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
Played 9 holes on the Chateau
Best golf experience I have had in the Atlanta Area.
The course is rolling hills but mostly very light hills. Easy to walk and ride. the course is expertly maintained and cart paths are excellent. All the personnel are friendly.
Hi "u00000275716"
Thank you for the 5-Star review, we appreciate the great feedback regarding our excellent staff and course conditions. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
A great place to play
I have played this course and the Woodlands many times I always love coming to play here. Great golf courses with awesome layouts, lots of elevation changes, and almost no flat greens to be found, but the greens roll great. Both golf courses are a true test of ones game. Must play if you never have played either
Hi "mmeaders" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you coming out and are glad you enjoyed the green speed. They are really rolling true this late in the year. Thank you for the review and we hope to see you again soon.
Great course but pace of play is bad
I play this course about once a week because it's exactly in between where my friend and I live. We book the GolfNow hot times so we really enjoy a great course at a great rate.
The greens on the Chateau Course are always in great condition and I really enjoy the course layout. It can be very challenging if your swing is off. The staff is always pleasant.
My biggest compliant is the pace of play. They have no ranger or starter and rounds can take 5+ hours. This is almost a deal breaker for me. The bar/restaurant area is not very inviting if you prefer to eat or have a drink after the round. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone eating or drinking in there in the couple years I've been playing here.
But, for the money I will continue to play Chateau because I love the course and rates.
Hi "u889154056" Thank you for the excellent review. We are so glad that Chateau Elan is your go-to course for yourself and your friends. Thank you for the great feedback and we hope to see you again this weekend.
Hi "GreenPanda" Thank you for the review! Please come back and see us again soon.
Nice Day
Greens were extremely nice. There is a couple holes that are very challanging to say the least.
Hi "Tw11golf" Thank you for the great review! We hope the course wasn't to challenging for you. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you a few more times before the Holidays.
Chateau Course
Always loved this course. Players need remember to repair ball marks on the green and rake bunkers after shots.
Hi "grizzlybear " Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback and we will try and reiterate proper course etiquette to our guests. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again in the next few weeks.
Course in good shape
Course good. Pace was slow and no help from the clubhouse to speed up.
Hi "rwatsonga" Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate the feedback and we will take a closer look into any pace of play issues. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again in the near future.
Fast Greens - great course
The greens were very fast, but soft enough to hold
approach shots with no issues. Greens, and bunkers in perfect shape. Greens had lots of roll... No issues with up hill putts, but nearly impossible to stop a put near the cup from any other direction - they just keep rolling as I prayed my putts to the high side of, and near, the cup would soon stop; they just kept rolling BTW, I love greens like this... Shot one of my best round ever; had quite a few more putts than usual though... Hope to return again soon...
Hi "u889493904" Thank you for the review. We appreciate the great feedback regarding our course. We are so glad that you had one of your lowest scores with us and we hope that you will give us another try in the near future.
Hi "u368068597" Thank you for the 5-Star review! Please come back and see us again soon.
Greens in excellent condition, with the good weather for our round and the challenge of the course, would
reccomend playing this track.
Hi "Kenjonick" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you coming out to try our course and are so glad the weather cooperated for you. Thank you for the review, please come back and see us again soon.
Thanks for the 5-Star review. We appreciate you coming out to see us!
Near Perfection
The course was nearly perfect. My game, not so much. The good: perfectly cut fairways & greens, sand traps were soft,the club house staff very nice. The "bad" no GPS on the carts, no course map on the score card. So bring your GPS and buy the course map for $5 in the club shop.
Thank you for the review and great feedback. We will take a closer look into providing better course layouts for our guests. We appreciate the review and hope to see you again in the near future.
Pace
Nice course but very slow. Walked off course as I couldn’t keep waiting 5 minutes to hit each shot. Spend a few dollars, please and get a Marshall willing to tell people to hurry up.
HI "u000001599829"
We apologize for your poor experience with pace of play. We typically have course marshals on weekends during our busy times but unfortunately did not have one on Sunday. Sorry about the inconvenience and we hope you will give us another try in the future.
Hi "jczarchitect" Thank you for the great review! Please come back and see us again soon.
Course is in good shape
The course is in good shape. The greens are not yet 100% from the last punch but they still rolled true. As with any Bermuda greens they are very fast downhill down grain and slower uphill/into the grain. Missing the fairway with your tee shot is a true mistake right now. The rough is thick/deep. With the greens as firm as they are its hard to stop a shot from the rough on the green. I played from the back tees, listed at 7,000 yards, it plays to every bit of it. The pace of play was a little on the slow side, 1 foursome 3-4 groups ahead of us was holding up the entire course, Marshall made no attempt to speed them up or get them in position.
I like the overall layout of the course except for #17 (the hole is fine except from the back tees). I will come back when I get the chance.
Hi "u000004159283" Thank you for the great review. We are so glad that you enjoyed the course today and we appreciate the great tips for other golfers! Thank you so much for coming out and we hope to see you again in the near future.

This is an excellent course for an outing or to entertain clients. It is challenging but fair. The amenities are great. The staff are very friendly.
