A smal but interesting course - very friendly staff

A good course on which to practice your golf skills. Greens played truer and faster than their appearance suggested. Good value for money - staff encouraged us to come back again, and I think we will.

Fun course, great for scoring yet still challenging.

Course starts out on a par 5 which backs up #1 quite a bit and slows down the pace of play. However, if you are a patient golfer, which you should be, then you'll enjoy the course. A lot of holes that are good for scoring. There's a third party driving range across the street that opens at 830am. There's also a netted area to warm up, chipping area and putting green. Staff was great and the facility is in good shape. If you're thinking about playing here then I would say definitely give it a try.

Nice day out

This course is not long but has a challenging layout with many bunkers and water to deal with. As a fun day out its a good pick and worth the price.

Fine for a novice, otherwise don't bother

This is a very short course, 5400+ from the tips, 3900 for the women. The worst thing is that we waited on every shot. It took 2 3/4 hours to play the first nine and we walked off. Some of the greens were in bad condition but for the most part, the rest of the course was in ok condition. Basically, if you are more than a novice golfer, you can find a much better course for the same cost. It felt more like an executive course

Not worth the price

Cramped course. They set up tee times but they don't make the effort to keep these on time. My round took over 5 hours and there was way too much waiting around. The official literally had 4 different groups playing on the first hole simultaneously. Greens were sloppy and unmowed. For the price I suggest going to almost any other course.

Challenging course

The course has many tight fairways with water and or trees on both sides. Some holes have sand traps a long the enter length of the fairway. Club section is very important on this course.

Expected more.

This was the first course my wife and I played on our winter vacation. We chose Chi Chi's course because of his name and reputation. Coming from snow covered Indiana at least we were able to play. However, I thought the course was not in as good of condition as we had expected. The fairways need to be thicker. It has a very good layout with lots of water and beautiful trees. Two big gators sunbathing on one hole. We followed a slower foursome (mostly caused by slower groups in front of them). This would not be a problem except we were followed by an impatient threesome that kept hitting into us. Finally, after coming close one of the group drove up to apologize...saying he didn't realize he was going to nail it that good. Really! Maybe our next visit will be better.

Tough little course

Played the Whites at 4816 thinking that this should be a pretty generous course to score on. But after four holes the course let me know that your shots have got to be closer to the fairway. The wind this day was 10 to 15 and did play with the ball a little. The greens were in great shape and easy to row the ball.

Chi-Chi

Haven't played here in a few years. Very hard ground in fairways as well as rough. Like playing on concrete. Very hard to get under ball if using an iron. Bunkers were hard sand same issue as fair way & rough. Greens were in okay shape. There are local courses in better condition available for comparable money.

pace of play

This course has the slowest pace of play of any course I play. It AVERAGES 5 hrs. consistently and there are never any rangers around to speed it up. If you are going to play this course make sure you do it in the middle of the week when there are fewer people on the course, then MAYBE you will get through it in under 5 hrs.

Chi Chi Chia

Excellent course for the money YEAR ROUND, therefore it has a tendency to get overly crowded on the weekends. Layout allows for a single to jump around the course easily. Although not long, course has good terrain and is moderately challenging. The only real problem with the course is drainage...it gets muddy after heavy rain, but what do you expect when it is built as a preserve. It is a fun course, and easy to zip through when not crowded. You can also walk the course.

Disappointed!

We had an 11:42 tee time. Course was packed and we finally teed off at 12:50. It was obvious they let people that did not have a tee time get in line. Why then did I have a scheduled tee time. You should NEVER be delayed over 1 hour for your scheduled time!No excuses!
