Course is in great condition!

Enjoyed a great round with perfect weather. The course is in great shape. Pace of play was great until the last 4-5 holes where we waited at least 5-10 minutes on each of those holes. Greens can be tricky if you are not below the hole.

Challenging

Course is definitely challenging especially for someone that shoots in the low 90's. Only complaint is the pace of play, we had a threesome let a slow foursome play through and both teams held up the front nine from the 6th hole to the 9th hole. Back nine was somewhat faster even though we caught up to the same foursome three holes ahead.

Too Slow. Waited on Every hole

They need to fix the tee times here. I've played twice in the past month and both times were 5 hour rounds. Log jam on the 4th hole which is a par 3. Three groups on the tee on #3 and it never improved. They let off too many twosomes on the weekends too and that's a problem. Make these twosomes pair up into foursomes and it would dramatically improve the ridiculously slow pace of play. Good course and in great shape, but I'm soured on the pace of play. They do not space out tee times well enough and I won't be back for a while until they figure it out.

Tough

Very thick rough in places, greens fast, esp. from above the hole. P.S. I"ll never understand how a single gets put out between a threesome and a foursome?

Good course and the weather was perfect. I think they could space the times a bit better. We waited a lot and the group of 3 behind us were constantly waiting for us. Took a little long. about 5 hours for 18 but it was a beautiful day and I'll definitely be back.

Nice course

While overall we like this course, there was a lot of standing water...drainage must not be great. Also many holes had clumps of grass/ dry grass not from divots.

Bunkers need attention

Chardon Lakes is an interesting course to play with some very challenging greens. #16-17-18 make for a very tough finish.

The course was in very good shape with the exception of the bunkers. Some had very little sand, some has a big pile of sand waiting to be spread out, some had enough sand play a shot, and some were simply marked "ground under repair" with grass growing in them. I don't remember them being like this last year. If they want to charge a higher price, they need to fix this problem.

Be aware that the driving range is up the road which means that you have to get tokens from the pro shop then drive back and forth to hit balls.

Value

Nice enough course, but substantially over-priced for overall conditions and amenities.
Wr played in the early afternoon on Friday and only saw two other groups on the course.
Management needs to reevaluate rates.
This is not a $45+ course.
You could easily sellout tee times at $30.00
And, I didn't see any price break for Seniors or Juniors.
Not a value.

Fairways and Greens are Great

I play this course 4 times a year. I saw some reviewers complain about the greens. Yes they are hard but fair. In fact the greens are what I like most about this course.

The layout is ho hum but course conditions are great right now. The only issue are the bunkers (some are being repaired) but most have very little sand.

With better bunkers I would rate this 5 star. However, wait for a G Now deal unless you are a senior.
