Be prepared to wait…and wait…

The core problem at Check Evans is that there is essentially no regulation over pace of play. They schedule tee times relatively close to each other and that is it. There is no ranger monitoring the pace. You will frequently see beginner groups taking incessantly long times looking for their ball etc. Waiting 10+ minutes on the Teebox on every hole is the norm here.

Course operator here. Thank you for coming back to Chick Evans over the past couple years. We appreciate you letting us know about your experience. We have 10-minute tee time gaps, and when see turn times at the 10th longer than is acceptable, we send our starter out to speed up play. We've been averaging 4-4.5 hour rounds on the weekends, but when you experience slower-than-acceptable play, please feel free to let us know directly at info.chickevans@forestpreservegolf.com, and we'll do something about it as it's happening.

Rainy Round

Nice course and layout. Pace was on the slow side because it was raining. River was overflowing due to the rain. Staff was very friendly.

Tuff course

I gave this course a high rating but I also I would not recommend this course to a friend. The reason is because this was a very hard course for me. Very narrow fairways and lots of hazards make this course especially difficult. If you do choose to play this course then bring lots of extra balls. On a brighter side the course is beautiful the landscape is great and I enjoyed the uniqueness of the bridges throughout the course.

Decent muni course close to downtown

Decent course, short, no sand. Play was dreadfully slow, partially due to being so short. Staff was very friendly.
