the place. We still had fun . No signs once you get to clubhouse to tell you where snack place or bathrooms are but signs to get you towards clubhouse. To many doors to figure out where to go but luckily we brought our own sandwiches and it didnt deter from the game of course. Friendly staff, quick service. Only a small course so some waiting but that's normal. Had a blast. Thanks

Top notch

Played here for the first time. The course is in perfect condition. The only way it could be improved is with yardage markers in the fairways. We will be back very soon.

Great day

Every green was in excellent shape. Sand played very good even though there was a rain the night before.. fairways had very few sparse areas. Tee box we level and then Lowell placed. Overall the course was better than any previous rounds

Great Pace

This course had a great pace of play. While we had two course regular twosomes pass our foursome we played through without waiting. I was traveling alone but ended up playing with 3 players who were fun to play with. There were limited options for food and drink which was the only drawback of the day. Highly recommend this course. The price is right and the course is challenging.

Testy value

Although this is a relatively short course, you still need all the shots to score well. Occasionally the pace of play is somewhat on the slow side. Greens are in good shape fairways less so. I would have no hesitation to play this or a casual round of golf and I’ve been doing so for many years.

Great Executive Course

The layout of this course is very challenging with lots of water hazards and bunkers. Some holes are very tight. Greens were not that fast due to the wet conditions. We would definitely play this course again. I lift my hat to Chi Chi for this course.
