The Chimneys Golf Course
About
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.

Challenging
Just amazing layout...short course...challenging...if you’re not in the right place
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.
Great Shape
The course was in great shape , fairways and greens were well maintained. Bunkers look to have fresh sand, glad to say I didn't get a chance to test it out. Very pleased enjoyed the round and will be back soon
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.
Awesome!
Beautiful course, well kept, played after 2days of heavy rain and course drains excellent. Great round of golf!
Best yet
Course conditions were the best I've ever seen. New carts. Greens were perfect and fast...love it! Also the ladies selling food make an outstanding meatloaf sandwich! Will definitely be back soon.
Great publick cours
Good to great tees, fair ways and greens. Some hard some easy holes.
Transformed greens!
I had done a review mentioning the poor condition of the greens about a month ago. Well they’ve whipped them into shape since then and are much better. Had a great time as the whole course now is in wonderful shape.
Returning after 8 years
We use to play this course frequently when we lived in the area. After moving to North Georgia 8 years ago, we have not returned. We found a great deal online and decided to return to a great course. We were not disappointed; and my wife commented how much she liked the course. Except for a very slow threesome in front of us, the day would have been excellent. Course conditions were great, and there are some challenging holes; with one hole having a reasonable forced carry if you play from the tips or the Blues. All around a great course to play; but you need patience if the course is busy with a lot of golfers new to the game; needing those extra shots off the tee.
Great course
I love this layout. Challenging but fair. Can’t wait to play again.
