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.

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!

This course is one of my favorites

This course has always been one of my favorites in the area. We played as a 4-some and the course was in excellent condition. The staff very friendly and they have great burgers and sausage sandwiches at very reasonable prices. Great day.

Beautiful Course

This course is a lot of fun. Fifth hole gives us the most trouble with the swampy brush in the middle and a sharp veer to the right. Lots of trees and wildlife, saw a turkey on #10.

I love playing here. The only problem is the old man that greets you in the morning. He is very grumpy and makes me want to avoid him at all cost.

Great Course but the guys in front of us needed to get out of the way

Course was in great shape and our group really enjoyed the course. The foursome in front of us was playing two man best ball and I think the final group on Sunday at Augusta would have beat them in pace of play by over an hour. They really dampened a great day and a great course. Still enjoyed the course and will go back many more times in the future.
