Course Highlights
The Chimney delivers consistently impressive conditions with plush fairways, well-manicured rough, and excellent greens that keep golfers returning. Exceptionally welcoming staff and a thoughtfully designed layout away from surrounding development make every round memorable.

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.

Picturesque and forgiving

Played on a weekday morning and the course was in great shape. The greens are quite challenging and the fairways are forgiving., though if you hit out of bounds consider it gone since those areas are not managed.. First time playing here and would definitely comeback. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. There was cart service the morning we played. The inly drawback was that the carts were not cleaned between rounds.

Great course

Fantastic course. Well kept, greens were solid. They were firm and the ball was traveling fast. But clean course, good shade with the heat. Pace of play was great for a 4th of July weekend.

This course has been on my list of courses to play for a bit now. Finally had a chance to play it and it was totally worth the drive. Course was in great condition from tees to greens. The layout was fun and provides a challenge that entices you towards your driver off the tees but often was happy with my choice to layup. The practice facility was above average. The clubhouse set up was straight forward with no frills. All said and done, this is a great course that will be put in my rotation.

Fun course

Chimney's staff is very friendly. They have a starter on weekends but no marshalls to keep the pace moving. The club house has limited food (cold snacks only) and beverages are not always cold. Cooler is good, but perhaps need to ensure it is well stocked before sat morning so they beer./beverages are cold.

The fairways are in great shape and the bunkers have plenty of sand to make them very playable.

Love this Course

I used to play here when the course first opened. Then I relocated, and only recently returned. The improvements to the course are impressive. The staff are wonderful!

Everything here is 1st class for a municipal course, and it surpasses a lot of private clubs in the area.

We have been having a heat wave of late with little or no rain. However the course is in beautiful condition. When the folks designed this course a lot of thought went into sourcing a water supply that was sustainable. They really succeeded.

Great round

Course layout was fun to play. Plenty of short par 4s to help the scoring. Condition was still great on a hot week going into summer

Round took 5 hours to play, but it was fully booked up. Would have been nice to help push a group a couple ahead of us on a hot day.

Fathers Day Outing

This course has really improved in the last 5 years. I have been playing it for the dozen years, and the new owners are really stepping up their game in grounds keeping, and clubhouse amenitiies. Todays round was a fathers day outing that we basically planned two days before so the price was a higher than normal but we didn't care. The weather was beautiful, the course was well cut, they even had a service cart out on the course, which was nice. Great day at great place to play.
