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.

It was very hot weather, however they did not have water between the course and you only can buy beverage at the club house. Just little more improvement needed. It is great course to play.

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.

Nice course.

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

One person ruined the whole day for us

Don in the clubhouse was very rude and unprofessional. Although the course was in good shape and Helga's food was as excellent as ever, I may never go back just because of Don.

Fun to Play

It's nice to play a course that is well kept and not a gazillion yards long. There is a very good mix of holes that allow you to use all of your clubs. This is a fun course for the average skill golfer that wants to be able to have a chance to shoot a good score. Highly recommend.

Had a great day

Played as a single and was hooked up with friendly couple. The course was in very good shape, greens running true, sand was a little rough. I was trying out a new driver, so had plenty of practice with my sand wedge. No houses...no noise, very peaceful. I will be back soon to play it again.

The Chimneys

Please ignore the ratings for pace of play. It took me 6 hours to play all 18 holes, but this was only my 3rd full 18 hole round and I shot a 147. I'm a rank beginner and topped a lot of shots and spent a good deal of time looking for the ball. I sacrificed about 8 golf balls to the golf gods on this course. They gave a couple back at one of the waste areas though.

It was a beautiful course. Continued to impress on me the addiction that is the game of golf. I had a wonderful time here and would recommend this course to anyone who plays. Some of the fairways were narrow, or had curves in them that would present a real challenge to an experienced golfer and they still had some holes that gave the rank beginner like me a thrill and feeling of success. Like one par 3 where I got a GIR for the first time ever.
