Chick Evans Golf Course

No range master, group that was 2 groups in front of us slowing everyone down. Nothing like pulling up to the tee box and having 2 groups there already. Course was in poor condition. Worst outing of the year and it's not even close.

Took over 5 hours on a short 18 hole course. Too many groups lagging and taking multiple mulligans with no rangers in sight.

It’s a good mid level course. Not much of a challenge.. played for the first time.

* The course is a bit short and most holes are 280-340 yards. So most golfers will only hit a driver and a wedge most of the day. Many clubs in your bag will not get used.

* There is no sand.

* The 3rd hole par 5 is very difficult and only a perfect tee shot will set you up for a second shot, likely a layup before a creek.

* The ground is very very hard. Think road-like. So if you're not hitting the green on a particular shot, be prepared for the ball to bounce and roll quite a bit. It is very easy to think you're laying up and then your ball rolls another 100 yards into the hazard.

* There is a lot of wildlife, which is great. Deer abound. Coyotes, chipmunks, squirrels, hawks, cranes, heron, geese etc.

* You will lose some balls. There are lots of mature trees and a fair amount of water..

* There is a mixture of creative fun holes and straight and simple holes.

* Greens are fairly well kept with the usual exception of people who don't repair their ball marks. And some have some challenging slopes.

* The gas cart policy is bizarre. When we were there it was an additional nearly $20 PER PERSON even if you shared a cart. So yes, your 3.5 hour golf car rental is more than renting a real car for 24 hours. But this might be an intentional pricing tactic to help preserve the health of the course. Not sure.
