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.

No notice of top-dressed greens

Driving 40 miles to play a course doesn't bother me... except when I get o the first green and discover that the greens have been top-dressed with sand and no one said a word about it - when making the tee time by phone or when checking in. We paid full price and got less than full value. This is a nice course - not overly challenging with the second nine being the easier of the two by far, but these type of business practices make me question whether I will return.

Easy course to shot some great scores

Staff is unfriendly. Mowing crew inconsiderate. Greens recently top dressed and nobody said anything and prices were the same.

Slow play

Stuck behind 4 slow groups took 1:15 to play thru 4 holes. Left on hole 5 - very disappointed. The course marshall must have been off today.

Unfortunately, The Chimneys eliminated the course Marshall and Starter positions. You basically have to wait until you pass the clubhouse to complain.

Great strategy to save a few free rounds of golf..

Great value

Kudo’s to the staff at chimneys. The course is always in very good condition. Played from the Tips and it was like an entirely different course on many holes. Will be in my regular rotation of courses for sure.

This is one of the best courses around!

This course is fantastic in just about every single way. The design is fun, the grass is very well taken care of, the greens roll true, and the tee boxes are in good shape. The staff is also very friendly, which is nice. I would recommend any golfer to play here, and I make it a point to play here at least once a week! Keep up the great work, Chimney’s.

Enjoyable course

Driver will get you in trouble on the front 9, so keep it in the fairway. The back 9 has some fun holes that you can go at with driver. The hills make the course more challenging and the scenery is outstanding. The greens were fast and fairways were in great shape. Definitely a course to come back to play when I’m in town.
