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.

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.

Such a GREAT course!

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!

Great Value

The course is well maintained and lays out nicely. Not terribly difficult but also not the easiest course, it feels pretty fair. I like it more and more. They do need to figure out how to get hydration stations out on the course with the new normal.

Great Golf Course, Excellent Staff

Course was in great condition. Fairways and greens were maintained well. Layout is straightforward save for a few blind shots. Holes were played with raised cups but as long as you read it right, you'll be good. Best part of the experience was the customer service. They made you feel welcome and at home --- probably best customer service I experienced in the last 6 months. Would definitely come back and highly recommended!

Very nice track!

This was my first time to The Chimneys, but it won't be my last. The staff was friendly and the course was in good and getting better with each sunny day condition. The front nine is more challenging than the back, but is no slouch by any means. The greens were much larger than expected and pristine - they rolled true and had good, but not crazy, pace to them! Bunkers were full of sand and consistent to play from, if required. The course is not long, but requires a broad range of shot making. The practice area with grass tees is more for warm-up than practice in my opinion. They do have a nice looking practice green which was closed due to a treatment being applied this morning. The weather was excellent and it was a really enjoyable round of golf.
