Slow

On the weekends they let groups of 5 play together and the ranger never asks slow players to pick up the pace or let better players play through

Thanks for your feedback. Playing fivesomes has been part of the CHGC history for 40 years. We are known for our good pace of play daily, but it can get pretty busy during the winter months. We will make sure that the rangers are keeping up with pace of play. We hope to see you back soon. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Repairs disrupted play

Normally I like the course and his layout. Major repair work is disrupting the course and it’s playing ability. Fairways are bare And the greens are very spotty. Won’t play there again until spring.

Best condition in a long time

We’ve played the heights for over 12 years, this is about the best I’ve seen it. Greens are rolling unbelievably good, real fast and true. If you’re not careful and are above the hole look out. Great job to the staff and GM great job.

In the state of repair.

They were putting in drainage system and only had 18 holes. The greens we’re good but the fairways were just OK. The staff was delightful and the food great. The pace of play was agonizingly slow.

Under Construction

This course is under major construction. It has 3 nine hole courses with one of them being closed right now. Our golf watches did not work due to all of the hole changes. This is a great place to golf but we will wait a bit until all nines are open to golf again. It was still a good value for the price we paid.

Nine Hole Layout

Booked round thru GolfNow, checked in at the Pro Shop and when we got to the starter stand we found out that only nine holes were open, out of the 27 course. That, in itself, was no big deal, but people should have been notified when booking the round.

It's a wonderful course and we still had a great time.

Thanks for the feedback. During this irrigation renovation changes would sometimes be made 24 to 48 hours out based on how much irrigation would get laid per day. Folks do not leave contact information sometimes when they make the tee time. Sorry for the inconvenience and please call me at 863-834-2379 when you want to come back to CHGC. Brock Witmyer (GM)
