The Chimneys Golf Course

Course layout was good. Greens need some loving care. Would be nice to putt through bumps, small craters or pitch marks.

Overall a great course.. the greens where pretty beat up I wish people will fix the greens. A couple of areas of improvement is not enough water drinking stations and no ice ( you have 2 broken ice machines), in addition no food, just snacks.

This place use to have some one that cooked , I’ve been told they would start having a food truck but haven’t seen it. It might be just as easy to purchased a grill , tent and some fans on the weekends at least.

In the last month someone decided, to flip the holes; front 9 becomes back 9. I have been playing this course since it opened, and have observed years of steady improvement. This is really one of the finest public courses North of Atlanta. But then someone decided to screw things up!

I am a senior, and usually only play 9 holes at a time. What use to be the front 9 is decidedly more forgiving than the back 9. Management has always been inflexible on letting the customer decide if they wanted to play the front or back; you played the front. When I was younger and played 18 holes it was a mute issue. However, now you have taken the joy out of playing at the Chimneys.

If I can only play the “new” back nine I won’t be playing there anymore.

Tee times are always on time.

Course is in very good condition.

Hidden gem . Course layout is beautiful. Tee boxes are level, fairways a in great shape, greens are in really good shape considering the summer we've had. Very enjoyable day and will be back.

The course has a good layout and it was in good shape but it is expensive for what I expect. There is a small but functional pro shop but no restaurant or bar. Limited outdoor seating and limited beverages. There was no restrooms on the course ( sorry ladies) and no starter on the first tee. Maybe that was because the front and back were swapped and the clerk in the pro shop failed to mention that to us. Lastly, it was cheaper to pay the standard rate compared to the golf now rate. I recommend checking before you pay.

Fun little course, short from the tips at just over 6300 I believe. Considering how much rain had been in the area the last few days, the course was in pretty good shape. Like most courses nowadays since the pandemic, tons of pitch marks on the greens. And I get that we pull carts and shut the course down if rain is eminent, but a retail minded person would let me spend another 12 bucks on two tokens just to watch me bash balls in the drizzle after my round. Instead I got a ‘range is closed for the day’ from the young buck behind the counter… while three other people were out there hitting balls…

Staff were great. 5 hour round and greens were in bad shape. One and done with this course.

Enjoyed the round and the course exceeded expectations:

- cool/fun layout.

- short track

- greens sloooow

Best part, nobody there - I breezed through in 3 hours playing 2 balls per hole. I'll come back.

The course conditions from tee to green were tournament ready. The greens were a little beat up, but that's from lazy nonball mark repairs. What a gem if the players would repair ball markers. The course could host something great.

Had 2p tee time. Group ahead played 6 until splitting up on hole 4. Group knew nothing about etiquette. I finished 6:45pm. The group would not allow my group to pass. There is needs to be a Marshall evaluating pace if play

The course was in tremendous shape ! Hopefully will like the change in course layout changing the different nines…. Kinda used to the old way.

First time playing this course… Absolutely love it. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, It poses challenges but also afford you the opportunity to score if you put the ball in the right place. Only wish I lived closer so I could play it more often.

Excellent course!!! Great staff interactions. My only issue was 90 degree’s with no ice machine.

I've played Chimneys probably 100 times over the last 5-6 years. Always in good shape. Staff is friendly. One of my favorite courses.

However, switching the back and front nines is not a good idea. Completely disrupts the flow of the course and it's going to end up slowing down play. Previously, stopping at the club house during the turn was convenient. Now, you have to drive all the way around the clubhouse just to go to the restroom or get refreshments. Then turn back around to head to what is now the 10th tee. It just doesn't flow well. Also, when finishing on what was previously 18, it dumped you right into the parking lot. You could unload, take the cart back and be on your way. Now, it's just nowhere near as convenient.

I understand new management comes in and wants to put their stamp on the course. Do it with service and amenities. Not switching the 9s. This was a bad idea. It wasn't broken and did not need fixing. Put it back!!!
