The Chimneys Golf Course
About
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.

1st time.
Course was great. Greens were advertised as recently aerated but wasn’t a problem. Love the layout and for the money a great deal and golfing experience. Looking forward to playing it again.
The Carrier Crew Golf Outing
Everything was very good the corse was in great shape can’t wait to see it when everything turns green the greens had sand on them due to Maintenace . The pace of play was great until we made the turn on the back 9 it had a foursome that held the course up they were so slow another foursome caught up with at the tee box other than it was a great course We all said we would be back
Heavily sanded greens
I’ve been playing on this course for the last few weeks and was aware that the greens were recently aerated. The aeration was not affecting things much, so we decided to play again this past weekend. When we started playing, we noticed that the greens were heavily sanded and it made it impossible to putt. I was disappointed that we were not made aware of the sanding prior to playing. I’ll still come back to the course, but will be more careful when playing after the greens have been aerated.
Where’s the smoke
Nice course some great elevation . Great value had a very enjoyable day.
A Hidden Gem
Played The Chimneys out in Winder yesterday and it was well worth the trip from the north metro area. Greens were in great shape after having been aerated only 3 weeks ago. Fairways are greening up really quick. Great mixture of challenging holes where club selection is key, while others you can attack a little easier for an under par score. Loved the rock formations lining the fairways and greens in some spots. I will be back very soon!
Awesome!!!
I've said this before and I'll say it again great course to play and very playable for all skill levels. Just a fun place to play!!!
My favorite course to play in the area
I always enjoy Chimneys! The course has an excellent layout and is always kept in top condition. The staff is consistently friendly and accommodating!
No notice!!!
Greens had big punch holes in them with no notice or discount, doesn’t seem right to me. Now I will be very hesitant to play here again.
Nice track
The greens and fairways were aerated but no notification was given when booking. This is my only complaint. Staff were nice and Helga is awesome! Great food! Course plays a little short so back up a tee box. Nice big greens, and great rock features. I want to go play again!
A potential jewell
For a course that's tucked away between Atlanta and Athens I found it to be a great treat and value for the money. It's not a long course but will reward accurate tee shots and spot on approach shots. Considering the year of golf is young the greens are huge and roll true. Like most courses this time of year the fairways haven't grown their green cover but in a month or so this course will be awesome to play
Fantastic
This course has been one of my favorites from day one. Always friendly staff and the course is on of the most friendly/challenging for the money. One of the few "budget" courses that has fairway bunkers and challenging hole placements. I cannot say enough good things for this course. Only thing is last time I played they must have recently airated the fairways on multiple holes but didn't throw my experience one bit. Absolutly love this course. Will continue to play here.
Great layout
First time here. Played as a foursome teeing off midday. For winter conditions the course was in excellent shape. The layout was excellent without a lot of heavy overgrown rough. Greens were in good shape for this time of year also. The staff was accommodating and friendly from check in to cart return. I was most impressed with the fact the City runs the course which is normally bad news. Not here though! I will come back again and I’m looking forward to summer play on this course.
Beautiful layout, intermediate level but still plenty of challenges, good rates staff excellent. Keep pace of play reasonable and good shape for winter.
Very good.
Live the course and the layout. Green are a lot better. Very slow last time I played there. This time much better.
Still the best...
Chimneys is still the best value around. The course has greatly improved over the last few years. Though it isn't terribly difficult, the conditions are always good. Additionally, there is a woman who sells food in the cafe that is wonderful ( I particularly love her meatloaf sandwich!). Look forward to the next round.
