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.

This was the #13 green if i'm not mistaken. Can see how nice the sand bunkers were and how nice the green was. Photo submitted by bryan6804634 on 09/16/2016
Course was in great shape. Local knowledge is helpful with some greens as they have a lot of tiers and undulations in them. You have to miss is the tight spots. Greens were probably between 8-10 on the stemp and rolled pretty true.
Enjoyable day
The Chateau course at Chateau Elan was a very fair course. It didn’t overly penalize you for a missed shot. Most balls could be found if barely off the fairway. The rough was manageable. Some of the tee boxes weren’t in great shape where the tee markers were located. The tee markers could’ve been relocated at the beginning of the day on some of the par 3’s. The grain on the greens was pretty strong. Seemed as some putts broke up hill due to the grain. Overall, an enjoyable round.
Good layout and good value but needs a little improvement
Course layout is really good except for not being able to drive cart on 17 which makes it hard to know what club to take. Greens still slow from aeration. Range balls are just plain bad! Bunkers are not maintained. I was in one bunker and I would bet it had not been maintained in months! A few more maintenance dollars and this would be a really nice course!

Love the course, great layout, really fun to play. The pace was awful unbelievably slow, no course Marshall’s to be found. We had at least 5 or 6 twosome backed up the hole round. As bad and as slow as it was I will play again.
Chateau Course Never Disappoints!
Great layout! Micro-aeration had been done, but greens still rolling well and very receptive. A tee-box for every level golfer! Great amenities!
Clubhouse bar and restaurant excellent!
Tee to green is solid - greens are terrible
As a low handicapper it’s hard to enjoy a golf course with greens this bad. I almost started putting with a 3 wood. Tee to green was solid but the greens were rolling absolutely not the slightest over a 6 on the stimp
Played both courses - very fun and challenging
Awesome time playing both courses back to back. Great conditions. Only downfall was food at the clubhouse after the rounds was very slow - took about 2hrs to get drinks food and pay the check. Didn’t see cart girl on Woodlands which may be normal - prepare ahead with that in mind. Other than that - our two groups had a great time spending 12hrs on property all day.
Chateau Elan
Greens recently cored, not leveled couldn’t get any thing resembling a true roll. Every putt bounced its way to the hole regardless of distance to hole.
Surprised how poor the greens remain in late June
The rate reflected the fact that the greens were punched in early June. I thought they would have improved in over 2 weeks but they were still terrible..
Otherwise the course in playing hard and fast..
Some good holes 11 to 15 are best
Love this course but need a heads up on aeration
I always love playing both courses. However, i prefer the Chateau vs. Woodlands. Everything was in good shape except for the greens, as they'd been punched within the last 2 weeks. A heads up (and discounted rate) would've be preferred.
