Rating 73.8

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.

Golf cart quitting in the middle of a round

Overall the course was in good condition and pace of play was tolerable. However, the golf carts apparently have defective GPS systems that cause them to alarm and even TOTALLY SHUT DOWN when they are being driven ON A CART PATH, not just once, but repeatedly . When I asked someone in the pro shop about this, they said that they were fully aware that their carts were stranding golfers in the middle of the course on dead carts but clearly could have cared less. When asked what they planned to do about it, the employee said “eventually the GPS company would figure it out”. Meanwhile…good luck. !!

Little bang lots of buck

Let me start with this round cost me $163 after tax. Included in that was the privilege to pay for a bucket of range balls, a driving range without out grassy spots that was clearly not cleaned up the night before, cups that haven’t been cut in at least a week, a cart that flags stops you from driving in a “restricted area” even though you’re on the cart path, and no water on the course. The staff was friendly, but for the price, I could’ve gone to top golf and been more satisfied with the outcome.

Vintage Chateau

The kinder, gentler course at Chateau Elan. It offers plenty of challenges but less punishing than the Woodlands. Course was in good condition. Greens were true.

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.
