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.

The course offers a lot of variety with length of holes and elevation changes. There are a lot of rock outcroppings that provide visually stimulating hazard areas. The greens were in fantastic shape and a good time was had by all.

Another Good Golf Day

One of our favorite courses. Greens in good shape, rest of course in winter season shape. Got a good deal with golfnow, will not pay regular rate. Finished in less than 4 hours. They let us go off early, different than couple weeks ago when we had a golfnow tee time at another local course & they said we had to wait on our tee time. “No early tee times with golfnow, we don’t make money with them”. Thanks Chimneys for being flexible. One other suggestion, hole #12 consider looking at yardage, still tough par 4 from green???

If you haven’t played here GO PLAY

First Time Playing

The course is going to be amazing to play once the rains stop. Today it was cold, foggy and wet.

I am very anxious to play this location again once the trees fill in and the grass returns . This was a mid-winter round at its best. Mud, no roll and cold conditions made it a tough play but I’m sure it will be better the next time that I play it . The clubhouse and snack bar attendant s were very pleasant and informative. Carts were clean and responsive. Parking and location of the course was very accessible.

Another Good Day at The Chimneys

One of our favorite courses. Course in better than average conditions for this time of year & with all the rain. GREAT deal through a golf website booking. Gary at course helped me week prior with getting refund from same website because of weather & course conditions.. Suggest looking at hole #’s 5, 6 & 12 & consider adjusting white tee locations/yardages. Because of past rains & course still wet I was going to use a pull cart since it was 90’ rule but wasn’t allowed, why?
