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.

Sanded Greens

I played on 4/19/2021, I have played here before and very impressed with the course layout. It is not very long, however, the course is always kept in very good condition. I just wish when I went to check in that the pro shop would have told me they had just sanded the greens. It made for a very rough day for putting and greenside chipping.

Great day on Course

Course is in good shape and greening up nicely. Absolutely no complaints. Greens roll good but are hard , fairways have good grass and playing well. A couple weeks and everything will be awesome. Pace of play was awesome for a Saturday and staff was very friendly. Highly recommend this course

Slower than slow

There was a foursome in the fairway and two foursomes waiting to tee off just about every time we drove up to the tee. Nary a marshal on the course. It was such a wait on every hole that my back tightened up and I pulled a muscle snd had to quit. Such a nice place but apparently they don’t care about pace of play. We heard someone in the parking lot cursing about a seven hour game. Sad.

Enjoyed course

Greens were in great shape. Had sone run of the mill winter wet spots but all in all course was in good condition. Doing a ton of clearing around creeks and ponds and it looks great. Will definitely go back.

Overall this course is in good condition considering the time of year however, at least 7/18 tee box areas are in terrible shape with virtually no grass and very uneven ground making it nearly impossible to tee off on a level, grassy area.

Beverage Cart had no food and halfway house was not open.
