It's a muni that gets a lot of play from South Bay residents. Greens have a watering problem. Appearently they overwater causing some greens to be bumpy from the activity. Big drainage problem from some of the really nasty smelling puddles they have there. Only advice is bring a 4x4 ball on some of these bumpier greens. Fairways in exceptional shape. Tee boxes some are not level but you can deal. Play was SLOW because of two junior groups ahead of us but after they quit after 9 it was clear sailing.

Played on Thursday, April 27th. Course was fairly wide open, but that is probably because they have just punched the greens and they are HEAVILY sanded. I am looking forward to playing in a few weeks when the greens are back in shape. Talked to a few of the older greenskeepers and they said about three weeks. An interesting course, with sand traps that actually come in to play, unlike some other city and county courses that have traps that don't seem to be placed too threateningly.

Played on April 19. I agree with the previous reviewer that the starter was slow in processing golfers. If you want to play under 5 hours tee off early. For a county course this is a nice course. The ... Continue »

Played on April 19. I agree with the previous reviewer that the starter was slow in processing golfers. If you want to play under 5 hours tee off early. For a county course this is a nice course. The course is in good shape with only a few bare spots in the rough. The course is an interesting layout and the moderately undulating greens provide a nice challenge.

Played on Sat. 4/8/05 and I might as well have thrown my $40 out a window. Have never experienced such slow and unorganized service. No starter at tee box to control the back up, the starter himself w... Continue »

Played on Sat. 4/8/05 and I might as well have thrown my $40 out a window. Have never experienced such slow and unorganized service. No starter at tee box to control the back up, the starter himself was slow and confused checking in people's tee times. I had a 12:58 tee time, arrived early, at 12:30, didn't tee off until 1:30 and finished my round at 7:00. They allow fivesomes, which I got stuck with, they overpack the course which makes your game a wait and rush form of play (wait at tee boxes for 10-15 minutes, rush your shots and putts to not hold anyone up.) The group I was playing with quit after 12 holes. Very disappointing since this is a fairly decent track, surprisingly. The fairways and tee boxes were in decent shape, green and lush, the greens were in better shape than expected and rolled faster than they appeared. I would love to play it again, but it makes me think twice with as slow and as full as this course gets, right up with there with Rancho Park as far as pace of play goes.

great course for a high handicap player. course in excellant shape,and the price is right.

Greens were recently aerated, in a couple of weeks they will be wonderful. They are pretty green right now. Overall the course is very lush and green. The sandtraps need to be worked on. With the rains, the sandtraps are not fluffy at all and at times pretty muddy. The female started is wonderful....pleasant and helpful.

Well it's spring again and I find it hard to come up with anything bad to say about Chester. Greens are in really great shape. They roll true and you can stick the ball. Played last week Friday and... Continue »

Well it's spring again and I find it hard to come up with anything bad to say about Chester. Greens are in really great shape. They roll true and you can stick the ball. Played last week Friday and was very impressed with the way the course is maintained. Greens in great shape. Tee boxes are flat and lush. Fairway is lush as well. No flooding to be seen. Overall the pace of play was quick. Great little course in the middle of the city. Definately a place to replay before the hacker messes it up. Hurry, don't delay! Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200, just run to Chester before the manage to mess up a good thing!

Playing from the forward tees.
3/6/06 the course was in pretty bad shape. Would not even give it a "fair" rating. The fairways are chewed up and there are many bare areas with no markings anywhere for ground under repair.

Some of the greens appear to be diseased and the greens are all at different speeds with ball marks everywhere.

I like the design of this course and it is too bad it isn't in better shape.

American Golf should be ashamed but they won't be.
