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.

One of my favs!

This course is always in great condition. It has a good mix of holes. Long and short par 3’s. Long par 4’s and couple of short ones that are possibly reachable off the tee. All the par 5’s are not easy to reach in two. I’ve only reached one of them in two and I’ve played here several times. The staff is friendly. Not many amenities as far as a bar or sit down eating area but what’s there is nice. I always look forward to getting back here. Definitely one to check out if you’re in the area!

Chimneys is a fun track

The course is in good condition. For a busy Sunday afternoon the pace of play was very good with no delays.

Crowded with a good pace of play

I've played this course several times, and this is the first time I've seen the parking lot over flow, and cars needed to park in the grass near the ball fields. The pace was not bad at all, we finished our round in 4 hours and 15 minutes on a Sunday mid afternoon. The 4 of us thought we were in for at least a 5 hour round.

First Time Playing

Very fun very playable

Hilly terrain, but hardly any blind shots. Room to miss a fairway and still find your ball. Good mix of hitting uphill and downhill into greens. All the par fours felt short, not complaining! You can hit driver on most of them, but never really NEED to. Greens have a lot of break, but not overkill at all. Just got sanded and punched but still rolled halfway decent. I will definitely be back later this spring.

I hate to write this review...

I’d rather this course stay somewhat hidden from the masses, but what a wonderful course. I’m not sure how many courses I’ve played in my lifetime, but this course ranks up there with the best of them. The little details on each and every hole make each one memorable. As a southern boy growing up in middle Georgia, I appreciated the old chimneys located around the course that brought back memories of my rural upbringing. The conditions of the course could not have been better for this time of year. The greens were in excellent shape and rolled perfectly. Pace was very good as I spent little time waiting. There are signs encouraging quick pace which I appreciate as I’ve played way to many 5 hour rounds lately.

I wish I live a little closer so that I could take advantage of becoming a member so that I could play more often. Even then, I’m still on the fence come spring time, I may go for it.

My only grip was that I wish that I had a sand canister to fill in some of my divots. They may have been available, but there wasn’t one on my cart.
