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
Hi "u368068597" Thank you for the 5- Star review. We are glad you gave us a try, please come back and see us again soon.
This is a PGA standard type of golf cpurse

Hi "Jameskim007" Thank you for the 5-star review! We really appreciate it!.
They needed to bale the grass
The staff is always nice at Chateau Elan! The course was not is good condition, I lost several balls that where hit in the fairway or rough and were covered with dead grass. If I had not known that I was on a golf course, I would have thought that I was playing in a hay field. They could have bales up the dead grass, there is no way that we have had that much rain lately. The overall conditions has just went down hill in the last several years, it was nice that they replaced the greens, but they have let the others areas go in the tank. No worth the money!
Hi "Keith1958UGA" Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate your feedback and patience as the course has received a large amount of rain this summer season. With our maintenance staff dealing with this transition we hope to see you again this fall when we will be in perfect shape.
Great day for a round of golf. Weather was great, course was in good condition and pace of play couldn't have been better.
Hi "jczarchitect" Thank you for the review, we appreciate the great feedback about the course conditions. We are so glad that the weather cooperated for you today and we hope to see you again in the near future.

Not Able to Get It Right
I have written several highly critical Chateau Elan reviews. This review is also critical, but better than some prior reviews. This is my first round on the Chateau Course since the rebuild. I last played the Chateau course the day it washed out.
The course is nice, but not well maintained for a facility of this potential caliber. The place looked like a cut hay field before bailing. My biggest conditioning issue was the greens. These greens are rock hard and slow. I understand new Bermuda greens being hard, but these should roll perfect in mid-July with the nearly ideal growing conditions these past few months. There were only a few groups out and the pace of play was very nice for the first time ever.
The practice tee was closed so that the grass could be cut. I expect this on Monday, but not late morning on Thursday. This is yet another poor experience attributable to how Chateau Elan’s golf course operations are managed.
Earlier this week, I played a course where the average green fee is less than half of the typical fee at Chateau Elan. The course was better maintained and I had a better experience.
Hi "DG1" Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your experience. We can assure you we are constantly working on the condition of the course and have made significant progress over the last year, especially following our greens renovation. Regarding the driving range, please be aware that our typical day to mow the range is on Thursdays. We apologize that you were unable to warm up and would always recommend calling in advance to make sure our practice area is available. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please email proshop@chateauelan.com. Again, we send our utmost apologies and hope you will come back soon to give us another chance!
My New Favorite Course
I recently moved to Dacula and decided it was now time to play Chateau Elan Golf Club since I am only 20 minutes away. WOW, did I make a great decision. Let me start with the staff. Everyone from the bag drop-off location, the pro-shop attendant to the beverage cart lady were excellent. All smiles, friendly and willing to help. Now to the course. The golf course was absolutely beautiful and the condition was spectacular. The plush fairways were great and the greens were superb. Who could ask for anything more. I will be making this my new favorite golf course and many more rounds of golf to be played here by me.
Hi "LessIsMore" Thank you so much for the excellent review. We are so glad that you decide to make the move to Dacula and was able to give Chateau Elan a try for the first time. We really appreciate the kind words regarding our great staff and will definitely pass this along to them. As a local of the course don't forget to like us on Facebook for excellent golf specials!
Good value
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Fairways were punched so the rates were reduced. Had to roll the ball in the fairway to avoid soil plugs. Good value. The greens were in good condition and rolling well. I would go back.
Hi "mfishermaf" Thank you for the review! We appreciate your patience and hope to see you again in the near future!

Great par 3
This was the first time I played this Par 3 course and I plan to return many times. I wanted to work on my short game and this game me a perfect place to accomplish that. The distances from tee to green vary and the greens are various sizes. There is a mixture of hills, water, trees, etc. I look forward to returning soon.
Hi "Chris8860725" Thanks for the great review! We appreciate the great feedback and hope your short game has improved since playing at the par 3. Thanks again and we hope to see you again soon.
Well designed, beautiful course
Greens are vast and fast, fairways very well maintained. I'm a beginner and I found the course to be forgiving. Didn't have to make the perfect shot every time. Didn't lose a single ball...for the beginners out there, this is a big deal :-). Only got in 9 holes due to weather. I will definitely play here again!
Hi "u954364732" Thanks for the review. We apologize that the rain cut your round short with us, but we appreciate the kind words regarding our course conditions. Can't wait to have you back!
Hi "alexanh" Thanks for the review! We hope you enjoyed your round with us today. Please come back and see us again soon!
