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.

First Time Playing

Great variety

First time to play this course. Rolling hills throughout. Some of the par 4's were short enough to tempt you to try to drive the green, a great risk/reward actually....sometimes successful, sometimes disastrous, but very fun either way. Worth the drive from Norcross. Will definitely play there again.

Hidden Gym

The Chimneys Golf Course was such an excellent experience. My friends and I stumbled upon it during a recent trip to Athens, GA, and it simply blew away our expectations. The course is beautiful and well maintained. It is challenging to the average golfer, but several short par 4s might lessen the appeal to those playing at scratch. Highly reccomend the Chimneys.

Nice Fairways and Greens. Not much water

Layout of course is great. First 6 holes are the toughest and ease up on the back 9. Would def recommend for the money because fairways were nice and greens were in great shape.

Top notch condition

Best course by far that I've played in the area this year. From tee box to fairway to green, and even the rough, this course is in pristine condition. Well worth the money, cant wait to tee it up again next week.

This course is fair if you're in the area..

The course was in good shape from Tee to greens... But the discipline of the foursomes in front of us was very poor as they were very slow and hitting at least two balls a piece between them and other players were jumping from hole to other tee boxes that were inconsistent to order... 4 1/2 hrs for two of us... Very slow...

Great time!

Awesome place to play with family!
Great layout! The Greens were a bit shaggy but they were letting them grow in for aeration so understandable! Other than that if you live in Altanta check it out!
