Links at Challedon

First time playing Challedon. Loved the course and plan on returning.

I booked and paid for my tee time through the Golf Now app. When I got to the club shop for my tee time, the starter claimed that I had not paid. I tried to insist that I had and even showed him my payment confirmation email. He arrogantly just dismissed that and told me that my Golf Now booking was only a reservation. My playing partner was with me and I didn't want to further escalate an awkward situation so I just paid again. Once I looked up my credit card statement online after the round I did in fact see two payments for my round. I eventually received a refund for the second payment but all in all it was a pretty awkward experience.

The course was in a great condition and the round was enjoyable, but it was tainted by my experience with that staff member.

This is the first time I'm playing this year. It has been about a year since I was last here. There seemed to be a lot of Poa annua in the tee boxes. It's early in the season so I'll see if they get that under control. I still like this course.

I commuted an hour from DC with a friend and it was great. This course discounts the green fee when it’s aerated, something all courses should do. They did not make me pay for an extra cart (brought a guest along) like I thought they would, and even if they had it would have only been 10 bucks. A few of the holes were spectacular, others were a little patchy in areas. I bet in the summer with nicer greens it is a hidden gem. Greens were quick but THE COURSE WAS INCREDIBLY FIRM. Was a nice switch and took some adjusting and getting used to. Was pretty cool all in all, may visit again next time they aerate. Shot 84 as a single digit handicap, and was proud of it considering what I’ve told you.

This is probably my 20th time playing the Links at Challedon, love it every time.

I played this course in March and thought the conditions were like asphalt. With all the rain you would think it would be more forgiving. There’s a lot of elevations and blind t-shots and the ball just runs forever. Greens were also very hard and can’t imagine during the summer during dry spells.

I have played this course many times over the years. Always a fun course. However, I was a little surprised with recent conditions. While other courses in the area are greening up and filling in, it seems Challedon is late to the game. The course was extremely dry and still very brown despite good weather.

Have enjoyed playing this course over the years. Can’t say enough about how well it was manicured around the greens and they had to be rolling close to an 11…wow fantastic!! As a plus handicap the course is not overly long or overly challenging. However, this is one of the very few courses that I use every club in the bag. It is definitely not a driver then wedge kinda place. The staff is super friendly and the after round bar scene is fantastic with more friendly staff and some pretty good food…I def recommend the Crab Dip. Got a great GolfNow rate and I would recommend this course to anyone.
