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.

Hidden Playground

Overall a great place! I have driven by many times and never realized there was a golf course beyond the baseball fields. (not that I was looking for one).

Played with a few of my friends last week. Greeted as soon as we walked in. John who was working the front desk was extremely happy and you could tell he really like doing his job. Unlike some of the old guys we have run into. I really enjoyed the course. As long as I was in the fairways I had a good lie. Greens were fast and in great shape. If I was to say anything negative, lack of food options. hotdogs would've been great

We will be coming back!

Perfect weather

The course is in decent condition and worth a game

It is not a hard course but still fun..

There are a few hard holes

3 - 6 -11- 12- 14-15..

I wish they would provide carts with dirt to fill divots.. would improve the course over time. Greens were firmer and faster than earlier in the year which made the course play a little harder

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the course! Our maintenance team works hard to fill divots daily on behalf of our guests which is what keeps our fairways looking so great. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks - The Chimneys.

Great course

This course is in great condition. It always has been, they have changed the old front nine to the back nine. Pace of play was on point. It cost about $60 to play Saturday morning which now is the standard price for golf around here.

A pretty course that is somewhat pricey.

A shorter course than average that I consider a little too expensive for the experience.

Always enjoy

One of our favorite courses, always in good shape. My understanding they’re renovating greens next year, not sure why, greens some of the better ones we play. Wished they had a course marshal to manage tee times & slower play. Only time we play is using a deal time or % off rates. Suggest senior, afternoon & foursome deals
