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.

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.

Hidden Gem

Played The Chimney golf course this past Sunday. Was pleasantly surprised on how good of shape the whole course was in. Had a great time at this very scenic lay out. I was a bit disappointed that there were no ball cleaners at an other wise great tee boxes. Pace of play was a little slow at times, but manageable. It did give you a chance to collect yourself, cool off a bit on this hot humid day, and prepare yourself mentally to forget about that bad approach shot you just hit. Overall a great course, a good experience and look forward to playing there again.

Top Spot on NE Georgia Golf “Value Menu”

The Chimney’s is a fun course and a can’t beat value. Played on Sunday 6/3 after much, much rain over past week and the course was generally in good shape. Some of the bunkers had been impacted by the rain, the greens were slow and it was cart path only but none of that surprised us and we could have paid twice the freight elsewhere and had the same conditions.

Chimney's in excellent shape

We teed off at 12:50 and the course was full but not many people in line to tee off. #1 requires a challenging placement of tee shot, I pulled left into the sand trap, and ended up with double bogey. After that 8 straight pars for a 38. Fairways were pristine, and greens soft and a bit slow, but to be expected with all the rain we had last week, but they were smooth and putted true! Back nine - Bogey - Birdie - then 5 straight pars - Finished bogey- bogey for another 38 and 76. My only criticism is the sand traps were not groomed, but that's understandable with the rains the previous days... Very nice round of golf.

Nice.

The course is always well manicured. The fairways well sodded and the greens very nice. The course is a nice balance of challenging, moderately challenging and fairly easy holes.

It is a really a beautiful course on rolling hills. It is everything you could ask for in a course in this area of Georgia. It has attractive scenery. It is reasonable challenging and the course is well maintained. It's very nice.

Absolutely gorgeous

Had a wonderful time on this course, rough was fluffy and green, fairways were gorgeous and fresh cut. The only gripe I have is the greens. They were in good condition they were just being grown out to be cut and rolled soon so they were veryyyy slow, can’t wait till they’re finished, will be back as soon as they get cut!

Excellent

Try to play Chimneys several times per year. Based on the condition of other courses in the area I will probably play more often. The course is in excellent shape all the way around compared to others in the area with weedy or bare greens, sandless bunkers, grassless fairways etc. The value for the money is the best. Oh and the lady who cooks in the cafe makes great food!

Course is in EXCELLENT shape!

I've never seen the course look better! Everything was a lush, bright green and the course offered tremendous views...especially from the #1, #2, #10 and #16 tee boxes. The staff has done a tremendous job with the course and are always extremely friendly. Cheap beer and burgers/hot dogs can be found in the clubhouse. The Chimneys GC is in excellent shape!

Very nice

I wish this course was closer to my house. greens were unusually slow. I think they could be cut a little bit more and that would make them more interesting. Other than that beautiful course lots to eat and reasonable range balls.
