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.

Very enjoyable.

Beautiful golf course, in great shape, and a pleasure to play. My only criticism is that was only two water stations on the entire course, and with the hot Georgia sun, one could be unconfortable.

Not worked in long time
Trap catch a lot of water
Very hard and packed
Algae on surface of greens

Would not recommend this course

This course is in the middle of a subdivision with kids playing the course who it appeared never had played golf slowing everyone, the residents have golf carts and all you hear are kids riding up and down the road hollering. Course wasn't bad but like playing in a Caddyshack movie.

You commented about the wrong course. This course is in the sticks and very much worth the drive.

well kept seceret

Great layout, interesting features with the old homes chimneys located throughout the facility. Greens were in excellent shape as were the fairways. Most holes straight forward with a look at most holes from the tee boxes. Play was quick with little or no waiting.

no rain check

We were rained out and could not play back nine.We asked for a nine hole rain check and they wouldn't give us one because they said because it was a hot deal the course doesn't get any money and Golf now gets it all. So if the course won't give us one I feel that Golf now should.

great facility for the cost

We were looking for an inexpensive place to play on Memorial Day weekend. I live on one of the other courses posted here on GolfNow but we chose the Chimneys because it was half price and in better shape. It is a great golf facility usually in great shape.

Course in excellent shape

I play chimneys frequently for several reasons: great layout (not in a neighborhood), great value (under $30 / often under $20 on Golfnow), friendly staff (Michael is awesome), good prices on beverages. As far as the condition of the course currently, probably the best I have ever seen it! The Bermuda fairways and greens have come in beautifully this year, the greens are rolling true; very smooth but also soft and receptive with approach shots. It is a generous golf course overall with wide fairways on most holes and very few hazards. It is a fairly short course from the forward tees which allows for high handicap players to enjoy their round but also offers a fair amount of challenge for those playing from the tips. I am an 8-handicap and frequently shoot in low 70's here so it plays slightly easier than most courses for me but I find it to be a lot of fun to score, so I love it. If you are looking for a a great round of golf that won't break the bank; this course is for you. I played on Monday 5-18-15 and played in just under 3 hours so it is usually pretty quick, which is nice.

Poor Staff

The staff is extremely rude. Treat you terribly, all about the money for them and they are very demeaning. The head pro is nice but the staff are just straight up rude. No way around it, ruined the entire experience. Great course but awful staff. 3rd time golfing here and the staff was never nice.

I really enjoyed this course. It's not a long course (around 6500 yards) but it is a fun course. Played with 2 friends and had a great day. I would recommend it to anyone.
