Weeds, weeds, and ball stealers

Horrible fairways, tons of weeds, slightly off the fairway is basically no mans land...even with perfect drives I couldn't find my ball, not to mention when I knew where my ball was the two older "gentleman" who were wearing jeans and the other two who one was wearing all purple head to two, with his counterpart wearing all yellow head to two would literally take my ball...when I said um, I think that's mine they would just take it anyways lol. Course was super crowded, worst golf experience outing ever, not even worth the 15$ I paid.

In good shape for April golf

Overall, course is in pretty good condition. Greens are slow--it is April after all--but roll true. Many of the 'bunkers' are now 'waste bunkers' with no sand...kinda lame, but overall, good value for your money

Great deal!

Do you want to just get out on a Saturday and shoot 18 holes for a decent rate this is the place. Very friendly staff didn't feel rushed. The courses are hit or miss some of the fairways are a little rough but for a beginner like me I'm not going to argue and for the price I paid.

Chandler Park has been allowed to deteriorate

I've been playing Chandler Park for over 40 years and was severely disappointed in how poorly this course is being maintained. This decline has been very sudden in the past year. The sand traps have been allowed to grow in with weeds and grass, there were long grass clippings in the rough, the greens were long and slow, the cattails around the ponds had all been whacked down and left behind. The Friday evening golf league we played behind were extremely slow and lacked basic golf etiquette. On every green I was repairing a handful of ball marks. Find some where else to play and skip this course.

I totally agree. Vargo Golf has ruined this course. I was shocked to see how far it had fallen. They had some of the best greens around in years past, but no more.

Sorry, but just another dump! Get a new super! Deplorable!!!

At one time a nice course. Great history!! But now something is askew. The super must not know his job? Rouge is in great shape!! 2 years in a row went on Memorial weekend. MY GOD WHAT A DUMP!!!! This year on the Saturday before the weekend the grounds crew "took the day off"!!! Greens not cut, tee markers not moved, greens full of Maple tree pods! They obviously do NOT care!! Excuse of no money does not fly!! Vargo does Rouge also and what a GREAT course!! Chandler..........maybe time to give it up? Stay away and save the money!
P.S. On May 23 the bunkers had not been touched!! I mean not touched!!! Weeds 2 feet high!!! Laughable if not so sad:(((

Always fun, great atmoshere... There's a great camraderie around the clubhouse.
Rounds can be REALLY slow but that's just part of the reality of a course that gets this much play.

poorly maintained

The greens were still airated. The bunkers were full of weeds and the sand was like cement. They were cutting the greens between 9am and 12 on a Sunday. The fairways were all tore up. Worst course I ever played.

Great Time

I arrived first on the course before my tee time so I could play solo and at a quick pace. The downside to this was that I had to wait on a couple holes for the groundskeepers to replace the hole, and the mower to finish up on the green. Also, there were a few holes where the person replacing the holes showed up while I was putting and made a bunch of noise when I was trying to focus on my putt.

Great course to gain confidence

Straight and short front nine to get your round started out right. Back nine a little more challenging but still straight. Bunkers were more like hard mud pits and there wasn't much water. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition. There is no driving range but they do have a chipping area and nets to hit into. Large putting green if you get there early like I did. Don't be afraid to play in Detroit, secure parking and I never felt anything close to danger out on the course.

I took my Dad out, who hadn't played a full course yet. This was a nice time. The pace was perfect. The course is good for beginners to moderate players.

Nice enough, but apparently not safe

We arrived to see a car that had just gotten it's wheels and tires stolen while the owner played 18. Although it's a great course to practice on, it's not worth the risk with such weak security. It's not just about the parking lot -- if that can happen, anything else is also possible. Though it's close to my house, I won't be back. Sorry!
