Great condition and fast drying!

It has been very wet recently and I was really impressed with how dry the course was (with the exception of hole 11). Fairways and greens were in really great shape, and the course layout was a lot of fun. The pro shop were extremely helpful too. I walked the course and it's definitely on the longer side between tee boxes with some solid elevation gain and loss (my total round was 6.85 miles). Highly recommend this course and I will definitely come back when it's a little warmer.

Great winter shape

The course is playing as good as it can for winter conditions. Greens rolling true with pretty decent roll out. Pace of play was nice as there aren’t as many who brave the cold.

Great Layout

I have played this course many times over the years. Always a fun course. However, I was a little surprised with recent conditions. While other courses in the area are greening up and filling in, it seems Challedon is late to the game. The course was extremely dry and still very brown despite good weather.

Excellent greens

Rainy day and expected the greens to be soft and slow, but they were great. Some of the faster greens I have played this winter and pretty smooth. Course is a good value. Only complaint is too many uneven tee boxes.

Great Course

I was skeptical about playing golf 1/27/2024 because the weather in the week leading up provided 6 inches of snow and an inch of rain. By the time I got to the first fairway, you wouldn’t even know about all the precipitation. The course was in phenomenal condition (90% dry) after the weather and let alone being mid January. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens all looked like mid spring. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Major kudos to the grounds crew and superintendent!

Great Shape! Fun time.

Still in great shape in November! Caught a nice day and headed out for 18. Greens are firmer, but roll true and fast. Challenging layout. Great staff. Had a wonderful time.

Jonathan Loden Annual Golf Outing

The links at Challedon hosted our annual Jonathan B. Loden Golf Outing this year. This was the 16th year for this event and everything was perfect — great weather, 120 players, banquet food excellent and Challedon staff very helpful. Most important, the golf course in such nice condition. Prior to moving to NC, Challedon was my home course. Other than a few minor tee box problem, the fairways and greens are excellent — best I’ve seen in the 10 years playing this course.
So thankful for the Challedon team for making this event such a success. We’ll be back next year — we’ll be meeting with John soon to reserve the JBL date for 2024.
