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.

Golfer Reviews
Better Option
The Chateau course at Chateau Elan is a great layout. A better option than the Woodlands course, for sure. We played 18 on a Saturday at 1:00 and were done by 4:15. The fairways, tees, and green complexes are in better shape and have a smoother roll than the Woodlands. Worth the extra money!!
Hi "Thomas5649560" Thank you for the 4-Star review, we appreciate the great feedback regarding the value at Chateau Elan. We are so glad that the pace of play was up to par on this particular day. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again this July 4th week.
First round in 10+ years
My wife and I played our first round in over 10 years today and had a great time at this course! It is impeccably maintained, challenging but not overly so, and the staff is about as friendly as you could ever want. With all the rain lately I was expecting a sloggy mess, but the course was virtually perfect! We opted to join the "Preferred Players Club" so we will be playing there quite often.
Hi "garyhair " Thank you for the 5-Star review, we appreciate the great feedback regarding our course conditions, especially after the weather we have received. Thanks for coming out and we hope it wont be another 10 years before we see you again! Thanks for coming out!
Always count on Chateau Elan
Played the Chateau course at Chateau Elan, and always enjoy playing it. Mainly because I of its wide fairways and the condition of the course. I gave the amenities a 3 star only because of the construction the pro shop and grill are under going. As far as the course itself, always enjoy playing there. From my understanding, construction should be complete around the first of August. Fairways are in great shape as are the greens, considering all of the rain we have had.
Hi "Atlsooner" Thank you for the excellent 5-Star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed the course conditions and our great amenities Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
Best service in Atlanta!

Sub par Marshall’s
Tee time was set for 708. Teed off at 730. Almost got hit in the head by group behind us 2 different times because of them being so freakin impatient. Marshall’s didn’t do anything about it. Course was great other than that.

Poor experience at chateau
Terrible first experience. Course was overbooked on a Saturday morning. Took us 9 hours to play 3 holes. We left without finishing our 18 holes.
Thank you for the 4-Star review! We appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again soon.
Nice course
Course was in good shape except for the greens which were sandy and slow. Round took over 4 hours on a Wednesday with very few golfer on the course. Very disappointed there were no starters or marshals on the course. Course layout was nice.

Great Course
Chateau is one of my favorite courses. I like it better that the Woodlands course. The conditions were excellent when I played. The greens were firm and fast and fairways and tee boxes had plenty of grass on them. I always enjoy playing here.
