Lake Chesdin Golf Club

We drove up from Farmville, VA. Great course for half the price of Independence Golf Club. I could be partial because I played well but if you are in the Richmond area this is a must play.

Lake Chesdin is an awesome golf course and was not crowded today. The only problem was too many leaves and it was very difficult to find your ball if off the fairway. Other than that, perfect!

What can i say, course is in great shape, greens were really quick but rollled nice. Slow round.. It was a beautiful day and the course was crowded which is unusual. 5 hours. Club house pretty much shut down due to covid.. If you can play here, great course.

Despite the rain last week, the course is in good condition. Sure, there were some areas wet/muddy. Watch your ball if it's headed to the Bermuda rough. This time of the year it can settle down and hide. Leaves would be the other factor but greens were blown clean. Fairways and tees boxes were maintained. At first, they charged me for an extra cart but changed their mind and refunded me. They even had a beverage cart on a Sunday. I live nearby and try to play here a handful of times per year.

Fun course. Good shape, staff very courteous, great amenities, great Covid19 care, organized. Greens, fairways in great shape. Rough is very difficult. Pace was slow. 72 degrees and sunny on Nov. 7 will do that but it was 5 hrs FYI. Didn’t mind as the course is pretty. Tee choices were 5700 then up to 6300. Big gap. Suppose I could have mixed them. Great day.

Love this course. Greens are in great shape! Worth the drive and money. Would play there again for sure.

This course has the truest greens in Richmond. Course layout is fair. There are some blind trouble spots you need to be aware of, but most holes are straight forward.

Will return!

Court is beautiful but the pace was SUPER slow and there was no service to pay for food and drinks with credit card or a server.

I’ve played here a few times now. The range is good, but you will have to adjust for yardages as it is well below the hitting area.

The course is always in great shape, the tee boxes are level, the fairways are clean and the greens are some of the best in the area, fast and true.

What I truly do not understand is why they renovated the 19 hole but it is NEVER open. Ever. Like EVER.

This used to be a private club and they, like many, have allowed public play for a semi private experience so maybe they just used the 19 hole for member events...???

The big disappointment with this is that there is NOTHING near the course for eats and drinks. With all the play, why would they not provide that for pre or post play?

They did have a refreshment cart yesterday, so that was a nice change of pace, but why the 19th hole isn’t available is pretty baffling to me.

Well worth the trek through the countryside to get to it.

All was top notch with the course and people at the course

I’ll be honest, I found this course to be underwhelming relative to the slew of positive reviews. Decent little track that looks nicer than it plays. Not to say Lake Chesdin is a terrible course - but overall, there’s no way I can ever justify playing this over a track like Vinterra for the same price.

The rough is ridiculous.. no snack bat at the clubhouse

This hidden gem is well worth the drive. We have played it several times and it has never disappointed. My son who is well seasoned in the golf industry from Florida said it was one of the best public courses he has played and loved it.

Because of the large amount of rain we have had in past few weeks, greens are a little soft and showing signs of heavy moisture however still roll very good. Course is always if good shape and we will continue to make the trek from Richmond to play here in the future! If you are looking for a hidden gem, make certain you put this track on your list...it will not dissapoint!

Greens were hard and slow but had good day golfing
