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.

Great course

Course was in exceptional condition. Apart from some rain showers the first few holes it was a great day (although scores didn’t reflect it).

Went out as first group as a twosome, and completed 18 holes in 3 hours.

Staff is very friendly as well

Nice layout. Tee boxes in bad condition. Need to let the grass grow on greens and fairways. Mowed to low.

What a great resort and course

Loved everything about this place. Despite a foggy morning, the course was great from start to finish. We played early and the pace of play was great. Layout, conditions, greens were all great. Fair test of golf but not easy. Nice people working there, great lunch. I look forward to coming back.

Ball repair

I cannot understand how courses let player abuse the greens. I was repairing as many as 15 ball marks on the greens.

You need a camera on greens where the approach shot it a wedge and notify people repair you divots or leave.

I know nobody likes honesty any more but the biggest problems are Asian players. I don’t have any clue why but that’s a fact. Very odd.

Pace of play ridiculous

Chateau Elan packs you on the course which was to be expected on Thanksgiving morning. Shotgun start which should help the pace of play….It didn’t. The management took our payment, led us out in a caravan and then went home. There were 4 groups stacked on a par 3 and then the next hole is wide open. My foursome was forced to quit playing with 5 holes to play because we were already 4 hr into the round. I walked back into the pro shop only to find the doors locked. I’m aggravated to have paid $150 and not have the chance to finish the round and further have no chance to express my disappointment with the pace of play with management personnel. Don’t go play this course. Go north, go south, but don’t play Chateau.
