The Chimneys Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

7th Tee Photo submitted by UGABrodel on 11/07/2016
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
Solid course
Conditions were the best part about the Chimneys. Fairways were flush and greens were smooth. Bunkers could use some work but it rained some that morning. The clubhouse and carts were very nice. Range has many flags at different distances to aim at but if wet it is very muddy.
The design is somewhat unique with many short par 4s on the front 9 and a much longer back 9. Feature hole is the par 3 11th.
Worst part about my visit was the pace of play and inconsideration from other players. 2 slow foursomes would not let me play through as a solo and no marshall/ranger to make them play any faster.
Slow Play
Don’t plan on booking the 7am tee time and getting a quick round in. Course practice is to let 1-2 groups of staff and friends tee of before you.
Chipping class
I played yesterday, and that chipping lesson that Ryan did helped out tremendously! I drained a chip from the fringe and got a few others really close. ROI!
Great Pace of Play
Loved the course. Had a great time. If there had been anything that resembled a 19th hole I would make this my go to course. No bar or grill to return to after the round.
Corse vs GN
Course is great. GN can’t keep their app or gift card working!
Don’t purchase a GN gift card.
Evaluation
The course was in very good condition. The price was a very good value. The only thing that wasn't easy was to find distance markers to the green. They need to mark the distances to the center of the green easier to find. I definitely will play this course again soon.
The course is in really good shape.
Haven't played here in a few months as last experience I thought was subpar. The course and especially the greens are in excellent condition. Staff as always are has been is great. A north Georgia top 10 course that I have played.
Only current drawback can be the price. Weekends are high, When I play during the week later in the day its not to bad.

One of the best public courses in this area!
This course is immaculate! Greens and fairways are well maintained. I especially love this course because for my skill level it’s perfect. Keep up the good work!
Great staff
Played Saturday and course is in excellent condition. Lessons from Ryan have been helpful and reduced my score by 4 strokes since we started working on my swing.
Bad staff, short course
Fun course but it’s a game of hurry up and wait. The staff was rude and the course is short. A lot of short par 4s. Barely any par 5s or par 3s
