Chapel Hill CC

Course has many hardpan spots. They do maintain te greens and tees well.

It is a tight course - you have to keep the ball in play.

Ridiculously slow

Drove 45 minutes to join my son for Father's day outing.

Pace of play was a joke. 4some in front of us was almost 2 holes behind the group ahead of them. We waited absolutely every shot anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Only the fact I was with my son saved the event. Too many holes had blind shots where you couldn't see where the group in front of you was. Dirt hard fairways . Really should issue hard hats at clubhouse, balls flying all over the place. Not worth the drive or money, sorry...

You get what you pay for!

A Concrete landing pad packed with people. Long waits for tee off, but for 23 bucks with a cart on the hot deal, I got what I paid for. The best water hazard was the sprinkler that was on on the first hole.

Not bad for the price

Most of the fairways had a lot of bare spots and they were hard as a rock. The greens were in pretty good shape and for the most part the time boxes were good. The course has a decent layout as well. The cost was cheap so that makes up for the bad fairways.

Poor greens

The hills you couldn’t track your ball at all, the greens were in poor shape and it did not look as though there were any plans to fix them.

Once a year

I play this course once a year, mostly early before the course turns to concrete in the dry weather. I give the course a shot every year to see if they have improved conditions, but conditions only seem to get worse. The fairways have a lot of bare spots leaving you with hard pack dirt to hit off of. Tee boxes are loaded with bare spots making it hard to find a decent place to set up for a tee shot. There is limited sand in the sand traps to hit out of. The layout of the course is it's best asset with a challenging layout of doglegs and long par threes. The greens are almost all sloped to challenge your putting. But there was not much upkeep to the course or irrigation. Maybe they need a good course administrator to bring the playing conditions back to what they were years ago.

Poor course

Late April round, but fourth time out this spring and by far worst maintained course I’ve ever played, more areas of hard packed dirt than grass on all fairways. Concrete hard could probably put 100 yards on fairway due to lack of grass and hardness of ground,

Won’t be back

I know it’s early spring but course was like the middle of a dessert, minimal grass and lots of hard packed dirt to hit off of. The course was the poorest public course I’ve ever played. Definitely will not go back or recommend to anyone

Muddy but late season golf

OK for a late season bonus round but was muddy in spots and lots of bare spots. OK if you don't mind moving the ball to some where you can hit. It's not Medinah but a place to play in mid November for cheap.
