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.

Beautiful

Course is in great shape considering how dry it’s been lately. Little tight on the front nine but thinned out on the back. Love this course if you keep it in the fairway lots of wedges to the green.

Summer time golf!

Course layout is fantastic, not too challenging from the gold tees. I hate to be that guy but they did just punch the greens with a light sand, no warning when I booked, greens rolled fine just slower and a bit straighter. You can work with it! It was a warm day mid week and the bev cart was making the rounds a lot which is needed on a warm day. Back nine got a little backed up on tee boxes waiting. Overall this course is beautiful and once the greens heal this is the best course in the Winder area!
