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.

Wonderful!

My wife and I had a great round. An Excellent course, so were the staff and the amenities. We were lost in the back 9 and had to grab and ask a maintenance person to direct us to the next hole. Other than that, we certainly liked this course and added this course into our favorites.

Make sure you pack a snack

Make sure you pack a snack because food is not available until after hole 14. Bev cart showed up twice. Round lasted 4 hours 10mins with no waiting.

Awesome Course, Lack of Custom Service

Course was amazing. Well maintained, greens were in great condition.

It was 95 degrees and there 1 spot to fill water on the 7 or 7th hole. Cart girl only took cash, then the halfway house was closed up. No access to water nearly the entire round and bring cash.

Basic course nothing fancy

The chateau course seemed easier than the woodlands which I have played before. I would recommend it for beginners, but for advanced players would recommend woodlands. My perspective is that chateau was a bit overpriced and the quality was nothing exceptional. Still didn't feel like a waste of time but was expecting more after playing woodlands.

HOT

We had a 0740 tee time to beat the heat. Not only did we pay $87 for golf + small bucket of balls, but there was no jugs of water or beverage cart on the course! It was 83 with high humidity and no way to get water until you were on your way to 15th hole! Unacceptable! For that price for a round, there needs to be opportunities to get water! Course is WAY overpriced for what you get! I will not be back, nor will I recommend to friends!

Chateau side

Nice layout, great conditions but greens were quite slow. Probably had been punched a week or two prior so understandable. Pace of play was great. Staff was welcoming and helpful.

We were not notified they were literally doing construction on the course 80$ for bumpy punched greens trees being cut down and empty bunkers? I think not. Wouldn’t have been so upset if we were informed. Wouldn’t have left a review if the app didn’t prompt me either just simply would never go back.

Great day.

Great day on the course with my nephew and brother in law! The course was in excellent shape, even with all the rain that it has received recently. Very few wet spots. In fact we started out as cart parts only, but were then advised by a marshal that it had been lifted. Greens has just been punched, but everything else was pristine!
