The Chimneys Golf Course

I have had my eyes on The Chimneys for a while and finally got out there. The pace of play was very solid and the first few holes are quite appealing. As you get deeper into the course you realize it is a little strange to play a course with so few par 3's and 5's......most of the course is par 4's. A few of the greens are driveable which is interesting and definitely gives you a chance to score (even players who are typically in the 225 range off the tee will have a shot to score reasonably here). At times the course was a little confusing to find your way around. Ran into the sprinklers on a couple of greens which was mildly irritating as I would have hoped they ran them prior to golfers getting on the course for the day. The course was in very good shape and the greens rolled quite true and the speed was actually very solid and bordering on the faster side of things.

Overall it was a nice and I will very likely be back there. Do I think it is worth $50......probably......would I continue to pay $50 to play the course.....most likely not. I could see the course becoming a bit boring if you were to play it multiple times in a year.

Played here in the build up to Maters week, what a great experience.

Will start with the staff, massive thank you for making us feel welcome, coming from Scotland the staff took an interest in what golf is like over here. Made us feel very welcome and had a good seat out enjoying the heat after the round with a few drinks, much appreciated.

The course itself is fun, lots of risk/reward holes, but it is very fair, can easily get round without too much trouble. Greens were rolling great, nice pace on them and very true.

Pace of play was great, got round here really quickly.

My only regret was not getting some food at the food truck! Maybe next time.

If your in the area, get along, you will have a great day.

I haven’t played a better course in the Winder area. The course provides some challenge without making it miserable for us less experienced golfers. Greens weren’t in the best shape, but overall the course was very good. For the money it’s hard to beat.

Like a salad this course has mixed greens. Greens were in good shape but speed was inconsistent which made putting very challenging. Love the layout. Very picturesque.

This is a great course that requires some well placed shots to make a good score. The greens are always in good shape but will be slower later in the summer as it heats up.

While it is early in the season the course is just not in good enough condition to warrant what the new management has increased the prices to. I have been playing here for 4-5 years and have noticed a decrease in course quality with a significant increase in price. Too many better local options for the money to go back.

This course is off the beaten path, but enjoyable and a good value. Range was nice but hit off matts. The front nine is excellent and tough with interesting rock face bunkers and tees. The back nine is quite a bit shorter and less interesting. I personally would reverse the nines. It would speed up play and the course would finish stronger. Round time was 4 1/2 hours, 2:20 on the front and we waited on almost every shot on the front nine, and on every tee. There is a lot of elevation change on this course, so don’t be afraid to move up a tee, again especially the front 9. Fairways and bunkers were excellent, greens were still recovering from spring aeration and holes affected putting. Greens were a nice speed 9+ on the stimp. Amenities are simple with only snacks and drinks in the clubhouse. There was a food truck near the turn, where the food was good. Fun course and would play again.

Beautiful course. Challenging yet fair. Need to have precise shots. Really enjoyed it

Beautiful course. Especially for the money. I always love playing here
