About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6500 yards
Slope 127
Rating 71.4

The Chimneys Golf Course features 18 holes of exceptional golf. Our signature feature is the abundance of native rock found on-site, intricately hand-laid throughout the course to accent our greens, fairways, and pedestal tees. With strict attention to detail and no homes in sight, the course plays as a par 72, just shy of 6500 yards over five sets of tees to accommodate golfers of all abilities. Combined with southern, hometown charm, The Chimneys is an experience unlike any public course in north Georgia.

Love the course but

My son and I played this course for the first time earlier in the summer and enjoy the layout. A few tough holes but for the most part very nice for the average golfer. My only complaint, and not so much against the course (thus the good instead of an excellent rating), is that people are not repairing their ball marks. This can make putting very difficult and there were a lot of them that needed repairing. One green I had a ball kick right and another bounced up. It's hard to get a putt that you're not hitting over a old ball mark that hadn't been repaired. Maybe signs around the green to repair the ball marks (your's and another if you see one). The rest of the course is in great shape and the greens would be if people would repair their ball mark. Layout is very enjoyable also.

Course was on excellent shape considering we've had no rain in 5 weeks.

Some good fluffy lies.

Fantastic Course for the $

Definitely one of the best courses in the area, especially with the new layout. The staff does a great job with course maintenance. Greens were recently aerated, but there’s no way you could tell that unless they told you.

One of my favorites

I really enjoy playing here. They have flipped the 9s since last time I was there. My only complaints were they were stacked up and the greens were a little tall and therefore slow.

Nice course

Fun, nice looking course. Greens a bit slow, a couple were not in great shape, but overall good.

Only complaint: while the fairways were not really tight, much of the rough was deep bermuda. Errant shots disappeared, causing excessive time searching.

Do not make a reservation for One!

I made a reservation for one person. I wanted to play by myself to work on my game. Chimney's told me I had to play with three other players after I paid. They would not refund my money because I booked through Golfnow.

Had a great day of golf

The only reason I didn't put excellent under condition was the greens had been sanded. I am not sure if that was mentioned on Golfnow. It may have been. In a week or so that should be no problem. They have reversed the 1st tee and the 10th so it may have been a while since I played the course. The hole signs could be better if it was my first time I would have gotten lost for sure. There are not a lot of distance markers on the fairways. It would be nice to have 150 and 200 markers.

Nice course

When we were told at check-in that they aerated and sanded the greens the previous day. The course was in good shape but the greens were definitely a challenge. The layout is challenging - tee boxes and fairways were in great shape.

No warning

I booked about 5 days in advance. No warning of aeration.

Not only was it aerated but it was heavily sanded along with pellet fertilizer on the greens.

AND we had to wait on half the holes for the kid mowing the greens. He would finish the green then drive up to the next one So we were waiting around a lot. The lady at the desk told Golfnow when I complained to them that it was a cheaper price and there was nothing they would do.

I get to play once a week normally so it was a bummer to say the least.

Not happy in Winder ☹️
