One of my Favorites

Course in pretty good shape especially for time of year. Layout is very playable and enjoyable with the greens seemingly getting faster and faster with each passing week. Had normal weekend congestion on the back nine but, still finished the round in just over 4 hours.

One of my favorite courses.

Chester is one of my favorite courses that I play within 70 miles of Columbia. The staff is always very friendly and the course is always in nice shape.
The only suggestion would be to group people when possible to eliminate so many singles and twosomes to speed up play. Pace of play was not bad but could be improved.

Wet but conditions good for all rain we received

Played day after heavy rains so cart path only —-played long from the tips with little to no roll. All bunkers had water in them but course was playable despite rains we have gotten. Several run up areas to green were ground under repair and greens themselves are slow (again due to rain). Approach shots stuck and did not roll out there as well.

All and all, a nice course to play and very generous landing areas off tee.

Nice round

The course is a little hike if you live in Charlotte, but it's worth the drive. There's no housing community to worry about, and if you go early in the day like I do it's very quiet and peaceful. Most of the time the starter will let you go out early if it isn't too busy, which is nice.

The greens are getting better. They're not perfect, but good. The fairways are in great conditions, but some of the t-boxes could use some work.

Overall the course is good and a great value for your money.
