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

Updated Clubhouse
The new clubhouse, pro shop and restaurant at Chateau Elan are truly first class. The Chateau course fairways and greens were in beautiful shape while a few of the tee boxes were a bit the worse for wear. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. A great course at a wonderful price.
Woodlands
I didn’t like Woodlands as much as I liked the Elan course but it was still a solid experience. Course was in good shape, pace was good & the course was challenging. I’ll be back.
A number if Improvements
I have played this course a lot in the early 2000s. They improve the pro shop, the course layout, and the restaurant.
Look forward to go there again
Chateau Corse is great, but hole 7 under construction
The course is in great condition but hole 7 is under major reconstruction.
If you live in Atlanta area you should play there
I live in Atlanta and Chateau Elan is one of my 10 favorite courses to play within one hour drive time. It's a great course for the money! The two courses have a fun layout, greens are quick, most tee boxes are clean, staff is friendly and houses around the course are pretty to look at! The course is not perfect but it is a public course and for what you pay it's a great deal! The club house with restaurant is perfect and comfortable for lunch, dinner or just drinks. I love their patio as well as their bar inside. Friendliest and most competent person working there without a doubt is Brittany, easy to recognize with her red lips and cute smile! She alone is reason to visit that golf course and stop by the restaurant.
Great course
Course was in good shape with the exception of a few tee boxes. Pace of play was pretty slow due to not having a starter. Definitely a great value and would recommend to anyone.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate the comments about the pace of play and have forwarded those onto management. We hope to see you again for another round soon!

Great Course - Always in Great Condition
I always like playing Chateau Elan golf courses. They course is always in great condition. Due to being spring, the fairways had recently been aerated, but it did not pose any problems as all courses must aerate in order to keep conditions nice.
The Greens were great (quick, smooth, firm and rolled true). The clubhouse was recently remodeled and now is top notch, just like the courses.
I will definitely be back, especially since you can frequently find great deals on golfnow. The practice facilities are also excellent, and this course is home to one of the Dave Pelz short game schools.
Thanks for the great comments and review! We hope to see you again for another round soon.
Recently Punched
Some of the fairways have been aerated recently, grass is still dormant, and surprisingly dry. Overall a nice course and enjoyed the day, just wish I would have known this ahead of time.
Thanks for the great review! We appreciate the feedback about your round and hope to see you again soon.
Thanks for the 5-star review! Book another round with us soon.
Hard fast greens
Course in decent shape considering all the rain we’ve had. Greens were hard and fast, but in good shape
Hello, thanks for the great review. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again for another round soon. Thanks for playing Chateau Elan Golf!
Unbearable slow pace
Tried to take my dad out for his birthday today for 18 at this place... took us 2.5 hours to get through 9 holes. No ranger anywhere to move people along and no answer from the clubhouse. We were waiting 15-20 min in between shots. Quit after 9...
Always enjoyable course!
We always like to play here! Today the course was unusually wet, especially in the middle fairway. We thought it would have dried out by our tee time, but not so much!
