Slowest course I've ever played

It's a challenging course with lots of hills, narrow fairways, blind shots, and difficult water. Overall it's a pretty course with nice views.

However. It is the slowest course I've ever played. This is the third and last time I will play it. We were on the heels of the group in front of us the entire round, and they were stacked up on the group in front of them, and we finished in 5:15. There was a twosome behind us that hit into us more than once, probably out of frustration.

Plus, on course there is no water, few ball washers, and few opportunities to use the bathroom. The GPS on the carts has an aggressive geofence that made me back up while on the cart path more than once. Several holes have poor drainage and were very wet and muddy all over.

The staff were friendly enough, and prices for food and drink were pretty good. But waiting on almost every hole got old really fast.

Unbelievable

I paid $175 for a round here with a friend, and the experience was ruined by two players who harassed us the entire time — swearing at us and even putting their hands on me. We’re minors, and it made the round uncomfortable and unbearable.

When I brought this to management, I expected them to at least take the situation seriously. Instead, after days of waiting, the response I got was: ‘there are three sides to every story, yours, theirs, and the truth. No financial compensation… let it go.’

That’s how this course treats paying customers, even kids. No accountability, no concern for player safety, no respect for their community.

Golfers have plenty of choices in this area, and I strongly recommend choosing a course that values its players and creates a safe, welcoming environment. This is not one of them.”

Excellent Course

Challenging. Beautiful. Diverse. Three words to describe this gem of a course. You’re given 3 holes to work out your kinks, once hole 4 comes, be on your game or you’re in for a long day! I love this course and go at least once a year.

Slightly disappointed

Played there yesterday. It was 91 degrees with 75% humidity. Not one water container on the course. Not really asking too much. Also, noticed course could use more attention to detail. Slight lack of maintenance. Bathrooms terrible.

A Challenging Round

Chalet Hills is a great course for golfers that hit the ball straight. It is tight around the fairways and errant shots result in lost balls. Their cart system needs some adjustment. We received “Restricted Area” warnings while on the cart path and in tge center of the fairways. It was very annoying.

Just Miserable

After check in they tell me that it's cart path only. do to some maintenance issue. It's 92 out side. Clearly no maintenance issue on the course. Because of this issue play is extremely slow on a Wed afternoon. 5 hrs later

we leave skipping 4 holes. One cart goes dead & no cart girl on the course

Just miserable
