Disappointed

Course was run down. Walked up to what I thought would be a club house to discover a condemmed building. Looked to the right of it to discover another structure that was to be the club house. Staff was nice but the carts were very dirty and the key was on a block of make shift wood? Staff informed me that golf vision had sold the place to the city of Johnsburg and that it would be changes in the future. The course was beat up but playable and not enough markers to guide yourself to next hole etc. I played but was disappointed throughout the day with the shape of course. I would return if reassured improvments would be made. Hopefully new owners make a commitment to this as it has potential.

Chapel Hill Review

This was the first time I played this course. The hilly nature of some of the holes made it challenging as the green could not be seen from the fairway approach. The pace on the front 9 was rather slow but it picked up on the back 9. We did finish the round in 4 1/2 hours. There was no drinking water available or any beverage cart so be prepared to have water with you.

A good neighborhood course. Lots of hills and trees, very little water. Grass a little thin and ground a little hard but in good shape otherwise.

Not to good

Some dead spots(fairways and greens). Greens were very stiff and fast. Stopping the ball was a chore. Wedges bounced off greens like they were concrete. Sand was unplayable on 85% of course. Also surprised they didn't have a ranger babysitting shirtless drunks on Saturday Memorial Day weekend.

Fair Value, Decent Pace, Long Enough

Title sums it up. You get what you pay for, and Chapel Hill is the course I play the most often. For $20 hot deals, or even the coupon rates you can get off their Website, it is a decent enough course. The length allows you to use every club in the bag, the atmosphere is casual, and the staff is friendly.

If you're looking for majestic views and cart girls, you got the wrong place.

If you're looking for a quick round (weekdays) at a fair price, this is your place.

Bad Layout From Red Tees

Course was in good shape (especially the greens) and staff was very friendly. My biggest issue was the layout. The par 3s and 4s were way too long from the forward (red tees). At least three par 3s were set up at approximately 170-195 yards which 90% of women have no chance to hit in regulation without hitting a driver. There were also at least three par 4s that were 375-400 yards from the forward tees. In many cases, the difference between the "forward" tees and the next set was less than 15 yards. That is not much of an advantage for women and/or less skilled golfers. I enjoyed the course enough that I would recommend it to male golfers, but I know a lot of women who would find it too difficult.

Excellent Value and Greens are Very good Condition

This course has very good condition greens. The front par fours are very long and somewhat narrow.

Been playing this course for years and it is now in best shape...ever!

Demanding More

Although the course was decent and somewhat challenging, the pace of play was very poor. The course allowed six golfers to play together and this group would not let others to play through. Also, other groups would not let others play through even though they were very slow and may have been hitting more than one ball. I would not recommend this course for someone who likes to play golf at a decent pace. And many golfers were sharing golf clubs which slowed play down.

Decent Shape for fall

Watched the weather and slipped in a round after a rainy Saturday morning. Weather cleared just long enough but was a tad cold on the back nine. Chapel Hill was in decent shape for this late in the season except for a few greens (namely 11, 13, 14 and 15) which were pretty torn up with previous winter damage but the rest of the greens were pretty smooth and fair. Lots of leaves but it's that time of the year. Plus the course was empty when we arrived at 11am....and scooted around in 315. Love this place because you save $50 by not playing Stonewall Orchard and don't have issues with pace of play because of the empty tee sheet on the weekends a lot of the time prior to noon. 3.5 stars and had a real nice day.

Won't golf here, or at any golf visions run course again

Started on the back 9 as it was slightly jammed at 1 when I arrived, and half way through my round I was greeted by the cashier who told me I needed to show my receipt or leave (I've golfed at golf visions courses numerous times and have never received a receipt upon purchase). When I told him he didn't give me a receipt, he threatened to call the police. I feel like I've been robbed. I will not return to any golf visions course in the future. If you must golf here, make sure to get a receipt so they can't pull the same stuff on you.
