Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Overpriced
Like the course layout, but I believe it’s overpriced. You can play several other courses in the area with nicer amenities for less money.
No sand on the carts, so lots of divots in the fairways.
No ball washers.
No sandwiches or anything.
Slooooooooow play, and no ranger.
I repaired multiple divots on the greens also, but sadly, that seems to be the norm these days.
I’ve played here twice, but will skip it for the foreseeable future.
Great hidden gem
This course is right around the corner from me and I never knew about it! The course plays well, even in wet conditions and the staff were extremely nice. It’s a beautiful course no matter what conditions you play in. I would recommend this course to players of all levels and ages.
Beautiful Course!
This is the second time round for me and the first time to my friend. My friend mentioned this is the most beautiful course he has played so far including some private courses.
I believe this is one of the best public courses in metro Atlanta area. Great Job and Keep it up!
Enjoyable round
Very much enjoyed our round even when it was the dreaded, "cart path only". The course came through a week's long rain quite well. My only wish would be the greens would be a bit faster, they are on the slower side but still in great condition. Highly recommend the ride out to Winder for this gem.
Chinmeys
Great day for golf at the Chinmeys. The course is in great shape. The weather was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this course to any and all.
Best Course for the Money
I’ve played here a few times this season and the course has been in great shape every time. The greens had been punched in the last couple weeks so this round only cost about $30 with a cart. The greens still played well, and the overall experience was excellent as always.
great day and value
Though I've played here before, the recent rains made me wary of this days round. Pleasantly though, the course drained wonderfully and all but 2 of the greens were in wonderful shape despite recent aeration. The deal I got here was great and there was hardly anyone out due to the wet weather so we played 18 in 3 hours!
Great bang for the buck
Let me preface this by saying I've played here dozens of times and will continue to do so. That being said, the last 2 times I've played here, the ball marks on the greens has been ridiculous. I fixed probably 5 or 6 per hole yesterday as did other players in my foursome.
GOLFERS, PLEASE FIX YOUR BALL MARKS!
That aside, I love this course and it's a great value. It's always well maintained, has a good mix of challenging holes and some reachable par 4's. If you're a scratch golfer, it might not be for you, but for mid to high handicappers, you can't beat this course for layout, value and always great playing conditions.
Now if we could just train people to fix their ball marks.
Great Day
Playing at Winder Chimney made the Labor Day Holiday perfect. Everything exceeded expectations.
