Chateau Elan Golf Club - Chateau Course
About
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.

This was the #13 green if i'm not mistaken. Can see how nice the sand bunkers were and how nice the green was. Photo submitted by bryan6804634 on 09/16/2016
Pricey
Played the Château course twice on Father’s Day weekend. Found it to be a bit pricey based on the condition of the greens. They were still recovering from aeration and sanding a few weeks earlier. Pace was a bit slow but not terrible. Good food and drinks at Sarazan’s.
Struggling with drought conditions
Completely understand we are in some drought conditions but some areas were so heat stressed they might not recover. Clearly not doing enough watering for the weather. Greens were aerated within the last 2 weeks and are still borderline unplayable in my opinion. 2-3” hops were not uncommon. Seems they weren’t sanded enough after punching as there are lots of unfilled holes. I’m confident conditions will improve with better weather so my review only reflects my experience the week of June 20th 2022.
Great Fun
This course is in great condition with the recent heat wave hitting the area. Course is challenging from the tee shot selection and you can just pull out your driver all day long. They did have the drink cart and that was wonderful. They also had water coolers which is a great addition!
The only problem was we had a group of 5 playing together in front of us and they never let the two of. Is pass. I think they may have been member but letting 5 off the start for a morning tee time is crazy. No Marshall ever came to the course and we waited on every hole.
Unprofessional
I played the course on June 4 and everything was great. I come back on June 10 with 3 guests and the greens were punched. We should have been informed of this as the greens were unplayable.
Nice round at Chateau Elan
Played on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and had a great experience. A little pricey but it was a morning round on a holiday weekend, so not unexpected. Course was in solid shape, greens rolled very true. Pace of play was good & the beverage cart came around probably 5 times during our round.
Best course around Atlanta
First time playing. Course is in great condition.
Chateau has stepped up
The course conditions and clubhouse have vastly improved over the past few years. Price was steep at $130 for one of the first tee times of the day but you get what you pay for as we felt we had the course to ourselves and we flew through the course in right about 4 hours which was awesome!! Will come back 100 percent.
Nice golf club
Enjoyed course even though it was pretty hot for this early in May. Staff very friendly and accommodating
Grill offered breakfast which was delicious.,

Great track wonderful layout. One of my favorites in north Atlanta.
Great conditions
Course was great,greens roll nice and quick.My only negative is the range ,balls are old and something they find in thier lakes.The hitting ground is all dirt,no turf.Maybe try moving around box.
