Winter Took Toll

A rough winter with extended periods of ice and snow has obviously affected condition of fairways and tee boxes. Looks like some trees were lost too. Greens, although patchy, still rolled out better than expected. Once we get some rain and the Bermuda grass greens up, I expect conditions will greatly improve rather quickly. I'll be making this place my go-to course again this year.

Overall good

I was sent out a bit early as a single and the course was pretty empty so pace of play was not an issue. The course has a nice base of dormant fairway grass in most spots. The signs of so much rain and the damage it has done on most courses is starting to fade but the bunkers were in awful shape and I was surprised that no effort had been made recently. I lost 2 balls in bunkers due to the water damage and extensive leaves still in them. The greens were in nice shape and rolling well. Nice practice facility. Lake Chesdin is a nice course that you should play with only the bunkers and its somewhat remote location as negatives. Well worth the trip and even better when things start to open up again.

Good deal but way too wet. Close the course when unplayable!

The course could be nice. Everywhere including tees were wet, it has not rained in a few days. Bunkers were completely unopayable. Greens were decent and fair. Range was closed, but by booking on Tee off we were not made aware of that until check in.

Best Bang for Your Buck Within 30 Miles of Richmond, VA

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.

The course is awesome and not crowded

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!

Chesdin on a Beautiful day!

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.

Good Conditions

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.

Always a pleasure

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.
