Chateau Elan Golf Club - Chateau Course

The last few times I have played here over the course of the last couple of years, the conditions have gotten steadily worse. Especially the greens. Patches of poanna and even gaps with zero grass (sand) everywhere, nothing smooth about the roll on 80 percent of the holes. They have lost interest in keeping this place up. Rack rate is still 65 plus bucks. Hilarious!! Apparently owned and run by the wine people at Chateau. Needs a major overhaul and lots of tender loving care, but will not be a quick turnaround.

I enjoyed playing The Chateau Course as I always do.
However, the course was VERRY soggy that day! I mean lots of standing water. Nevertheless I was very glad to be there that day. For me, the weather was perfect, in the mid 40's, the course was playing wide open, and I payed less than 19 bucks!!! HOLLA, YEAH BOYYY!! The greens were in good shape and were rolling true. Can't wait to get back!

The course overall is very nice but some greens were spotty which made putting very unreliable. Seemed almost like there was moss growing instead of grass.

Started with one of the worst $9.00 bloody marys you'll ever have served by a surly person behind the counter.

Granted, they had a 2 hour frost delay but we only waited about 30 min to get off. Our round was well over 5 hours and waited on EVERY shot. No marshals ever seen on the course.

Greens here used to be some of the best, now a mixture of poa annua, moss and maybe some grass. Impossible to putt.

Take your money elsewhere until CE makes some changes.

Greens were fair with some better than others. Bunkers could use some sand

This time of year there is no reason to have problems with bent grass greens. 4-5 greens looked to have had a fungus problem with spotty conditions. Otherwise the course was good

It's a real nice course, couldn't buy food so bring your own, beer too

The greens on the course have grown in nicely. Not incredibly fast but not slow either. Putts were rolling true and greens had very few ball marks. Fairways were nice and pace of play was respectable. Enjoyed the round.

Really enjoyed the Chateau course. My son is a scratch and I am a 10, and yet we both had a great time.
Would recommend the green tees unless you want to get beaten up.

Was first out as a single and so round was quick but was disappointed in the greens. They are very soft and suffering from large pitch marks (and the issues that come with people not repairing them). In some cases patches of the greens have been lost. Shame that a course I once viewed as semi premium is now degrading to a beaten track. $39 for early time fair but would not pay more for a later time. Finally was a little miffed by the green keeper not following the pin location number. Some were opposite of indicated location.

Golfnow needs a better system to let golfers know about course conditions. It's only after checkout and confirmation was I aware of the recent maintenance of the greens.

The course is challenging and fun to play, however
for being one of the premium courses in the area,
I was surprised at the poor condition of several
tee boxes, greens, and restroom facilities. Although
very playable, there seems to have been a decline
in upkeep since the last time I played the course.
Still, I recommend this course for a very enjoyable
golf experience.

The fairways were like carpet,greens rolled excellent,very pleased with pace of play. Looking forward to playing again.

Course was like it had been beat up...greens were black patched, rough and in bad shape. NO greens were to the caliber that I expected paying that much to play a SUMMER golf of round. Only reason I paid the higher rate on GolfNow was because I wanted to play a "nicer" course with an old friend of mine. Very disappointed. They either need to improve the course or lower the rate. Won't be going to CE again, that's the last two times have gone and been disappointed.

Course was very nice, really enjoyed the round. Will definitely be back.

Yet the course has been one of my favorite
I was quite surprisrd this visit about greens. It seems they aerated green a while ago I still saw many weeds spots all over the greens. Also no indication was posted in golfnow or by the staff members about aeration. I definately will not come this year and will let my guys know too unless I see any review for improvement.

Although the course was in good conditions, it was let down firstly by the state of the greens. Greens had been hollowtined plus they really need to educate players to repair pitch marks.
But most of all, there is no course or hole layout on the score cards or tee boxes so on most holes you are playing blind which inevitably leads to wrong club selection.
This was also stated by another couple (first timers) i met on the course.
You really need to play it more than once/twice to get the feel of the course.

Very disappointed with the condition of greens for no
ball marks on greens were repaired. Been playing this game 40 yrs and never saw so many deep gouges in the greens. If this was from the tournament that played the course earlier in the day then they need to brush up on their etiquette.

Nice course. Convenient and well kept. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the gold tees and I will most likely have the source serve as my home course.

Great day and course,it's all the course you could want,thank's
