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.

It’s okay

This is generally a great track. But the prices for winter golf is way too much, in addition this course has no food. They have been saying for awhile they’re getting a food truck but nothing has yet to happen.

Good golf day w/ warm weather in March

Course in good shape, one of my favorites when I can get a deal. Tee boxes do need some work, grass thin. Maybe overseed.

I play this course 2 or 3 times a month year round. It is always in good shape they are always improving the grounds. Only problem I have is the greens are slow in the warmer weather and in the past 6 months there have been a few rounds that are SLOW. Today was one of those rounds. We skipped 3 holes and played in 3 hours and 40 minutes. I usually play with someone else and we have had to wait an average of 5 minutes per hole just to tee off. That’s not enjoyable but it does not happen too often.

Decent and worth the money

This course was well worth it, though the greens and fairways could use some work, the layout and overall quality of the course was great. I’d love to play in the summer when it would likely be in better condition. Greens were decent, fairways had tons of large divots everywhere. No grill on the course was disappointing, but the driving range was nice. We played late afternoon, and it was a terrible pace, waiting up to 15-25 mins per hole

Great Course

What a fun course! Nice clubhouse, friendly staff and convenient practice amenities provide a great welcome to this hidden gem. The track is fantastic and well-maintained.

Not the easiest course to score low, but who doesn’t like a little challenge? I’m looking forward to returning during the growing season.

Always a fun course to play

My group always enjoys playing The Chimneys. It’s a fun course, not too challenging and always in good condition. My only negative is that there’s no pub or restaurant on site, only vending drinks and snacks.

Great staff and really nice layout. Wish they had kept the fairways a little longer for the winter. Tight lies can be tough on some of us higher handicappers. Greens in really nice shape.

Great time on a friday

Got matched up with two other singles and played in an easy four hours. Staff is all friendly. Love the course layout and lots of elevation changes. Greens are quick but not unfair, totally manageable and roll very true. Bunkers are in good condition. Pure golf with no houses around. Tees set up for all skill levels, tips are manageable for most mid handicaps
