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.

Fantastic

Chimneys Golf Course in Winder, Georgia, truly delivered an amazing golf experience. From the moment we teed off, it was clear the course is meticulously cared for. The fairways were simply superb – lush, well-manicured, and provided perfect lies, making every shot feel like a pro. The tee boxes were equally impressive, consistently in great condition and level, a testament to the club's attention to detail.

While some courses boast lightning-fast greens, Chimneys offered something different and equally enjoyable: slow-running, good-looking greens. They were true and rolled consistently, allowing for confident putts and a strategic approach to every hole. The slower pace also highlighted the subtle breaks and undulations, adding an extra layer of challenge and thought to each stroke.

The picturesque setting, with its natural rockwork and mature trees, only enhanced the round. The staff was incredibly friendly, contributing to a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. This course is a hidden gem that offers a fantastic blend of playability and beauty. I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Chimneys Golf Course and will absolutely be playing here again soon. Highly recommended for any golfer looking for a well-maintained and enjoyable outing!

Fun Course, aerated greens

Had a great time playing the course. Caught a hot deal due to aerated greens and had great pace of play until the back 9. 3-4 foursomes at hole 12 bottlenecking the course

Fun Course, Great Conditions

Greens installed a year ago are rolling great. Great quality for affordable public golf. Firm but not too firm, not slow, fairly fast. The course would be much tougher if green speeds were dialed up to have approaches impacted more by green contours.

Get your scoring in over the first 6 holes. The course starts very short and easy. Gets much tougher and more interesting as it goes. LOVE the back 9; scenic and well designed holes.

Best course within 30 minutes

If this course was a little closer to downtown Monroe, I would play here a lot more. It’s my favorite local course.

Good course for seniors

The course is very well maintained and the staff is very friendly. The course drains well after rain and is not too hilly for seniors. Pace of play is a concern at times and is not routinely enforced with a ranger. Tournaments are definitely slow and there are.generally no sterile tee times after touraments to help Pace. All in all a very good public course.

Great course in great condition

I took a quick leave to the Chimneys on Monday afternoon. The course was in great shape, greens, fairways, bunkers, back tees no complaints. The two first holes are a bit of an unusually short starting holes for a course, but after that it gets normal. The arrival service at the clubhouse was excellent as well. I played alone, which I usually do not prefer. It was 2h30min with no traffic in front, so was happy to be back home almost 2 hours before I anticipated.
