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.

Too pricey
This is. A nice course but not worth the $50+ dollars during the week. They raised prices during Covid and never reduced.. Our group has started looking for alternatives like Providence, Lane Creek, Chicopee and others that are cheaper.
Weekend Inflated Costs
Play this course fairly often, normally during the week. Played on a Friday and the inflated golf prices were shocking! A normal Senior rate during the week is <$50 and to find it approaching $85 on Friday was disappointing. Taking advantage of the working folk that only have a weekend to play. It is a nice course, but not a $85 course as there is nothing outside of the course but snacks and some drinks.
90 dollars for a weekday tee time?!
Great course. Not for a 90 dollars worth. That’s ridiculous for a weekend round, let alone a weekday…. Go save your money and play somewhere else for a better price.
We noticed your recent review of the Chimneys so we wanted to reach out personally to help. We saw that your last tee time with us (at least booked under your name) was from February. Our rates have increased since then, as all courses, due to the time of year. Spring is certainly busy.
Did you know you can get rates this time of year though for as little as $34.65 on the WEEKEND? We offer our own red-flame specials on our website at chimneysgc.com for up to 30% off, even on weekends. Red-flame specials are listed daily. As an example, since I saw you booked in February on a Saturday, we have an existing tee time available at 1:50pm for 5/20 that would equate to $36.75 per golfer. As another example, even without the pre-paid red-flame offers, we have a 12pm tee time available for only $53.50 per golfer on 5/20. Looking for a morning time? We have one currently available for $57.50 on Saturday, 5/27.
The key is to book as early as possible. We offer a 30-day booking window which is much more generous than most courses. The earlier you book, the lower the rate! Most golfers wait until only a couple days out to book and we are often nearly sold out by then which is why you may have found our rates higher than what we've mentioned.
Please consider altering your review of the course. We would love to welcome you back for a round of golf at one of these options.
Sincerely - The Chimneys
Overpriced
I used to play Chimneys somewhat frequently because it was an affordable option somewhat close to where I live. The greens fees getting as high as $90 is unreasonable. The course is well-maintained but pace of play is extremely poor and there’s no enforcement. The layout is fine but nothing special so I would highly recommend exploring other options unless they decide to get back to the real world with their greens fees
Very Good Course in Rural Setting
Had a great day.. in the area for business and had the day off. Glad I found this course through golf now. Little disappointed there wasn’t a “grill” to grab a bit afterwards, but understandable being course is a bit out in the country. Bev cart person was always near by and clubhouse staff very friendly. Thank you..

One of the cooler munis I have played in recent years with two totally different 9s to make up a challenging course. Anyone from north of 285 to Athens would enjoy a nice 18 there.
Green Fees are too High
The course is growing into really nice shape. I fail to understand the recently elevated green fees. Our group plays twice per week so we are exploring other courses in the area. While we enjoy the course and the very friendly staff this course in not worth $55 - $80 for a WEEKDAY !!!
Absolutely insane that they’re charging as much as they’re charging. It’s supposed to be a city course but it costs more than most of the really nice clubs in the area. It’s well-kept but $90 is ridiculous, especially for the five-plus hour rounds you get here
Not a long course but fun and terrific condition.
Great little track at the foothills of the Appalachians. Greens are always great. The Blues are the longest 6K yards I've ever played.
My only concern is there often seem to be players that drop in on hole 10 and slow play. Not terribly but annoying nonetheless.
$100+?????
Management must have lost their minds. It’s a fun little rural course. Better option than the Pines in Winder, but anything over $50 is a stretch. Y’all come to Gainesville and play much better courses that never charge over $65 for a round.
Greens still recovering from aeration.
Like course. Senior friendly. Greens need to heal more from aeration 3+ weeks ago. More sand and water necessary?
