Awesome Course!
First time playing Challedon on Sunday. The greens looked great and rolled consistently. The fairways were very nice considering how hot it has been, very few thin areas. The staff was very friendly for the entire time I was at the course. Will definitely be returning to Challedon in the future!
Welcome!!! Great to see all the new golfers finding us!
Please bring your friends!
Thanks
GM Dave
Beautiful! Glad you found us and enjoyed the Course!!
Please come back and bring your friends!
Thanks,
GM Dave
Terrible Conditons
Uncut fairways, horrible tee boxes, bumpy greens, diseased grass. All around the worst shape I've seen any course in all year. My group was in absolute shock to see how they've let the course go. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
Thanks Buster!

As an avid golf player and frequent player of the course I am flabbergasted by this review. Your “group” and you must be thinking of another course due to the fact The Links at Challedon is in no such condition complete opposite if I might add. I’m rattled by what has entered your tiny brain and I strongly suggest that you go think long and hard about that response. Honestly has it not barely rained over the past month with constant day in and day out 90 degree heat and they have people dragging around hoses to keep the course going. That called commitment and care for the course. Maybe you really should stop playing the game of golf and get a new hobby to do with your “group” -Buster B.
Wow, first time we’ve got this feedback.......all I can say is, come out and play, if you agree with this review, your round is on us......I played it today, is in great shape!
Not perfect everywhere, but see our reviews below!
We’re not perfect, but most everyone recognizes a well kept Course when they see one!!
GM Dave
Thanks for the Review!! Come back soon!

GREAT CONDITION
EXCELLENT CONDITION BEST SHAPE OF ANY GOLF COURSE PLAYED THIS YEAR.
GREAT STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Fabulous!
Really appreciate the kind words. The Team is working hard to give you the best golf experience we can!
Thanks
GM Dave.
Enjoyed Round but Covid Issue
The course is in great shape and staff are affable and helpful. One problem I noticed when returning my golf cart, was the lack of Clorox in the spray that is used to disinfect the golf carts. I asked an attendant why it was empty and he said, it’s been empty for days. That alarmed me. Safety should be the top priority.
Wow, really sorry, we're typically on this.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Please come back!
GM Dave
Good overall
Negatives. Too many blind shots. It is fine once you know the course but this being my first time I had to drive forward on a couple holes to see where I needed my T-shirt to go. Also the greens played very slow.
Positives. Almost everything else. The course was in really good condition and has a nice layout. I would be happy to play this course again.
Yea, we do get feedback that the few blind shots are disconcerting for the first time player, but on your second round and beyond, most golfers like the challenge!
The greens are being cut high intentionally........90+ degrees days and no rain can fry them if we’re not careful!
Thanks for the feedback. Hope you come back!
Your GM.
Thanks for the Review!! We agree, for the first timer, the blind shots can be frustrating, but most golfers like the feature once they play again.....come often!
As for the greens, need to keep them high right now; hot and dry Pal!!
Thanks!
Your GM
The good and bad
The Course was very nice I had a good experience. The pro shop was very difficult to deal with and not very friendly but I found the cart staff and restaurant staff to be very nice. The carts were some of the best and cleanest I’ve seen in all the courses I’ve played throughout Maryland
Drag! Hate to hear we’ve been difficult.
If you’re will to call us, I will make it right.
Thanks, please let us know how we can make it right??!!

