"Great course"
First time playing here --- very impressed with the greens as the Sunday Ultra-Dwarf Bermudagrass is as advertised! Very smooth and they roll true. A good variety of holes and good risk/reward shots as well. Hard to get into too much trouble here. Enjoyed it very...
Just wondering why Chester Golf Club is not one of the courses listed on this site. I organize a golf trip every year to South Carolina and we play a couple rounds in the Charlotte area on the way through. This site has helped me pick some great courses for our group (Verdict Ridge, Springfield, Edgewater, Tega Cay…) and was just wondering if Chester Golf Club is worth playing. We are going to try Tillery Tradition and then would like something on the South side for the next day. Any information would be appreciated regarding Chester Golf Club.
Chester is owned by the same group that runs Springfield, Fort Mill, and Lancaster. I play Springfield and Fort Mill frequently as they are close by for me. I have never played Lancaster or Chester, but have heard from folks on the other two courses that Lancaster is a better track. It seems your list in the south is pretty solid (Edgewater, Springfield). And if you are looking east, I highly suggest you work Red Bridge into the rotation. Not too far from Tillery.
I think your question about Chester Golf Club can only be answered by the B-Man. As a member of this site I can only speculate as to why the course is not on here. If you look at courses like Fox Den and Tillery Tradition, they appear to be a fair distance outside the Charlotte area yet they are on the list. I am going to assume, and from also having played these courses, that the courses are usually in great condition making them worth mentioning and worth the extra driving to play them. The fact that Chester Golf Club is not on the list (to me) means that there is nothing special about this course. It’s probably just your average golf course. This is just my opinion though. It seems that you are trying to play different courses each time you come through. I would have to agree with Wulfpack that! Red Bridge would be a good choice and also Lancaster. Lancaster was in awesome condition the last time I played it.
Bman reached out to me a while back and told me he doesn’t list courses he hasn’t played ( correct me if I am wrong Bman). This way he can give an accurate review
Hey everyone — I’m happy to add Chester to the list. As slowmofo mentioned, I typically don’t add courses if I haven’t played them but I will make exceptions due to popular demand. If folks want to be able to review and comment on Chester, I can add it.
The “Charlotte area” is indeed a broad one but I try to cover all the courses that are within an hour’s drive of the city that are worth playing.
Thanks for the response. Your site has helped me pick out some great Courses for the annual trip. We try and play two different courses every year on the way through. I wish there were more sites like this for other cities. Thanks for doing what you do!
At the request of a recent reviewer, I’ve added Chester Golf Club to the site — which is the 4th of the Leroy Springs & Co. courses listed here, rounding out the group. You can now post your reviews for Chester directly.
We found Chester Golf Course enjoyable to play and look forward to playing it again next month when we come down from Canada. Staff were very polite and helpful.I highly recommend it along with all the other Leroy Springs courses.I hope they have resolved the GPS glitch we ran into last year driving in from Rock Hill. GPS put us in a neighbors driveway on the other side of the course on some where on Old Richburg Rd.
Cheers
