Chateau Elan Golf Club - Chateau Course

I had not played the Chateau course in at least ten years, because my friends and I thought it was way over priced for the condition of the course. Well, They had it looking great; and with the golf now deal, we thought it was excellent.

Carts, grass, staff, location, pace of play, and ease are all top notch.

Nice track, great service and great location...JJW

Chateau and Woodlands, not nearly as well cared for, marked, etc as the other course that is part of the inside development. The greens were SLOW, lots of poana, the tee boxes were burned out, no starter to ensure smooth play, and price pretty stiff compared to other equally maintained or better courses. I was not impressed.

I love this course! It is ALWAYS in great shape. Last time I was

there, I saw people in the bunkers, removing rocks and pebbles by hand. Attention to detail really sets this place apart.

THe fairways are pretty open and the rough is penalizing.

Greens run true, although a little soft.

One of my favorite places to play in Georgia.

Greens had been recently aerated which did affect some of our putts noticeably. Tee boxes were in good shape. Overall, a great layout and great value.

enjoyed the course. fun ,playable. would play again

As mentioned above, the green have recently been aerified. Yet the course was in a very good shape. Very well maintained. The saff was super nice.

The course was both beautiful and well maintained! The sinage for all the holes was well placed. Had a great time playing, can't wait to play again!

Greens had recently been punched, wasn't aware of that when booking. In addition, some of the fairways and tee boxes are in poor condition. The pace of pay is very slow. We were behind 2 groups who should have been on the driving range and not the course. Overall, a very poor value at $60. Our group agreed it wasn't worth $40. Did not meet our expectations for "Chateau Elan."

Staff is always friendly and helpful. Course is in winter condition, and had just been aerated, so we knew what we were getting into when we booked.

The course has plenty of character; I really enjoy courses where I can lie down at night and go through the holes in my mind, and this one has 18 unique and memorable holes.

Will definitely be back to play again.

I was disappointed to find when I arrived at the course we could not play it because of the staff working on it. We instead played their Woodlands course. I had played this course before and did not want to play it but did not hvve a choice.

I play all around the metro Atlanta area and a little beyond. I would consider Chateau Élan in the top 5 public courses. Two great options for courses. Not crowded. Great and accommodating staff.
The Chateau course is a little easier, Woodlands is a little more of a challenge. Both a maintained well. I will always play at Chateau Élan at least 5 times a year.

I liked this course and the layout. I also like the Woodlands course quite a bit. Overall, these are good courses well worth the money. I play from the tips and all the par5s were tour length (560yds or so), which I like. One of their par3s is over 200yds and the other 3 are mid iron length.

First time playing the Chateau course. My friends in from out of town were blown away. Best value around.

great course and staff is very accomadating and friendly!
grille has great food and is reasonably priced. will definitely be back.

We've always enjoyed the Chateau Elan courses. They're above-average for the Atlanta area, though nothing spectacular. The recent weekend price hike to $75 is a shame, as my friends and I don't believe the courses are worth that much especially considering the hour drive to get out there. But if you're in the area or don't have better options, you should enjoy the rounds here.

Chateau Elan is a bit of California in North Georgia, with the vineyards, holiday resort and beautiful houses tucked along the Chateau course. The course layout is in a links style with plenty of room for each hole and optimal use of the terrain and water. We enjoyed the wide open fairways, high quality sand that we occasionally found, and the greens that made you want to hit your approach shot to the right level. It is a great place for a day of golf, even at the end of December.

I went to Chateau Elan Dec.18 (during dormant conditions). But to my elation, the greens were bent grass greens so they were a "true" green, not spray-painted green like they do for bermuda greens. The greens were in perfect condition, just the right amount of roll and bite. They were fast and true. This is really how I evaluate courses--by how the greens are. I give them a 10! I played both the Woodlands and Chateau courses--36 holes in 6 hours in the winter season and had daylight to spare at the end. I loved the layout of both courses, kept my interest the whole day. The staff was incredibly friendly even though it was the off season, they were very helpful and cordial.
I would definitely recommend these courses to you--you will not be disappointed.

Challenging layout, well maintained course. Greens were in very good shape
