Course condition poor

They should be giving aeration discount because greens in such poor condition. Will be a while before they are decent.

Greens were terrible

The overall course was good nothing special. The greens were the problem!!!! The greens were in terrible shape for $44.99! The rest of the course was an average course for here in mid Florida! Now granted that this is a City run course where I have played other courses that are owned by the city but managed outside that are way better!! One course I will put you up against is Willowbrook! City owned but outside managed and it is in great shape. Your fairways were good, got some bounce and roll out of the miss hit or two but I was expecting more as you have alot of high school and other tournaments there.

Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. We had done a Curfew Application during this time period that is disruptive to playing conditions. We hope to see you back in the near future. Brock Witmyer (GM).

Great staff, terrible course

The staff is great. The bar and restaurant is also fantastic. However, the condition of the golf course scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best and one being the worst I give it a -5.

Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it. Over the past couple weeks, we have done a Curfew Application to treat for Nematoads. This application puts slices in the turf and releases a gas. The application is a must here at CHGC. We hope to see you back soon. Brock Witmyer (GM)

25 yrs we’ve played here and it needs love.

I know this course will never be great but they just need better conditions. Too many greens are in rough shape. Tee boxes need love. Some fairways are descent , others aren’t. The greens need completely redone. They always have the range closed thur am for maintenance. This is the only course I’ve ever seen to close the range while open unless it needs to be closed for a period of time. Too many other courses in good shape to keep playing here. The layouts of the 9s isn’t very good so conditions need to improve. I guess it’s playable but just isn’t good enough to keep coming.

Hi. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We understand your frustration with the construction projects underway. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.

Unfortunately, it is that time of year when the Winter overseed has transitioned out and the Bermuda grass starts to take off. Over the past (3) weeks we have done a Curfew Application on all three courses. This application slices the turf and shoots a gas into the turf to control nematoads that we battle here at CHGC. Next month we will be doing aerifications on all 3 courses. These maintenance practices are a must, but they impact play. Hope to see you back soon. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Greens and fairways are in fair condition. Lot of mowing and construction distractions the day we played (around 11:00am). Overall, still enjoyable and a nice municipal course!

Typical public course

With no homes on most of the course, nice wide fairways and enough challenges for the amateur golfer, this course has the potential to be very nice.

But, they've jammed 27 holes into a space large enough for only 18.

Unfortunately, it's over booked so the pace of play is slow.

Cleveland, like most Florida golf course are aerating their greens but many of these greens need a lot more work than just aeration.

We also wondered why they have 3 nine hole courses, rather than an 18 and a 9?

Ken, thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it. The original 18 holes goes back to 1925. In 1983 the B Course 9 holes was added to meet the supply and demand. CHGC is on the Florida Historic Golf Trail. Pace of play averages 4:15, which is good considering we did 87,000 rounds of golf last year. We hope to see you back soon. Brock Witmyer (GM)

Great day on the course!

Cart paths need some attention. Pace of play was good. Some fairways had rough patches and some no grass due to having no rain for awhile. Ate in restaurant and it was very good. Didn't like choice of beer that was free!!!!

Like playing in a park

Course is in good condition. Green are relatively fast and are consistent. Many greens have significant contours to test ones skills. Fairways are generally good and the green fringes and approaches are generally good. The areas just off the green are typical of Florida courses, not brilliant so get ready to chip off hard pan, sand or very sparse grass. The cart paths are in need of work but it did not spoil the round.. Free beer with every round in the very reasonable restaurant. Great balcony are to sit and watch the struggle of golfers on the A9 green.

Lots of wildlife to accompany your round, watch for gators, hawks, eagles and turtles.

Great course

Played Sunday, 04/16, with 12 of us doing Ryder cup style. Played all 3 nines. A little rain for about 20 mins. The Staff were on point in every way. They were terrific. The starter was great at herding cats. The course was in very good condition. Greens were good, a little slow, but not bad. Maybe we just suck at putting. The ladies in the bar were fast. Over all great time. Will be back.

Always has been a great track for the price point! But they have really stepped up the course improvements recently. Hope they keep it up! Love the 19th hole as well! First beer is free with a filled out score card. Why can’t all courses do this???
