Elderly lady inside the pro shop was extremely rude the second we walked in the door. She seemed very agitated that we were at her golf course to play golf. It’s a last resort these days.

1st time playing Chestnut, very challenging, hilly and need to be able to place drives in the correct area of the fairway to reach and place shots on the green. Love the challenge and test of all golf skills!

Keep it in the short grass

Had a blast as first out, playing solo and zipping through the course getting a good rhythm. Would have been phenomenal if I could have made more putts but enough looks at birdie or par to keep me coming back. First round post Helene and felt good to knock the rust off strong.

Keep it in the short grass as the rough could definitely use a mow and blow as the leaves are coming down. Greens were in good condition and quick, even with morning condensation.

Chestnut Still A Good Value

Chestnut is a good layout with variety of hole designs; greens were just plugged and sanded so advisory; fairways in very good shape; Hot Deals always a good bargain!

Chestnut Gem

Course has recovered well from Helene’s carnage; greens firm and fast; fairways and bunkers mostly in great shape; scenery around the course remains lovely; after-round pub a good place to relax!

Nice challenging mountain course.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Greens and fairways in excellent shape. Cart paths could use a little improvement but not bad. A challenging course that makes you use strategy rather than brute force. Great Mountain View’s. No GPS on carts.

Very narrow greens

The course layout is awesome and the fairways and greens are nice. Some of the tee boxes and a lot of the bunkers need work. I have never played a course where most of the greens are very narrow. Your greens in regulation percentage will go down. The staff at the restaurant are top notch and friendly.

Fun course

Course is fun to play. Helps having knowledge of where and what to hit on certain holes. Greens are all kidney shaped so lots of short sides chips if you missed. Pins were all placed on slopes so very tricky to putt. Cart paths and tee boxes need some work but other than that course was in great shape.

Nice Track in Progress

No course layout on scorecards or on Hole signage so as someone playing the course for the first time, there were quite a few blind holes. Navigating the course was unclear at times just due to lack of signs from hole to hole as well.

Seems like they are renovating the bunkers little by little as only a few holes had sand. The majority of them were grass which made for some tough lies.

Fairways and greens in great condition. Staff was all very friendly and food was solid. Pace of play was great. Not crowded at all for a Sunday. Place has potential as they continue to renovate.

It could be SO much better

This course has SO much potential, but the conditions, especially on the front 9 are not very good at all. Very little to no grass on the tee boxes. Ling weeds in the fairways. I will say for the most part the greens are in good shape.

Conditions on the back improve and there are some interesting holes.

The setting for the course is beautiful, I just wish a little more went into the conditions (including the carts paths- they are teeth rattlers!).

Slow day at Chestnut Mountain

Two foursomes held up the entire course … all day. All eight of them should have been in a bar somewhere. Played the last hole as an 8-some. They were so loud we thought we were playing at the Waste Management tournament. They were at the Wasted Duffers tournament. They were waisting everyone’s time interacting with one another. The round took 5 hours and 20 minutes to complete. Course was in great shape, staff was great. Heard several people in front of us stating that the senior rate should be lowered from 65 to 60 or even 55.
