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.

Need Rangers

Need rangers to improve pace of play.

No military discount unless active duty. When I was on active duty, I was not around to play.

I agree on the military discount. How many active duty are in the area? I am a disabled veteran and appreciate a discount for my service to my country.

Solid Chateau

The courses at Chateau consistently provide good conditions. While February is not the best time of the year to rate any course, conditions were more than acceptable for winter. Playing late twilight, the course was wide open allowing me to play 9 holes in 80 minutes. Price was a little high for the amount of golf I could squeeze in. A super twilight time would be nice, but that’s probably not going to be something you’ll see at a Troon managed course.

Very slow

No ranger on course even though we called an hour plus before we finished. 5 hour round and should have been an hour plus shorter. Slow pace was ridiculous.

Little over priced

I love this course and layout. It’s always in great shape but it’s a little over priced compared to some of the other courses around that’s in as good or better shape. Greens were good not fast but good. They did have a lot of divots not repaired. 4 out of 5

We were on pace for a 5.5 hour round.

Only played 13 holes in just over 4 hours. Painfully slow. nobody monitoring course all day. Then around 5 they put a message out, Return Carts????

Wow they love rubbing salt into a sore.
