Chastain Park Golf Course

winter course . Beware of standing water conditions they can close the course

Are they closing the course and building houses? It would hope so with how bad the conditions are. Greens are only thing good about the course now.

Massive holes in cart paths, mud pits everywhere, standing water after no rain for 4-5 days.

This course used to be in pretty good shape.

Won’t play here again until they get it in better shape.

Pro shop is bare as well.

This course is a good round of golf. Its a little longer than I usually like to play but for the most part we liked it. The sides varied a bit the front side was a little more open and forgiving. The back side was narrower and more demanding. I would recommend this course to anyone who really likes golf .

Typically in muni shape but has some seriously difficult holes. The par 5s are somewhat easy but tricky (2 water carries on #2, tight drive on #10), fun carry on #17) and the 3s are average but the 4s? They're all you can handle. Not that length alone determines difficulty but the front 9 par 4s are 417, 366 (they don't let you play from the blue 429 anymore), 388 (tough hole, #1 HC), 433, 365 (and tight), and 371 (cupcake). The 2 hardest holes are on the back - #15 443 and #18 446, but #s 12 & 13 are 393 and 395 and uphill. 'Moderate'. Riiiiight.

Need to fix the drainage issues that cause the fairways and cart path to completely flood. Also need more dirt around the cup on the green.

For the price, it is OK. But pace of play is super slow, and the course is in very average condition.

You really can’t expect a lot from a municipal type course. Although it’s nice and long and wide. It’s a bit rough, especially the cart path! The greens are Soso. But overall having a course in town and nearby is definitely worth the play. And especially the price for seniors! Bring your own Gatorade and snacks. All they have is water. And they are a cashless business.

Looked very promising upon arrival we were there 20 minutes before our tee time then had to wait over an hour before we could play. Extremely cluttered very long waits between holes cause groups were not staggered correctly. So it ended up taking us 4 hours to complete the front 9 and by that time we only had about another 15-20 minutes of daylight left, so needless to say we weren’t playing the 18 we paid for. Go inside to ask for a rain check on the back 9 only to be told that there was nothing they could do and we were just out our money. Won’t be returning.

I had not played this course since working in Atlanta 25 years ago. It did not disappoint. It’s a historic old venue and in good condition for December. It is certainly understaffed and those who work there probably feel under appreciated. Those in the clubhouse could have just smiled and been a bit friendlier. Maybe it was just a bad day? Also, I left my rangefinder on a cart after playing and didn’t realize it for two days. Still haven’t gotten anyone to answer the phone to inquire about it since I live out of state. But I would recommend playing it if your anywhere in the north perimeter area..

The course has a nice layout it needs work.

Cart paths

Fairways

Greens

Bunkers

Golf is so popular since COVID time to heal/repair the course. Spread out tee times more to help pace of play.
