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.

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.
Hi "jdawg614"
Thank you for the 5-Star review, we appreciate the great feedback regarding our course conditions. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
Lady at desk told me I was signed up for 9 holes but I paid in advance for 18 holes with a cart. I had my receipt on my phone that showed I paid for 18 holes so they honored it! Course was in GREAT shape and I’ll definitely be back there to play
Hi "u1936558" Thank you for notifying us of any tee time issues with the GolfNow paid in advance times. We have notified GolfNow and they are fixing the issue. Thank you for coming out and we hope that you will give us another try in the near future.
Good Course!
I love this course. I love the practise area and the staff. My only issue was the pace of play.
Hi "ajjames1120" Thank you for the 5-Star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your round today. We will definitely take a closer look into any pace of play issues. Thank you for making us aware of this and we hope to see you again soon.
Great course for your average golfer!
Course is wide open layout and is in excellent condition with almost perfect greens!

Never dissapointed
The shorter of the two the Chateau Course never disappoints.. Perfect mix of medium and long holes.. greens run from smooth to fast depending on weather condition / treatment.. Layout provides constant elevation changes and visible challenges to keep your attention without taking anything away from your game. A better staff cannot be found. Genuine.. real people great you here. Now is the best time to play as the course is gettable (lol) before she stiffens up with the heat..
Hi "puttforeagle" 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.
Greens
Paid $75 to play today and they didn’t cut the greens. Bumpy and slow.

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.
