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.

Favorite Metro Atlanta Course

For the money, this is the best course pound for pound in metro Atlanta. Shop is stocked with balls, clubs, apparel, beer, food, snacks, etc.

Course is always in good shape, layout is fun and has a lot of elevation change.

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!

Course in excellent shape.

Had an enjoyable round at The Chimneys today with a Hot Deal. Course is in great shape and greens also. But the greens run a little slower on this course. They run true but a tick slower.

Fuzzy greens

Chimneys is always a nice alternative to our home course...but the last 2 trips have been disappointing.

Everything was fine, except the greens were simply too slow. We played it about a month ago and they told us the greens were slow, hadn't been able to cut, etc.

We decided to give them another try last Sunday and they were in much the same condition...it's tough to get used to hitting putts that hard. It takes something away from the round.

Before returning, I think we'll give them some time to figure out the mowing situation over there.

Good value for the money for weekend golf

Good day of golf. Unfortunately, after 3 days of rain had to play cart path only with very slow greens. No fault of the course and management.
