Challedon Has Been in Better Shape

Have played here before and found excellent conditions throughout. Was disappointed to find a number of fairways had brown spots and greens were in disrepair with weeds and ballmarks. Tee boxes have been reseeded but have not grown in yet. Traps were in good shape. New carts are excellent!

Friendly course with a layout that is not too challenging for single digit handicappers with beautiful trees, water and rolling hills in a country club setting.. great food in the club house with friendly and helpful staff

A bit disappointing

I had played Challedon years ago and always thought it was a premier couse. A bit disappointed as the tee boxes, sand trAps, and greens were in poor condition.

Great course going bad

I have played on this course several times . My third time this year. The course has always been in great condition. I especially have liked the greens for their smoothness and speed until now.

The greens have been neglected. Crab grass all over the greens. Seems like they must have lost an experienced caretaker and don’t have a replacement.

Pace of play was very slow….. hardly any Marshall made the round on Saturday. No cart girl either on the rounds either.

At least that would have helped. A stop in the club house after the 9th hole only to be told cash only…. Order took longer than the 10 minutes given, luckily that meant the pace was better on the back nine.

What’s worse, I went to the pro-shop after my round and talked to the GM and the golf professional about the course conditions and they swore everything was great on the course…. apologized that the greens were not to my liking.

What a pathetic response to constructive feedback. Head in the sand approach like the proverbial ostrich was the last response I expected!

I’m sorry my golf now price of 39 dollars was too much for a crappy round. I could have had a better round at a county course.

Unfortunately I have to endure this course one more time as I have a prepaid tournament to play there next week.

Please take care of this once great course and heed the feed back you have been getting from the players, They are more objective than your perception.

Appreciate the feedback, but don’t appreciate the serious unfair exaggeration.

It’s been a long hot summer.

We are not perfect, but we know we have strong ratings and a hard working committed Team. …..and a great value round of golf and food and drink.

Great course, -minus upkeep.

The course was just okay. A lot crab grass on putting greens. Some of the tee boxes were “under construction” the fairways were in average to good shape. The course played well, but I just remember it being more well kept. When I played in tournament in prior years but just not the same visual experience. Staff was super young and I just could get the old feeling back I had years ago. At $89 for this area you just expect a better experience.

Nice course

Friendly staff and starter. Decent pace of play; could have been faster. Despite the bad reviews on the bunkers, I found they were decent. Not hard packed and didn’t encounter pebbles or rocks at all. The tee boxes are clearly a work in progress, but I wouldn’t say they hindered play significantly. Some spotted greens from apparent cicada killer infestation holes (saw several while playing). Fairways were excellent. Rough was good with some patches. Would totally play here again for overall value, staff/service, and conditions.

Conditions are bad as usual

Haven’t plaid it in two years because it is overpriced and not well kept. Tee boxes are very beat up, fairways were in fair shape and greens were ok but pretty slow. Bunkers were very nice actually and the marshals did a pretty good job at keeping the pace moving but still took 4 1/2 hours even though the sign on cart says it should be a 4 hour round.

I wish the owners would put some money into taking care of the course instead of trying to promote the restaurant and “venue”.

It’s the closest course to where I live and at one time was a nice track

Good round

This was my first time out, and I really enjoyed the course. It raiined hard, so the bunkers were very wet. It seemed that the sand was also full of pebbles, so the bunkers were definitely not good to play out of. Other than that, the course held up well to the deluge, and the greens were fair and putted true. It's a course where you can have a very good round if you are hitting the ball straight. I will say that we had a hard time finding our balls in the rough even on good drives and sometimes had to drop and play from where we assumed the ball should be. Overall good experience. Would like to come back on a day when it's not so wet and try again. It's definitely more interesting than some of the more expensive courses in the area, and it was worth the extra drive.

Thanks merry much, u555! Yea, please come back soon on a dry day, we will shine! Rough is hard to mow when it’s wet, but we think it’s a fun fair track!

Also, try the crab cake or burger, best around!

Tee Boxes Matter

First time playing the course this year. The course is in great shape - greens, fairway, rough is fair. The tee boxes however look like they belong to what golfers call a dog track. Either the markers weren’t moved around for weeks, not seeded and mowed or just plain overlooked.

Would have been an easy 5 stars.

Hey U00000,

You’re right, some, some of the tee boxes are in trouble, some. But come on, most are fine, if not beautiful!

Appreciate you coming out and glad you like us, but we have a few challenging small poorly draining boxes……which will be fixed, soon.

Come on man??!?

Disappointed

A holiday weekend round on a Saturday morning , no food in the clubhouse, no beverage cart on the course till we’ll onto the back 9, no hot dogs or anything at the turn. Tee boxes were trashed, fairways were great. Greens were ok. Rally beat up with folks not fixing ball marks. Very disappointed for $89

Dogs available starting at 8am, cart out at 10am, a few problem tees, not all, and we also wish folks fixed their ball marks, so we’re not perfect, but appreciate the feedback.
