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.

Still in Great Shape

Tee to Green is in pristine shape. Great deal for $40.

The greens were true but they were about as slow any I’ve ever played. That’s normally not the case.

Amazing Conditions, but Slow Greens

This was only the second time I have played The Chimneys. Last time I played was several years ago and I don’t remember the course conditions being so nice as they were today. The Tees, fairways and rough are in fantastic condition. I have played MANY, MANY more upscale, high dollar courses which did not have tee boxes, fairways and rough as nice. The quality of the conditions and the variety of holes make this a great value ($34).

The only drawback for me is that the greens were extremely slow. It looked as if the greens had not been cut in several days. They were shaggy and very slow. Other than the speed of the greens, I would say this is a fun, and awesome course to play with lots of variety. I would play much more often if I lived closer.

The stone work around the course, especially on the front nine, is beautiful. Lots of large rocks and stone work that make the hole layouts very pretty and appealing.

I highly recommend playing here.

Good day, good round & good course

Tees, fairways & greens in great shape. One of our favorite courses. You’ll not be disappointed. Would play more often if more deals were available. Suggest a foursome rate to attract more groups. Is #16 yardage for white & green tees accurate? Quite a bit of difference in the two tees.

FYI, our foursome of 60+ year olds play white tees except #’s 5, 6, & 12

Fun times! Worth the drive!

I really enjoyed my round today at The Chimney’s! Although it was a 40 minute drive, I was greeted by the very friendly staff and grounds crew as well as a well kept course with great scenery! The greens were slow but in great condition. Easier layout but fun to play! I will be back!! Thanks!
