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.

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.

It's been a while

I haven't played here in 15-20 years, but the course was under aeration during my play this week. It was in pretty good shape, but I remember it being in much better shape then. The course was worth the $55 I spent, but I wouldn't have paid more knowing what I do now.

Great course

Unfortunately, we are at the point of the year where most courses are aerating their greens and we played 6 days after they did theirs. Plan to play again when the greens are back to normal.

Well maintained but not easy

The greens had been aerated recently which made putting a problem. Otherwise the course was immaculate, nice layout, big greens. Lots of water, traps, ravines, so difficult.
