Although Chateau Elan Golf Club & Resort is just 40 minutes from Atlanta, the panoramic views of the north Georgia foothills make it feel much further from the city. The club boasts two public championship courses and a nine-hole course as well as The Legends, a private golf club. In addition to the golf, Chateau Elan is also home to a full production winery. The Chateau Course is one of the public championship golf courses. The layout wanders across 170 acres, winding around a lake and two creeks. Water, not surprisingly, comes into play on more than half of the holes but there are also 87 bunkers strategically placed throughout to watch out for. There is thick Bermuda rough bordering the contoured fairways too. It is more open than the slightly more challenging Woodlands Course, the other public championship golf course.

Nice course

Everything was in really good condition. Greens were well maintained along with fairways. Staff were really great! I played late right to carts in there was a lot of cart traffic from the residents while trying to finish up but they where respectful and keep there distance from players. Overall a very nice course I would recommend and would play again.

Great Course, Tough Rough

Course was in really good shape, greens were smooth and good speed. Rough was the biggest challenge, if you missed the fairway, you were going to pay for it in that thick rough. Pace of play was good and staff was friendly. Starter, believe his name was maybe Bob, was insightful and very helpful for our group.

All great except no rain check

I love this course for its layout and upkeep. Unfortunately on this day it rained heavily at 6:00pm after I had played 9 holes. No one offered rain check even after I called the next day. That was the only blip for me.

Excellent Conditons

In excellent condition right now.

Plays long from the tips due to think rough a few tough Par 4s on the back 9.

Greens are in excellent shape. Not slow, not super fast. The undulations exist to make them very tricky if they were sped up just a little bit more.