Top notch course
The course is always in pristine condition! The staff is very customer friendly and willing to go the extra mile!
Great Place
Course is in great shape and the staff is great. This is one of the best kept secrets in MD golf!
Really appreciate your review and support! Please share the secret!
Thanks,
Your GM
Great family course!
This is our favorite course to play. The course is challenging yet fun for all ages. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this course.
Greens Fee Policy
I booked a tee time for 8 July for 3 friends and myself a week early. After booking I received an alert for my credit card that the course had charged me for all 4 green fees. One of my friends had a complimentary pass. I immediately called the shop and explained the situation. I was assured by the shop assistant that upon presentation of the pass, my credit card account would be credited for the complimentary round. When I checked in on 8 July, low and behold the shop would not credit my account but gave me a rain check instead......So, either the shop assistant lied to me when I initially called or he is not trained properly. Or it could be the individual that gave me the rain check is not trained properly. There was no manager available the entire day to discuss the situation with. Very disappointing...I can understand the policy of requiring a credit card to hold the tee time. I do not understand the policy of charging the card in advance and ten not crediting the account when presented with a complimentary pass..
Hats off to Challedon GM! He personally called me the day after my review and apologized for the misunderstanding regarding the complimentary pass. He refunded my greens fee and the check arrived today. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to me...By the way, your pro shop is stocked better than any pro shop in Frederick County (including the upscale courses)! We'll be back!
totally our mistake, very sorry!
We will try and contact you to make this right, and if you see this, please call the Shop and ask for Dave. you will receive full credit and more.
Sorry!
GM Dave
Tough Decision...Course vs. Customer Relations
I generally play Challedon 5-8 times a year. It's almost an hour drive, but most of the time worth it. Today was a surprise, and caught me off guard. First the good review: greens were in exceptional condition, fairways and bunkers were in good shape, and the course layout is a favorite. They keep this course typically in very good condition and manicured nicely. Now for the not so good review: tee boxes were the only parts of the general area I noticed needed a bit of work, the pace of play was slow (and I had to go back and talk to the guys behind us because they hit up on us twice...they backed off), and, like the other review, I was surprised when I got there and they didn't honor the Tee Time Pass. After discussing it with the guy behind the counter, he reluctantly gave me the Tee Time Book Rate, but warned it would no longer be honored in the future except for walk ons. The Mgr also told me that they would only honor walk ons through the end of July because their contract expired August 1st, which is not true according to Golf Pass which I called this afternoon. Challedon's tee sheet is packed and they have hiked up the price, so don't want to honor the cheaper rates. It's unfortunate, because it left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will patronize other courses who honor the Tee Time Pass and care about my business. I generally play 4 times a week, so I'm going to spend that money some place--it won't be at Challedon though. Unfortunate for both of us...
Sorry, but we just can’t afford to discount advance tee times anymore.
We continue to make the Course better as you noted, but with the COVID shut down, added expenses, we decided no advance booked tee times can be discounted.
We feel we offer a great value, and hope you reconsider.

Poor treatment
Played this course today. We had a tee time, and we all had either tee time golf pass or the digital version. They told us that they no longer will accept them for tee times, only for walk ons. They were very condescending about the matter, and begrudgingly gave us the rate advertised. I generally like this course, but after driving almost an hour to get there I don’t think I’ll be going back any time soon for that sort of treatment.
Sorry, just can’t afford discounting advanced bookings Pal.
Hope you’ll reconsider.

So very nice for a semi-private course
I've been playing Challedon for over 10 years -- I"ve never seen the course in better shape. The management team has worked very hard over the lst few years to bring the club back to life. The Links at Challedon offer a challenging course (for amateur golfers), a variety of holes, new golf carts, a friendly staff, clean facilities and a nice grill with good food and drink after your round. If you haven't played, give Challedon a chance, you'll like it.
Super kind words Mr Loden!!
Many thanks!!
Your Managing Partner.
Wow, great course
This course is in excellent conditions. I found that the greens are consistent through the entire course. Shop staff was very helpful, and the rounds were running smoothly even though the course was packed to the brim. Definitely coming back.
Great to hear! Really appreciate the kind words, and hope to see you back soon?!
Bring your friends and try our food!
Thanks!
Your GM
all around best deal
Golfing at Challedon is my go to course. From the many practice tee's to the putting greens. I find it easy to concentrate and enjoy myself at the same time. The staff is super accommodating, hustling to get anything needed to prepare you for a challenging round. Maintenance of the course is given the utmost of attention. At 9 or 18, getting a snack to ordering dinner for my family is alway easy and taste. Not sure if my favorite is the Chicken sandwich with dipping sauce or the bacon cheeseburger, eating in or carry out. It is also great being able to take the grand kids there as if we are playing putt putt, and then sitting out on the patio for drinks and food. As the many yearly events from Santa Claus visits to The Make A Wish fundraisers and Toys for Tots present drive. You will enjoy yourself every time.
Thanks so much! It's always good to get positive feedback and recognition......we're trying our best!
