Links at Challedon

Been playing this course for years now and the greens were always iffy but have finally been beaten in and are no longer playable. I guess people dont know how to fix divots on this course in particular, but every putt is over a number of divot holes and the greens speed were lower than bmore county courses I normally play. The tee boxes have also been let go, have always been uneven lies on tee boxes but now add in crabgrass and hard dirt and it’s a mess. Fairways/rough are decent and the layout is very cool so I hope they improve the conditions or I won’t be spending anywhere near what I did as it’s on par with a over played county course for now, not a $90 experience whatsoever.

I played Challedon today with a 12:30pm tee time. The tee boxes are full of weeds, the fringe has weeds and the greens have divot marks from people taking full iron swings and then filling them with the repair sand. The staff was friendly until we were in the middle of the fairway on the 18th and told we had to stop playing for 30 minutes by a young lady yelling from a golf cart. She was given the task of telling the remaining golfers that they made a mistake and booked golfers during a wedding by accident. I asked to speak with the manager but she looked involved in the wedding and I didn't want to be rude with wedding guests around so I let it go. Even if there was a mistake make by the booking staff, I would be more understanding if it were communicated differently and in a somewhat apologetic manner. I will not be going back and I have communicated the poor experience to a number of local golfers to make sure that they don't make the same mistake.

Played Challedon many times -- for a tee time in late July, the course is in better shape than most in the area. Pace was in 4 hours, staff always friendly, carts very nice and the beer always cold after the round (try the French Dip is hungry -- its the best). I've played all the courses in the area, Chally should be on everyone's list.

This course makes you pre-pay, which is absolutely terrible since it’s hard to find people to commit to that.

The tee boxes are in terrible condition

The starter does not enforce pace of play

The greens are in terrible condition

The staff is friendly and they have plenty of great amenities. Also, the course is challenging and there are some very nice houses.

I’m glad I played here to add it to the list. But, I will never play here again unless they lower the cost and don’t make customers prepay

Played a 5 hour 30 minute round. Greens were in rough shape

Doesn’t seem to get the care you’d expect of a semi-private course. I suspect they’re leaning on the public tee times for revenue. Multiple members were driving carts right up to greens (which were full of hallmarks), fairways decent but plenty of divots not tended to, crab grass on many tee boxes. Didn’t live up to expectations unfortunately.

Played the course today 6/28/2021...Tee time 1040. Our 4some waited on every hole behind a slow 4some in front of us that had the entire course backed up. We called the shop on the 7th tee box..The ranger came out and very belligerently cursed and screamed at us for playing too fast. The ranger was way out of line....At the time there were 3 groups on the par 3 7th hole (we were on the green, two groups on the tee). Course was in fair shape...Fairways/tee boxes need cutting. Greens were soft and rolling about 7.

The course is in great condition! This course has a couple of wonky holes on the front nine that keep it from being a top 5 in my rota. I got placed with a guy who hadn’t played golf in a year and his place of play caused two groups to play through. Painful.

Would still recommend this course!

First time playing this course since moving to the area and I really enjoyed the experience. Course was in great shape, and great layout. The greens were probably the best greens I’ve played on all year.

The only thing that was not up to par was the rain lol.

I was told to go off the back because 3 Asian female players didn’t want company in my original tee time slot. Really?

So I essentially had to book twice for the same round, even though I purchased and paid for a time. Frustrating not knowing if I would be able to slip into a front nine tee time after the back and having to introduce myself to two different groups in the same day.

Really?

My friend and I showed up for our T time, 20 min in advance, just to be informed that our T time was canceled a week ago due to an event ,and our fee was refunded. The man at the proshop said if we wanted to play ,we had to wait for another hour, 3pm, to start our round, and it is $30/ person. After checking , we found NO email sent,and NO $ was refunded. We paid $78 fir 2 players. After being informed that what they said was not the truth, they want to comp us with a basket of balls to keep us entertained until 3pm. And did not say anything about the difference between $78 that we paid,and $60 ,which is the regular fee for the 3pm T time.

We decided to play at 3pm since we took the afternoon off from work. They said we would have NO body after hole #1. Well, that is not true. The EVENT players, turned around, played more holes in front of us in groups of 8 for 2 holes before I called the proshop to complain.

You all know who you are!!

We never had such bad experience golfing ever, especially such poor conduct from golfers and golf club management team. Should this go unnoticed? The course is absolutely very nice, just the people. It is SHAMEFUL!!

I was looking forward to playing a round at this course but the drive was a hurdle. Very glad I played it. Course was in excellent shape and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to playing there again soon.
