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.

Pleasantly Surprised

I have been wanting to play this course for a while. Finally got to play it and it is a great course. Fun track, lots of character, wonderful shape and always helps when you play fast. 3 hours exactly. I will be back to play it again.

Beautiful Track

This was my first time playing since living in winder and it will be the only place I play from here on out. Course was in immaculate condition. The track was short but challenging which made for a fun round. A couple of “reachable” par 4’s and some short par 5’s that make you choose to play it safe and lay up making the hole longer or try and carry some hazards. Overall just a lovely course in very very good condition.

Solid course, great pace. I played solo, got grouped with three others, went and tee’d off five minutes early so I could be alone and never caught the group in front me. No water but other than that pretty course, no complaints, will go back.

Great course

Tough course but I played ok for me. Fun holes, pretty solid layout and pretty course. No water is the only downside. Great pace of play. I got paired with 3 ppl, was playing solo, and I just teed off 5 mins before the tee time and never ran into anyone. I’ll definitely go back

Good, but....

Course layout is one that is always fun. Only issue is the greens are usually a little fluffy. Fairways and tees are fantastic, just don’t expect the greens to be quick.

Loved this course

Big hitters and low handicappers might not like this course, but I loved it. I rarely play anymore and this course fits me perfectly. It’s in great shape and I plan on playing many more rounds there. The layout is pretty cool

Perfect

If your looking for a course that is as nice as a PGA championship. This is it! The fairways were great as well as the greens. The rough was well just as good as the fairways but it is the rough so don’t play from over there. I will be back to play again soon. Highly recommend playing here.

I live 10 minutes from the course. I love to play a LOT of "different" courses (variety)....THIS is one of the MOST UNDERRATED courses in the area (and daresay, the state)....

So well-maintained ALL the time!
