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.

Beautiful Day for mid winter

The course is playing really well for this time of year. A lot of effort has been put in the bunkers and greens and it shows. The fairways and teeboxes could use a little work but only because the grass is dormant and no sand provided for divot repair. All staff members are always courteous and attentive and food and drinks reasonably priced. Might be the best bang for your buck in Gwinnett!

Always love playing this course.

It was a great day for golf. It was just very wet. Not the courses fault. We have had a lot of rain lately. But it was a great day at the course.

Great course

Played early Jan, course was in good shape. Only thing I wish was added was Yardage stakes for 150 etc. They have yardage on sprinkler heads, but pain to find. Bring your range finder.

One of my favorites!

Friendly staff. Course always in good shape year around. Sometimes the greens are a little high in the summer. I was told this is to protect them from the heat due to the type of grass. I mention this but it doesn’t detract from a great course in my opinion but some of my buddies find it a little annoying. The course is absolutely beautiful in the summer! It’s not overly difficult but playing from the blue or yellow tees will give most anyone a good challenge. If you’re not in the fairway off the tee, it will definitely be a challenge to score well. A good selection of accessories in the club house. I’m a health nut so I don’t eat much club house food so can’t help you much there. The only negative for me is no bunker or chipping area. The range is fine.

Hidden gem

KeepIng in mind the greens were recently sanded , this course is still a hidden gem for the value. Very diverse holes and challenges await. Staff always friendly and accommodating. Never disappointed in the conditions of the course. Try it, you’ll like it.

Pace of play

Group of two guys ahead of us was horrendous . Pace of play was by far the worst thing I’ve ever experienced on a golf course. Loved the course but those guys made it terrible.

Hidden Gem

This place has never let me down. This is my favorite course away from my home course.

I put this course down to play every time friends come to town to play.
