Links at Challedon

I have played here multiple times a year for the past few years. It is usually in good shape and you can get a decent hot deal price. However, when I played yesterday the course was in rough shape considering the time of year. Super thin throughout the course, more than half the tee boxes were beat up pretty badly, greens were just ok but a lot of ball marks not repaired. Overall, not a bad play but I expected a lot better conditions in early Spring. Many area courses are in much better shape.

A wonderful day on the links. Course was in great shape, greens were extremely fast and well manicured. Played the tips, which would not recommend unless you're consistent off the tee. Lots of OB to get into.

I have not played Links of Challendon in over 15 years. They have had multiple owner changes. The new management team is doing a great job. I would rate everything 4.5. It will be a 5 when tee boxes are reseeded. A few fairways could use extra seed as well.

Excellent friendly staff with great food. I will definitely be back. My Dad & I had a great time. I shot 83 but I should have been in the 70's. I had some relapses in execution. I will be back. Keep up the great work. When I come back hopefully, I can rate you a 5.

Challedon was pretty great in terms of course conditions, staff, food etc. However if I am paying 80 then I expect a little bit more, given that it is a bit of a drive for I am guessing most who patronize the place.

Pros: Course conditions were pretty great, well maintained fairways and greens as well as tee boxes. The staff was friendly, helpful etc. The layout is pretty good too, its somewhat challenging with the par 5-4-5 start. Water into play on a few holes and its an enjoyable course without making it ridiculous. Food and drinks, pro shop, bathrooms, general Covid rules are on par with clear signs etc.

Cons: First up there was a bit of frost delay but there was no starter to tell us when to get to the new tee times. Luckily everyone was courteous and figured it out amongst ourselves. Also I hope the kids manning the carts wear their masks and pool noodles in the holes so that people don't have to reach down in the cups. These are easy one hour fixes for you guys.

For the more longer term fixes I hope the bunkers get a few inches more of sand over the course of the summer. I also hope they invest in cart mounted GPS units.

At courses that have similar fees (PB Dye, Blue Mash, Worthington Manor etc) they do have the gps carts. If I am paying $80 I would expect that, maybe a club washing station, ball cleaners etc. The details were missing. I am fine paying $80 for the course, its in super condition and its fun BUT add those details for the paying customer and you got a true winner.

Am I going to come play again, absolutely. Oh the food and drinks were great!

I eat at The Grille at Challedon often. It’s always delicious, tasty food at affordable prices. Chef Jon and his team are creative and always preparing specials for eating inside, on the patio or Carryout

Booked a 740am Sunday tee time. Was placed with two other guys and we finished in under 4hours. Course was in very good shape. Will play again.

Great couse perfect maintained. Enjoy the day and will come back again. Travel from Virginia to play this beautiful course and I am glad that I did.

Course was great. A little hike from DC but for price and quality of the course, best place I've played this season!

For late fall golf (11/4) the conditions were fabulous. The greens were fast but true. The rough was not a jungle. The fairways were well maintained without bare spots. For having had two days of high winds just before, the amount of leaf litter was minimal.

I played the course twice last year. This is the only time this year. Even just two prior trips through helped my course management. There are a lots of changing grades, both along and across the fairways. They take some experience for a 20 HCP golfer. The Better golfers with also had some problems. Nonetheless the course was fair, particularly if you have a decent short game.

I haven't played this course in 12-15 years. It just hasn't been convenient to get there. There was a frost delay to day that we played so that pushed out 12:40 start time back to about 1:15. The round was a bit slow but understandable given the delay. I REALLY enjoyed the course today. It was in vary good condition and I loved the challenges and elevation changes. The greens ran medium with some challenging pin placements. I would definitely go back.
