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.

Fix the greens!

The course was in great shape except for the greens. You can’t roll a putt. You bump and jump it. They are so slow you almost can’t hit it hard enough to get it to the hole. Hopefully they will get better.

First Time Playing

Disappointed in GolfNow big time.

We didn’t get to play because there were thunderstorms and tornadoes in the area. Canceled it on the website but didn’t get a rain check or a refund. It’s ridiculous because there was no one on the planet that would play in that weather. It’s my first time using GolfNow and I am very disappointed.

The layout of the course is very pleasing to the eye with a good variety of play from hole to hole. Which I like. I took a couple of friends with me to experience the course for the first time and they are definitely putting it in their rotation of courses.

Bounce

The rain has stopped for now. Nice to see the ball bounce in the fairway. Pace of play was great started out as a twosome caught another twosome on the 4th tee. From there the four of us finished in just over 3 1/2 hours.

My home course

Great course , I go there a lot , Michael and Chris are always friendly!

Course is always in good shape ! No matter how busy it is I always finish less than 4 hours , cause of course layout is setup nicely.

Back nine is the best nine to play , if you can survive the front 9 , you can go low, but it can easily go bad quickly. I bring friends out there all the time and they love it !

Best public course in the area

This course is the best by far in the area. The greens have gotten so much better than they were 4 months ago. They use to be long and slow and now they have them mowed down and the roll true. The layout has its challenges with short par 4’s and long par 5’s. Lots of elevation change throughout the course. This is one of my go to courses in the area.

Drizzly day, great golf

A little cool, some drizzle here and there, but the course was in great shape as always. It seems the players dont really take time to fix their pitch marks on the greens, which is a bother. Otherwise great day.
