If u like tiny narrow greens

No driving range just a net ! Friendly enough people but not worth the drive or value for the money . Seems all the greens are 10 paces across and 30 and long , kinda annoying, bunkers not in good shape . Tee boxes badly beat up . Don’t understand the the 4 star rating and the only reason I booked it . Won’t return

Chestnut Mountain is a great place to play

I had a wonderful experience for my first time playing Chestnut Mountain. The service was exceptional and the course was in great condition. It is a fun layout to play that also makes you think throughout your round. I definitely recommend playing here when you can.

Rainy Golf Day

Greens were in great conditions despite rain before and some during the round. The course was not just on this Sunday afternoon. I was pleased with the variety of hole layouts, Mountain View’s, greens, and quality cart. It’s a little confusing going to the back 9, as you cross the main road 2 times and the signage is not super clear. Fun course and one of my favorites in the area. Great food as well!

Great Shape Now, Need A Few More Tweaks

This course is in fantastic shape now compared to what it used to be before the new owner group took over. The only issues I saw is that the greens are really slow but in really good shape. The greens are tiny which makes it a challenging course especially with all the hills and undulations on the greens. There are also two holes on the back that have greens that are hidden by a gully of heavy tall brush. I think those holes are 12 and 13. I would clean those gulleys out to give golfers a clear view into those greens. They also give you a cheat sheet on where to hit the ball on certain holes to stay out of trouble, I loved that. Overall a fun course to play now. Follow the cheat sheet, it really helps. Keep in mind too that the greens are slow when you play. So give your putts some extra umph to get the ball to the hole.

A Defenite Must

Super friendly staff, even giving you a "suggestions/recommendations" card for each hole, if you've never played the course before, like me. Course is beautiful with the mountains in the background. Nice wide open fairways, and narrow manicured greens, giving a nice balance for an average golfer.

Chestnut Mountain

I enjoyed the course immensely. While challenging, I found the course provided just the enough amount of challenges. As this was my first time on the course, the staff and many of the players were very helpful with good advice and tips on playing the course. I would highly l recommend the course. Nigel

Love the course and love the staff. I am here with my friends once or twice a week. Only complain I may have as I wish that the traps were kept in better condition overall A+.

Challenging Course in Good Condition

This is a somewhat challenging course. Very hilly as one might expect for a mountain course. A lot of uneven lies due to the terrain. Rough around greens was very fluffy. This is not a bump and run course. Fairways and greens in very good condition. Overall, a good experience.

Great Mountain Course

The course is in a gated community, but is easy to find via GPS. The parking lot is a bit small, but we did not have trouble finding a spot and you can take the carts into the lot for easy loading/unloading. There is a large putting green, but no driving range. It does look like they are adding some nets for warming up, but they were not complete when we were there. The pro shop is around and below the pool (in case you are wondering!), and the staff was very friendly and polite. You can tell they are proud of the course. The golf carts, with GPS, are probably the nicest of any course I have played in the area, and that's a good thing because you should take a cart. The course has a lot of elevation changes and some long runs between greens and tee boxes. The tee boxes were mostly in good shape, although some of them were hard to stick in your tee. The fairways were typical for this time of year - some patchy thick grass over dormant thinner grass, but very playable. The greens were slow... very slow actually, but held approach shots well - I am not sure they will do that later in the season! Overall, a very nice course with a wide variety of hole designs, slanted fairways, elevation changes and water hazards. Definitely not a bust-and-pray course, especially on the front nine. Use the GPS to help you pick your clubs and you can shoot a good score here. The elevation changes will definitely test your club selection, and there are plenty of hazards around to snap up errant golf balls, so bring a few extra. That is probably why the pace of play is uneven - golfers in trouble are slower than those who can stay in the fairway. This is a course that is a good value and fun to play. The scenery is really nice from some holes and there is wildlife around if you keep your eyes open. Pay attention on the directions from #9 to #10 and from #14 to #15 - there are some markers, but they could probably make it a bit more obvious where to go. We will definitely play again, hopefully later in the season when everything is green.

Greens weren’t great, but it helped my play

Course staff is awesome, starter actually got us out early ahead of some inclement weather. Love the routing of this course, recommend it a lot. Greens were a little hairy, but even with that in mind they were pretty fast and it definitely saved a few putts for me. Staff working the turn acted like it was an inconvenience that we were ordering food and one of our group ordered the daily special posted by the window and the worker just told them no with no explanation and told them to order something else.

Worth the drive

Nice course. Playable but challenging enough to still make you work for birdie. Carts are new with accurate GPS monitors, but the cart paths could use some work.

GREAT conditions for winter golf, greens, fairways, and tee boxes all in good shape.

Hard to book

Great course, very challenging. We booked thru golf now, hot deals. John in the clubhouse was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the course. He made checking in very easy. I will play this course, soon. There's always a waiting time, it's so popular.
