Chastain Park Golf Course

My friend and I went to play NFGC for the first time on Sunday 2/24/13. In all fairness it had rained heavily the two previous days, however the course was in horrible shape. Again it is winter and I understand the grass isn't going to be green but on several fairways there was no grass at all. The course is surrounded by a walking trail, hundreds of people with dogs and kids walking within 20 yards of you on several holes was just odd to me. I like the serenity of a normal golf course, did not enjoy being in the smack middle of the city. $50 was a completely outrageous price, I wouldn't want to pay $20 to play again, which I never will. Lastly the pace of play was unbelievable, took us 3 & 1/2 hours to play 9 holes!!! After the turn my buddy and I gave up and took it to the house. Only positive thing was the staff was friendly but I'll go to the bar and drink a ten dollar pitcher if I want to have a friendly chat

9/1/2012 was a excellent morning for golf, I had some friends in town for opening day of college in Atlanta and NF had some good rates on golfnow. Thanks for easy bookings.

This was the first course I'd ever played. Extremely crowded on a summer day. Took us a good 5 hours, and we resorted to playing best ball on the back nine because the idiots behind us kept hitting into us. Lots of people on the course. Probably would have had a better time had we gone during the week when there weren't as many people. Greens were average. Nothing to write home about but certainly not a bad course either.

I'm a seasoned golfer with single digit handicap. I had a 1:00 tee time. We were informed the tee times were delayed when we arrived. No surprise - they are almost always behind. At 1:30 we teed off and after 13 holes and 4h15m later we had to quit due to sunset. We asked for a 9 hole raincheck and were refused. It would have been a 6 hour round if we finished. I asked why and they simple said it was a busy day, sorry. All courses are busy on holidays, but somehow Chastain is one of the few with 5hr + rounds. The staff is simply rude - all of them. A good public course, but staff and management of the course is lackluster as always. I live in Chastain, so I play several times a year and have for 20+ years. The greens are so fast (I love quick greens) since they were cut too short before going dormant. Many balls rolled 20 feet off the green after a short 5 foot putt.. The course needs a better greenskeeper, management, and rangers.

This course has been around for awhile. has had its' ups and downs. Presently in very good shape. Tees need some attention.

Dont be fooled by the low USGA rating, the inclines make some difficult carries and lies. Greens are in great shape for how much play this course gets. Can't beat the price.

Nice layout need attention in spots but overall I enjoyed my round

Chastain is plenty challenging for any level golfer. Greens can be tricky.

Overall the course was in great shape and the pace of play was not too bad. It was backed up at the first hole but it spread out fairly quickly.

I did not realize that there was not a driving range. Clubhouse was great. The carts were in excellent shape.

Overall a pretty good course.

Have played this course for 30 years and it is in very good shape now. The greens are in very good shape with Champions Brermuda greens. One of the truly great championship layouts in the state and surely in the city. This course with the right money spent on it could be one of the best courses in the City -private or public. Play can sometimes be slow - lots of players come that would be better off at easier courses.
