Challedon style

The course is challenging and in excellent condition. Haven't played here in probably 5 years, so it was like playing a new course. The rough is cut long in spots, so on a couple of holes it was a bit of a challenge to find our balls. Greens are in very good shape. We will definitely play here again. It was a very enjoyable round.

Interesing Course

I like the layout of the course. There are long and short par 3's and long and short par 4's. It's a good mix. It's obvious that the hot summer has taken a toll on the grass, but the crew was out watering so they're doing what they can. I'd like to come back in the spring or early summer next year and give this course another try.

Most professional public course out there

I absolutely loved golfing this course. The staff was great..super friendly. The starter gave us all the key tips to the course. He even gave us an info booklets with great hints about how to approach each hole. Most challenging public course by design, yet open enough to not lose too many balls!!

Most certainly returning here.

Pace of play

Everything about this course is great EXCEPT for the pace of play. To me, I would rather play a course that's in worse condition then wait in line on every hole. I've played this course multiple times and each time I've had to wait in line for multiple groups to finish the hole. When it was finally our turn to tee off, there were 3 groups behind us watching.

I would not recommend this to a friend. The staff are overly friendly and the course conditions are above average for the GolfNow rate of $37 but none of that is worth going to this course considering the pace of play.

Greens and Traps...Not Good

Course has always had a nice routing and generally is in good shape. The greens today were horrible due to some work being done but the traps were even worse. Greens from front nine to back nine were like 2 different courses and EVERY trap was a different kind of sand/dirt. I hope they get it together and fix the conditions as you get closer to the holes. It's more important than having nice tee boxes.

Friendly staff

Had an enjoyable time playing 18 holes on a beautiful course. The only problem we encountered was some difficultty teeing up on two of the holes as the tees would not push into the ground .

Slow Pace of Play

Pace was very slow. Foursome in front of us was all over the place. At one point there were three groups on the par 5 behind us and we were on the box waiting, the foursome in front was less than 100 yards in front of the forward tees. Hole ahead of them was wide open. three groups waiting in addition to us. Marshall never moved them along ended up being a 5+ hour round! not good

Great day of golf, will be back

I was really surprised by this course, as I have played most of the courses in the area but had not heard of Challedon. The course was in excellent shape and despite a big rain storm the previous evening, drains well so only a few sand traps still had some water. The course rewards good shots on the green and is an excellent value. I will be back with my friends soon.

Friendly Staff, Nice Course

Nice course. Rolling hills. Not too hard, not too easy. Usually in good condition. Staff is very welcoming, not like most courses, where they act like customers are a burden.

Nice layout and scenery

This is my 2nd time here. Nice layout, and great to play a 4-hour round on a Sat morning! Greens coming back from aeration were still okay. Overall course conditions were only fair, especially tee boxes, sand traps, and some fairways. Surprising given the favorable weather year for this area. I'm glad I paid Golfnow fees - I would play again sometime.

Top of my list

First time out and loved it. Course is in great shape, and although it is within a housing development, these are mansions with at least 2 acre plots, so there is never that "fenced in" feel, no need to worry about errant shots hitting little kids. Some blind tee shots, as well as changes in elevation throughout. Great course, definitely will go back!

9/10

Only complaint was pace of play for first nine, partly because we were a twosome and partly because foursome in front of us actually was slow. It appeared that they got told to pick up the pace and then one dropped out after nine, so no problem then.

Greens and bunkers need work

I enjoyed the back nine, but the front nine has a few holes in which you are driving blind and there are no bells or anything to let the next group know you are out of range. The greens and bunkers needed some work.
