The Heights

Mature city course. No surrounding houses which cannot be said for many courses in Florida. Quiet and peaceful. Club house very nice. I got an ice tea and was surprised that it was free refills for the day. Will be back again this week.

Thanks for the positive feedback. You are correct that The Heights is a throw back to no houses, it is golf course and nature. The rich history continues at THE HEIGHTS! Brock Witmyer (GM)

Very Good Course for the Money and Fun to Play

I've played here often over the years. I always enjoy playing this course. I play different tees alot of the times. With the new irrigation system the fairways are beautiful. Better then I've ever seen them. The tee boxes are getting worked on and are on the up swing and getting better. The greens are being aerated the 2 weeks before I played and are still bumpy. But that is expected this time of the year with required maintenance. For the most part the greens are in excellent condition. Yes, there are some spots that are filling in over the next few months from nematode damage(?) But most the greens are in excellent condition. Of the 27 greens 18 of them are near perfect. The other 9 or so, spread out over the 27, are filling in but very very playable. From what I've seen of the greens the damage areas are, for the most part, near edges and not in the middle playable areas. For $25 for 18 with a cart the course can not be beat.

The city of Lakeland should be ashamed.

I’ve been playing on and off at this golf course for more than 35 years.... and they have reached an all time low. Of course the pro shop staff is going to be grumpy and rude (not Keith), that’s a staple at the heights. A course is a wreck. C course is weeds. B course was closed. The greens are complete garbage. The crew mowing has no concern with wet areas... they just blow thru them and leave muddy ruts. It’s time for the City to step up and get the golf course playable. Check out the video from A8 green I’ve attached.

Michael, thanks for the feedback as we always want to get better. We have been doing aerifications on tees, greens and verti-cutting fairways over the past few weeks. It is necessary maintenance practices that golfers hate, but essential. The picture you posted is of 8A is where we have had high counts of nematodes that we are addressing. Please give me a call at 863-834-2379 to talk about your negative golf experience at CHGC so we can correct it. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Soggy after rains

We played after some pretty heavy rains the day before and parts of this course do not drain. The greens were poor, rolling slow on the first nine and fast on the second nine. Fortunately we got a great discount thru GolfNow so we’re happy.

Just punched the greens

This course has three 9 hole courses labeled A, B, and C. We specifically booked B and C because we had heard the greens on A had just been aerated. When we got there the course and the starter had us playing A and C instead. We explained that we had booked B and C but they were having none of it. Basically implied they dont care what we booked they were putting us on what they wanted. The course wasnt bad but the greens on the A course were not really playable do to the sand and bumps but we adjusted. Going from those greens however to the C course where the greens were normal was difficult at first because the speed was so different. The course layout is very nice and overall it was a good day because we were golfing but with the number of very nice courses in the area, we wont need to go back to this course and be treated so rudely and not get what we booked and paid for. This course is a munii so I am sure they will be fine without us. If you go and play just ask about the conditions because they did not have it advertised.

Thanks for the feedback. There are a couple times a year that it gets busy with golf tournaments. Tournaments are either 8am or 1pm shotguns to give public opportunity to play opposite the tournament. We also have the extra 9 holes to accommodate open play while the tournament is going on.

Thanks for your positive feedback. It is great having 27 holes with tournaments and maintenance practices. We will have to address the driving range in the next few years as are only option is to take the back netting higher. We are glad you enjoyed CHGC and look forward to seeing you in the future.
