Chastain Park Golf Course

Great course. Fun to play and challenging. Does not have a driving range, food or other amenities. Water is available in the pro shop.

This is the first review I have ever left on golf now, but I just have to let my frustration out. I have played at this course a few times now. Good layout, good location, good price- but the pace of play is just way too slow. Maybe I need to play here one morning as the first group out so I can fully enjoy and appreciate this course. It is ridiculous how slow people play on this course. The tee times are 9 minutes apart but the way this place plays, it needs to be about 15 minutes. I’ve played here before where there was a mixed group of walkers and riders. Just extremely slow. Give this place a try and maybe you’ll have better luck than me. I’ll still come try playing a 7:30 am tee time to give this place another shot but besides that, I will probably not be back. As much as I’d love to love this course, just not for me.

The play was extremely slow. It took over 3 hrs for 9 holes. I had to stop after 9 holes although I paid for 18 holes. I think spacing tee off times or a roaming field Marshall should be implemented.

Good layout. Play here numerous times per year. Only challenge is this being a municipal course it attracts golfers who don't know how to play golf or are just plain slow. I got a nice price and played nine in 2 hours 20 mins. Not sure if it would have tracked to 5 hours or 4 1/2. This was at 8 am which was surprising. Usually only gets slow after noon.

Good group of guys I was paired up with. No significant issues.

Good value for money

Course isn’t bad. The main issues with this course:

- no parking

- no food offered (it’s not covid anymore)

- some of the holes have patches in the fairway of just hard mud on the back 9. Especially the par 4 that goes up hill. No good place to hit. Either roll into mud or roll out of fairway

- worst thing about this course is pace of play. Typically it’s 4.5 hours. The first few holes really struggle to get spacing.

I had to stop after 9 holes because the pace of play was unmanageable or coordinated, I will like a refund for the back 9 otherwise I will call the pro shop. Let me know what can I do about it,

Thanks,

Matt

Only got to play 2 holes before we had to return to the gravel parking lot, starter kindly let us know that there was a concert and that cars parked in the course parking lot would be blocked in by concert attendees. Had to rush off the course to narrowly get my car out before it was blocked in for the night, total BS that a refund isn’t provided when your parking lot is literally overrun.

Great course, nice layout of the holes. Pace was decent, grounds were in good condition. Definatly will play again.
