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.

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.

Course layout

I love this course has to be my favorite course. The tee boxes are great and I like how some of the tee boxes are tiered. Off the box they make it challenging by giving you a window to hit through. Greens are nice and fairways are ketp up with. Makes for a great game.

Decent Golf Course.

The course overall is a pretty decent value. Somewhat challenging course with beautiful fairways, well cut fringe and friendly staff. Only downsides are that the bunkers were in pretty bad shape as well as the greens were sanded down on the back nine so putting became inconsistent. Overall not a bad course for the price and I see it being in better shape in the next week to two.

Beautiful course, slowest greens in Atlanta

This course is manicured and managed almost perfectly. It’s a shame to waste such a great track with greens that are so dang slow. It takes a full swing to get a 15 foot putt to the hole. I hope they can somehow get them rolling better in the future.

Fun Course

We played this course two weeks in a row because we loved it so much but the second week we were paired with a couple of strangers which was awkward and slow. It was a very hot and still day and the slow play made for an exhausting round of golf. We didn't go back for third consecutive week.

4 hour round

Greens were very slow but consistent, , my biggest problem was no water coolers on the course, the two fresh water fountains were not good. You need cold drinking water on hot day. My only vice. thanks

Grass good in fairways, aprons and tees. Greens are consistent.

A challenging course from the blue, much easier from the white. Greens were "fuzzy" and very slow but consistently that way. I guess the mowers can't keep up with all the growth due to so much rain. Fairways drain well and are firm. The layout is pretty straightforward and course condition is about an 8.7 out of 10.

Green too slow

No ranger to check up on the pace of play. The 3some in front of us were beginners and were playing awful slow. Spending too many times looking for lost balls.

The green were extremely slow. They should press the ground more firmly so the ball can roll faster.

At least the fairways were in good conditions.
