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.

Always Great!

I play this course a lot and it never disappoints. I sometimes take it for granted because I live so close. Always in superb condition. I f you can hold your own on the front 9, the back 9 can really allow for good scoring. Recently acquired by the city of Winder and, if anything, it has just gotten better. Fairways, greens, teeboxes always excellent.

Great play for small fee

The course is always in pretty good shape. The greens are well manicured and smooth, though can be slow at times. The course is short and narrow in places. Accuracy is a must here, and if in the fairway off the tee you will score well, bc you will have lots of wedge approaches. My buddy and I try to play here every weekend because it is a good course with low greens fees. If you play here you won't be disappointed, and I'm sure you will play it again.

Good quality course for the price. Greens are in very good condition. Normal speed. Fairways were nice but needs to be cut just a little shorter. No water at tee boxes. Nice casual course to play. At around 6500 yds for back tees, the course was really short for me, but it was a fun course overall.

They installed filtered water fountains by hole #9. You pass it on the way to hole #5 from hole #4. The other one is between hole #13 & #14.

Hidden Treasure

From the start, you known the feeling. The golf course is in Winder Ga., Winder doesn't have a interstate for christ sake. I drive all the way out there and then some. You then turn in to the baseball fields, no joke, past them is The Chimneys. It was beautiful, really the fairways perfect, greens stealer. Wow I thought, it was great, they have these large rocks tied into the land scape. It's a super course, great deal, the only thing pack your lunch.

This course is worth the $ and drive

The course has really improved since last year, greens in great shape for late July, staff very friendly food great.
Played on a Friday so pace of play was much quicker than on a Weekend due to the course not being so busy.
Highly recommend playing here.

course conditions

I was pleasantly surprised by the great condition of this course. It was a lot of fun, just challenging enough. Golfers are not repairing their marks on greens as they should be. No excuse for that. Would recommend this course to players of all levels, especially for the price.

Beautiful layout and condition

Only three hours to play. No complaints about greens, fairways or tee boxes. A little short compared to other courses, however, much more enjoyable. More designers should realize 95% of leisure golfers can't break 90 and would love to play this course. If you want more challenge, back tees give you plenty.

Good course for a good value.

This is always a fun track to play. Course was in good shape, but greens were not cut which resulted in slow putts. Fairways were in great shape and pace of play was excellent, 3 h 28 min. Overall, a great place for a fun day of golf.

We went as a four-some, and had lots of fun. Not too many narrow fairways, so it plays pretty easy.
