The layout is interesting but for me two factors detracted from enjoying this course. First, many of the holes have side-sloping fairways and therefore even a well-hit drive can end up in the rough or worse. Second, the grass is very tough(kikuyu?) and catches the club-head if the ball is not struck PERFECTLY. Related to this is the thick rough which tends to swallow up the ball and makes it difficult(and time-consuming) to find. Too bad, because this course is designed quite well and the fees are reasonable.

Played over Spring Break with my buddy Robert… actually the second course in our golf marathon. This golf course is a hidden gem. I had played this course many years ago and still receive emails from them. The course was in great shape. The fairways, bunkers, and green were awesome. The layout of the holes plus the scenery was beautiful. We had a 2:00pm tee which made our green fees plus cart equal $ 37/person. Overall, the place is wonderful. We are definitely going back. The only negative which was HUGE was the«JERKOFF» cashier/attendant in the club house. This guy needs customer service classes. When we walked in, the guy says«you guy wanna play?» DUH… that’s why we’re at the golf course… Then he proceeds to tell us that the high school team is on the number one tee box and that they’re «really good» so we wouldn’t be able to catch up to them. And he asks why we want to play so fast? Obviously, he doesn’t know what Ready Golf is. At the end of the round, Robert and I both shot 79; we past the high school team after hole number 3, and had a great day… regardless of the that«Jerk-off»

A tough course with no easy shots. Most of the time you are hitting up a hill, down a hill, on the side of a hill, behind a tree, or in the rough. Lots of deer hang out here, and the course is very scenic and pastoral. Par 3 greens are tough to master. Very nice friendly staff.

Not a 4 star course but a four star value. Fun layout in nice shape. Greens usually in good shape for a muni course. Sign up for their eclub for great deals all year.

Such a cool place to golf. The fairways are a little worn & beaten up sure, but all the greens are in superb shape! You have a variety of lies to play & challenging par 5’s & some tricky par 3’s. very challenging golf. Not to mention the price to play 18 holes with a cart & club rental is under 50 $ — a great deal. They have a great driving range which allows you to hit from the grass. They also have a great putting & chipping areas… Real great staff also, so nice & accommodating. I will be back for sure next time I’m in town!

A great course. Maybe not a world class course. Or a place you would go for the perfect greens and fairway, but a very fun place to play. The course is nice and difficult at some times and easy at others. All and all, good price, fun atmosphere and a central coast classic course. They treated us great as juniors for years and now at 26, still a fun place to play. Great natural beauty too.

I played chalk mountain a lot as a starving Cal Poly student in the early 2000s; had a few golfing buddies and with the student deals($ 15 to walk), Chalk was a part of our regular rotation with Dairy Creek and Morro Bay. So last time we got together in Paso decided to relive our glory days and head to Atascadero again. Sadly, this course is just not what I remembered. First off, the weekend rate is now $ 39/person with $ 17/person cart fee(we’re not in as good of shape as we used to be) for old as heck carts that literally struggle to make 3mph. Yesterday I paid $ 14 bucks for a GPS-equipped cart at a much nicer course! Secondly, the course is just not in very good shape anymore. A lot of the holes are gimmicks(on number 1 you have to hit a huge left to right drive to have any hope of holding the sharply sloping fairway and then there’s a grove of trees in the middle of the fairway blocking your approach). I always feel the Bay Area is super expensive for golf, but I can play Golf-Digest rated courses in the Bay for less than Chalk. I still have lots of great memories of Chalk, but next time we’re in the area we’ll go back to Dairly Creek or Morro Bay and get a whole lot more bang for our buck.

Pretty much your standard municipal course. $ 13 for a 9-hole twilight is a steal nowadays. Facilities are small and outdated. Course is fairly well maintained, challenging enough for a single-digit handicapper, yet manageable for your weekend duffer(me). I’d say the signature hole is #13, in which your approach shot will be the equivalent of trying to hit a golf ball up to the top of the Sears Tower. Also, beware… if you play the back nine late in the day with the sun low, expect to have a lot of tee shots disappear into the sun… my last tee shot on #13 is still out there somewhere!
