The Chimneys Golf Course

Was able to play as one of my Golf Now Free rounds. Can never beat free! Greens were excellent, would like to go back in the summer. Had a tough round as was stressed the whole time. Started with my GPS not working hence was difficult to find. Then having a 12pm tee time did not help. Hope to return in the summer as it was really wet and sloppy.

In all the rounds that I have played I have been very satisfied with the pace of play. Out of 45 rounds this year there has been about 6 times there was a very slow pace of play. There is a starting Marshall however there is not one cruising the course to keep the pace moving. That is the only complaint I have about this course. All and all it is worth my 45 min drive from Atlanta.

As we were putting on the 4th green, some angry, crazy guy (ACG) and lady pull up to the tee box and proceed to scream that we were playing too slow and needed to let people play through. This isn’t even the group that’s been behind us, he’s just jumped ahead to be belligerent. We politely told him that we were keeping up with the group in front of us and that everyone is backed up.

Fast forward to the 15th hole. We just teed off and are driving to our balls when ACG reappears screaming his head off again. We aren’t sure what he’s saying, so we stop and turn around to look. Dude is already teeing up his ball and getting ready to hit when we are maybe 100 yards away. At no point did he ask to play through, just straight into his rage induced nonsense. Not wanting to further anger someone who likely has a barbed wire tattoo on his bicep and multiple alimony payments, we tell him to go ahead and play through.

Funny enough, he proceeds to hit his drive 200 yards left into the woods. He then re-tees and smashed another into the woods. Great job bud, you really showed us.

Think he knows that taking mulligans slows down pace of play?

Good course. Switched the nines since the last time I played. Very enjoyable

Fairway and greens cre in good condition.

Especially the fast greens are good!

We were one and a half hours in on the 4th hole and I called the pro shop for help because we had 3 groups on the 4th hole. No help came from the pro shop. Finally on the 15th hole I told the group ahead of us they could let us through. We were a twosome and they were a threesome. There were two holes open in front of them and they reluctantly agreed. For a Sunday afternoon there could be a Marshall to keep the pace of play moving.

After time off for green replacement the greens have come in and roll true. Excellent job replacing them. Over the past several years the course has become one of the nicest course for the money.

One recommendation I have and mentioned to the staff, add divot repair sand bottles to the carts and divot pins to the par 3 holes. The fairways are still in great shape but folks with golf sense would sand their divots.

Beautiful course with welcoming staff. The new Sunday Bermuda greens run true. My favorite course to play in this area.

Has some nice landscaping features making it even more inviting than the average course. Except for a foursome ahead playing so slow they might as well been asleep, well worth playing.

The whole course is in great shape but Chimneys putting in the new Sunday Bermuda grass greens has really firmed them up. Even though they are only 2 months old the greens are rolling true and the rest of the course is in great condition from the tee boxes to the fairway. I always enjoyed playing this course and now with almost zero ball marks on the greens.

Course was in great condition. Really enjoyed the round.

Great practice facility.

Course is short, but also fair.

Bent grass greens which is very rare for Georgia.

Awesome junior program.

Course is immaculate.

Tee boxes are perfect.

Overall it has to be top 3 public I have played
