Chastain Park Golf Course

It has been a while since I have played this course and I don’t plan to play again unless something changes. I expect all the usual issues with a muni course including crowding and less than stellar course conditions. I play Browns Mill all the time and while it is not great, it is still worlds better than this course. A few issues that I had: The greens were torn up from the mower, the fairways were filled with large hard dirt patches, the golf cart was barely functional and there were huge piles of dead unmulched grass everywhere. The city needs to outsource maintenance of there courses again because this is not working.

Disappointing. The course conditions are poor. There are weeds everywhere including the greens. Extreme heat with no beverage cart, no restaurant, no snacks, no fresh water, etc. it’s a disaster waiting to happen. And the cost on a weekday for this misery? Approximately $50. Great location is the best I can say about this pasture.

The fairways were piled up with grass clippings from what looked like the first mowing in a month. greens were different lengths and all overgrown. Would be a great place to play golf after they hire a grounds crew that didn't treat the course like a hay field.

The grass was cut so high that losing a ball, even on the fairway was common. It caused delays as everyone was trying to find their ball. Lost several balls just because you gave up since the play got very slow and needed to move on. 2nd cut ball would sink to a full disappeared level and some times first cyst was just as bad. You could even hit a ball straight down the middle on the fairway and struggle to find it and sometimes not find it at all.

The roughs were made unbearable with the super accumulation of grass clippings. Fairways were heavily saturated and bare of grass throughout.

Don’t let walkers book tee times at 5. Took 3.5 hours to play 9….

The course was not maintained very good. Lots of grass clippings all over the course. Cart path only. No food or drinks available even though the course saying no outside food or beverages allowed. Greens were so slow. the fairways were like the ruff and the greens were like fairways.

Greens are basically a fairway. Fairway is inconsistent with clippings everywhere and dead spots. Tee boxes are inconsistent with dead spots and weeds. Many spots where there is massive damage to the course. Overall i wouldn’t play this course for anything over $20

Saturday round and they didn’t mow the greens. It could be a quality course if they showed some love.

The course layout has always been fun and the location is prime, but this is the first time I’ve played here in several years and the facilities, carts, and course maintenance are atrocious. They have no food or drinks if any kind. No drinks in July is unthinkable. I would happily pay more to play here if the conditions and amenities were better. C of A needs to outsource management of Chastain GC to a third party again.

Nothing but water for sale in shop, not even snacks. Cart was horrible, every time I stepped on the gas the engine smacked the bottom of the seat. Seats are all ripped. Greens were not cut very short. May as well have putted in the rough. No refreshment cart for on the course. People were super nice but we need some Gatorade or something. Next to Collins Hill, the worst course played yet.
