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.

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 !

Had a great day of golf for winter

I love this course. It is a nice layout, private with no homes on course. Had a perfect pace. The new carts are fantastic and friendly workers make it a pleasure to play. Price from Golf Now is a great value

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.

The last few times I played the Chimneys, weather didn't let me finish the round, not a problem today, left my sand wedge greenside on the 9th hole, someone turned it in and was waiting for me when I finished, thank you! Great day , good round, and great course!

Great golf!

Played as a single, matched up with 2 other singles to make a 3-some. Great day and great course. Weather was in 70s, sunny. Company was good. The course was in great shape. All in all a great golf experience! Highly recommend this course. The layout is fairly open, but still challenges. The back plays a little shorter than the front, but both sides have doglegs and forced carries which will challange you. The greens roll true and the variation in sizes gives lots of pin placements. There are many tees to choose from, providing play for all levels of players.

Loved this experience!

Found this course in a search of the area. Went to the website and was impressed by it. Searched in GolfNow and found a good deal on a tee time. On my way there, I was delayed by an auto accident so I called to let them know I was going to be slowed down. Not a problem! Got me on right away. Just a beautiful course and in great condition overall! A few of the greens did have a fair number of blemishes from ball marks that went unrepaired. Wish all of the course that I regularly play were this nice!
