Chesterfield Golf Course

Great short course with challenging greens. Fast pace of play. Water stations and porta-potties around the course. Only negative is the cart GPS has no distances or even hole numbers. Most holes are short enough that you can already see what's in front of you, but distances to bunkers or the greens would be nice.

I brought my sons to First Tee Chesterfield on Father’s Day for our first visit after recently moving to the area. Unfortunately, we never even got the chance to play. This review isn’t about the course—it’s about the experience. My kids enjoy riding along, listening to music at a reasonable volume, and occasionally hitting a few shots while I play. They have done this many yones at many golf courses. Before we even teed off, a member of our group was extremely rude to me and my children, demanding we turn off our music and speaking disrespectfully from the start. The rest of the group left the tee box before we were able to hit a single shot. To their credit, the starter and pro shop staff were apologetic and professional. However, multiple staff members told me they were familiar with this individual’s behavior and essentially said, “that’s just how he is.” That’s not an acceptable response. What makes this especially disappointing is that the facility promotes itself as a Youth Development Center. If families and young golfers are treated this way, that mission isn’t being upheld. No parent should have to explain to their kids why they’re being treated poorly simply for showing up to enjoy a round of golf together. Because of this experience, I won’t be returning.

Out of all of the courses in the area, this is definitely a more "fun" course - it's shorter than most at a par 66, it has a lot of par 3's, and the par 4/5 holes are all on the short end. Overall its fun and I had a good time, some tricky greens though

Enjoyed this fun short course with good friends today. The course was in beautiful condition, even the sand traps. The staff was most helpful and friendly. We will certainly be back soon!

To say this course is a scam would be an understatement. This course is a “Youth Development” course and it plays only about 4600yds from the tips. $51 dollars for a tee time here is INSANE considering the deplorable conditions of this golf course. I am shocked I’ve played way better actual courses for $15 cheaper than this. Some areas of this course look it’s just been nuked and left alone. I’m not sure if they are attempting to renovate but it looks pretty horrible and it’s honestly one of the worst courses I’ve ever played in central VA as far as conditions go. There are so many bare areas including tee boxes and cart paths are pretty broken down as well. Considering the $51 tee time, no course amenities (no cart girl, no grill or “turn” snack bar etc..) and the laughable conditions, I won’t be returning here anytime soon. I hope they can get it together soon before all hope is lost. I’d be really impressed if they can somehow turn it around. I’m giving it two stars because the only good thing was staff friendliness.
