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.

We were not notified they were literally doing construction on the course 80$ for bumpy punched greens trees being cut down and empty bunkers? I think not. Wouldn’t have been so upset if we were informed. Wouldn’t have left a review if the app didn’t prompt me either just simply would never go back.

Great day.

Great day on the course with my nephew and brother in law! The course was in excellent shape, even with all the rain that it has received recently. Very few wet spots. In fact we started out as cart parts only, but were then advised by a marshal that it had been lifted. Greens has just been punched, but everything else was pristine!

Great course w few hazards

Great course. We’re beginners and found the course challenging but not impossible. There are hazards but if you play reasonably well it’s quite open. Hilly with beautiful landscaping. Considering we played on a very wet day, conditions were great.

Great course

I recently played the Chateau course, and it was in great shape. The tee boxes were green and well kept; fairways were also green, recently mowed, and consistent; greens were in excellent condition, rolled smooth, green and mostly divot free; cart paths are smooth and generally in good shape. The one area that needs attention is the bunkers. They had not been raked after last night’s rain and were wet, a few of them had landscape material exposed, and a few had sand spilling over the edge into the fairway/rough. Pace of play was average on a busy Memorial Day weekend, which was a pleasant surprise.

The staff was courteous and gave us individualized attention to ensure there was a cart in good shape for us before we started the round. There was no course marshal (that we saw) to keep the pace on schedule, but we finished in just over 4 hours, and we only stopped to wait a few times for the group ahead throughout the round.

Thanks, Chateau Elan, for a great round.
