Chatuge Shores Golf Course Review

I have been playing golf for 50+ years. During that time, my handicap has ranged from 4 to 18 as of today. I have played all over the United Srates and even overseas in multiple countries. Of all the golf courses i’ve played I can’t think of one other course that was in worst condition as Chatuge Shores. EVERY green had damage that you were expected to putt through. Greens were running about a 6 or 7 because they hadn’t been mowed. The sad part is much this could be resolved with regular aeration and top dressing a couple of times a year. It was also take someone weeding the greens to get the clumps of broad leaf grass out of the greens. Obviously ether they have no superintendent or the just don’t care.

There is so much elevation on the front to where it’s not going to be fun for anyone not looking for a decent challenge. I feel that chatuge shores is not quite at the course quality to...

There's so much I love about this place! First it reminds me of a course I used to play with my Dad all the time.. Back in Iowa! 🤎 The yard markings are obvious and there are generally two indicators for every yardage. The course has challenges however very doable and fun 💫 The scenery is fantastic, mountain views⛰️ to lake views and streams. The trees are spectacular🌲 colorful shrubs, birds, small game 🐿️ and snappers. They are working on several areas but I see effort. Only suggestion is the hole 16 plaque at the Y should be moved several feet down the left side of the path or add another sign indicating 16 is to the left All in all a...
