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 round!

Course is fun, wide open fairways, decent bunkers. Design is nice but I don’t like the one par 5 and one par 3 on the back set up. Wish they had a cart person on the course on a hot Sunday. No trash cans at every hole was rather strange and they only have one portapotty for restrooms on the entire 18 holes.

Sweet track!

I’ve played here many times but today was the best I’ve ever seen this course. Everything was freshly manicured. I wished the greens were little faster. Staff was friendly as always.

Nice soft green

The course is in nice shape. Greens look good they are soft and hold the ball. But they are a little slower then other local greens.. I always like playing there even saw a deer on the course today. Nice layout pretty straight forward but need a few long drives . And a couple reachable pat 4s for the long ballers. Go play it

Best course in the area

Great course from tee box to green. I love everything about it. The back 9 is very getable if you can keep it straight. Best course in the area and I don’t think it’s close.

Used cart

a Keeper

First time playing the course. I will certainly be back. fairways were in great shape, though I found it curious there was no sand on the cart to repair divots. Tee boxes were in very good shape. I had seen the other reviews prior to booking this round, and was still pleasantly surprised. I wish the greens were a bit firmer and faster, but that is a bit picky. My playing partner and I were both of the opinion that this course presents one of the best values in the area.

Great Course... worth the drive.

Overall I had a great experience at The Chimneys course in Winder. I had a single booking and they paired me up with another single which was great.

The course was in great condition, it’s very scenic, well laid out and challenging. The staff were super friendly and the driving range to loosen up before hand was an added bonus.

All in all I would rate this course as great value for money and will definitely visit again in the near future.
