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.

Great course in great condition

I took a quick leave to the Chimneys on Monday afternoon. The course was in great shape, greens, fairways, bunkers, back tees no complaints. The two first holes are a bit of an unusually short starting holes for a course, but after that it gets normal. The arrival service at the clubhouse was excellent as well. I played alone, which I usually do not prefer. It was 2h30min with no traffic in front, so was happy to be back home almost 2 hours before I anticipated.

Great value

Course was in pristine condition except for the bunkers as it rained the night before. When booked as a deal time it’s the best value in the area. Pro shop had great selection. Only off course downsides was putting green was small and no food other than snacks. But drink selection and bev cart were solid.

Pricey

Course was in good shape, although greens were very hard. Way too expensive now. Costs 2.5 times what it used to.

Fun Course

This course has a good mixture of short and long holes. If you are on your game you can score. Very fair. Excellent conditions. New Bermuda greens are rolling well. Good lies in fairways and rough is not bad. Several elevation changes from the tee box are exciting but not difficult. Look forward to playing there again soon.

Beautiful Day, Beautiful Course

Played by myself on a beautiful spring day. Did not wait on a shot until the 7th hole. The course was stacked from there on, but finished in 3 1/2 hours. Greens were beautiful and firm, but would hold a good approach. Very playable course. Mixture of short and long holes. Good range and short game practice area. No grill room, but the beverage cart came by several times. Look forward to coming back soon.

Very fun course

This course was a breath of fresh air. Made for an incredibly fun round with excellent course design. Only complaint was lack of food during the turn. Make sure to bring a snack.

slow play

The last 3 times I have played was extremely slow. The last time I paid for 18 holes and quit after 12 due to the pace of play. The course needs a marshal to keep the pace appropriate. There were several times when an entire hole was open between groups and golfers not playing the right tees contributes to the problem. A nice course but for the money they charge the pace of play can be improved.
