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
Nice Day on Chateau Course!
It was a beautiful day. Course was in good shape. Pace of play was good. Great way to self-distance during the coronavirus outbreak.
Thank you for visiting us at Chateau Elan Golf Club. We appreciate your 5-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Always a Great experience at Chateau Elan
I have played Chateau Elan – Chateau course several times. This course is one of my favorite courses in the Atlanta area.
The course condition was very good for early spring and the staff is always friendly, helpful and accommodating. The staff always treats everyone like they truly want you to come back. That is always a plus versus many courses which act like you are lucky to be able to play the course and they are doing you a favor by helping you.
Chateau course is a great options for all skill levels. Chateau Elan has a great practice area (two different putting greens, very nice short game practice area, practice bunkers, driving range).
The greens are always in great condition. They roll true and have lots of subtle breaks and undulations which adds to the challenge. The greens are quick, but not treacherous and all tricked out.
For early spring, the course is in great shape. Due to the COVID-19 situation, there are no sand bottles on the carts, nor rakes in the bunkers and all the golf holes have foam swimming noodles, all as precautions to help keep everyone safe while still being able to enjoy a fun and challenging course.
I highly recommend Chateau Elan.
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Chateau Elan Golf Club.

Great Golf Course
One of my favorite courses in the Atlanta area. The course condition was great and the staffs were very friendly. I highly recommend this course.
Great round with friends
The staff was great the golf course is in good condition for winter time. Had a great time with my friends we are high handicappers. Good options for all skilled others. It would be nice to see the course when the grass greens up !!
Good day
The staff was very welcoming. Paired with a twosome that was a joy to play with. We all used golf pass for great saving and a good day. Thanks to golf pass and the staff at Chateau. Good day.
We appreciate your kind comments and great review! Thanks for playing Chateau Elan Golf Club.
Thanks for the 5-star review!
Extremely SLOW play
Over 5 hours to play 18 holes is just ridiculous, especially when its not cart path only.
We teed off behind a "party" of 8, two groups of 4 that were there to drink and goof off more so than to play golf. They drove their carts all over the place, on pars 3's near the green and through a bunker. The first group waited on the green or tee box of every hole for the group behind them. There were three groups on every tee box almost the entire day. Needless to say the first group of the "party" was over a hole behind the group in front of them ALL DAY.
NEVER saw a ranger once. I understand it was a beautiful day and a lot of people on the course but there is no reason for a non tournament round to ever take over 4 1/2 hours.

Enjoyable course
So I am new to the area and decided to play a round just to check out the layout and course conditions. With all the rain lately I thought the course was in good shape. Greens rolled true. Will be back soon and considering membership!

Always a great experience at Chateau Elan
The course is in great shape, especially for this time of year. I haven’t played the Chateau course in a couple years and, was surprised by how much better the greens were. They’re definitely rolling and the pin placements were tough.
As always, we were treated better than we deserved to be treated. The staff is top notch and treat everyone like they want you to come back.
Thank you for the kind comments and great review, moondawg73! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your round with us and hope to see you again soon. Thanks for playing Chateau Elan Golf.
Fun Course in Great Condition
I have played Chateau Elan Chateau course several times and each time I play the course I always leave asking myself, "why don't II play here more frequently?"
The course layout is fantastic and fun and the conditions are always excellent and the staff and facilities are top-notch.
The greens are exceptional and some of the best greens anywhere in the area. They are always very quick, smooth and have many subtle breaks and undulations. The fairways were blown and cleared of leaves and debris with lots of fun elevation changes. You really can't ask for too much more or get too much better anywhere in the Atlanta area.
In my opinion, this is one of the very best public course in this area. Also, you can usually get a great deal on Golf Now which makes the value for the money a great deal.
The staff were great. The newly renovated clubhouse and restaurant are great. We stayed around after our round and had dinner in the restaurant and the food was excellent.
Overall, a great course at a wonderful price.
Thanks for the kind comments, RettJ. We'd love to see you for another round soon! Thanks for playing Chateau Elan Golf.
Great condition
First time I have played in a couple of years and the course was clean, well set up and greens were best I have seen here.
Thank you for the great review, Paul9783072! Come back and see us for another round soon.
Great course and facilities

Very friendly competent staff too.
Thank you for the kind comments and great photo! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon. Thanks for choosing Chateau Elan Golf!
Make sure you play here
Played at Chateau last week and the setup here is perfect.
The clubhouse has been refurbished and is fantastic. You then have all the practice facilities you need, good driving range, short game practice area and putting green.
The course itself was in great condition with the greens a joy to putt on, the ball was rolling smooth.
The course offers a variety of tees to play from which ensures all golfers at different levels can enjoy the game.
After the round no better way to sit and enjoy a cold one either in or outside the clubhouse.
Staff in the pro-shop were very helpful and did all they could to ensure we enjoyed our day at Chateau.
Thanks for the 5-star review! Come back and see us for another round soon.
