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.

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.

Just keeps getting better.

Chateau has always been a “if the price is right and we can get the preferred tee time” place. And now it’s slowly turning into a “MUST PLAY” on our rotation of local courses.

The last 4 times we have played (over the course of 4 months) I’ve seen this course grow with hospitality, course maintenance and value.

These brutal hot July days, having that 7:20 Tee Time is greatly appreciated. The staff (including the Marshalls) are kind and considerate.

Now if I can just get my game good enough to play the Woodlands 😝

Beautiful Course!

Great course layout and conditions. Very slow play and Marshall sat in his cart and didn’t say anything to the slow groups. Course was fun but not for a 6 hour round with cart girl only coming by once and turn bar closed on a Saturday.

Nice day

Chateau as usual was nice. Course was good pace of play excellent which a 7:30 tee time helped that and had a very nice lunch in grill. Little pricey($150 per) but nice things are.

Found a great deal

Typically Chateau runs $100 plus per round. Was able to book an early Sunday morning for $80.

Great day and the course was in perfect conditions. Shot my all time low score of 81.

If you can jump on this course for less than $100? Go for it

Not worth the money

The course was fine however the staff is rude especially the golf shop.

Premium prices short staffed no marshal to keep pace of play 2:50 minutes for nine holes, 90 degrees no beverage cart. Not worth the price for an avid golfer.
