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.

Early Round

Course is in decent condition. Greens are fast. Fairways are in good shape. Some tees are in progress of som much needed TLC. Some bunkers are shallow with sand and others need to be rebuilt.

Mayhem

Positives:

- Really enjoyed the course, lots of thinking on tee shots.

- great condition for this time of year

- nice clubhouse

Negatives:

- check-in, priority given to phone calls, no real guidance on location / access to range, or location of first tee.

- no starter or ranger, group in front of us started late for no good reason

- lady in private golf cart comes screaming down hill in the grass within 10-15 yards of #1 green blasting music, no respect for any of the players whatsoever

- we finished late, so some grace here, but lots of people on the course like it was a park, kids riding bikes into fairway on #18 and walking in front of the green

Expected More with Chateau Elan Name

My first time vacationing at Chateau Elan. As one of the two resort courses here I had high expectations especially at $125 per player afternoon rate (I know this is the Masters week in GA). Instead:

- no one came out to unload our bags

- we had to pay $9 per bucket of range balls to hit from mats

- it took us more than 5 hrs to complete our round. A group ahead of us called the clubhouse to complain and when no one came out they ended up leaving after 4 holes (hope they got their money back).

- most of the tee boxes and some of the fairways were all torn up

Needless to say, I’m not coming back here anytime soon.

Very nice course

First time playing at Chateau Elan and I was very impressed. Played the Chateau course. Course was in good shape despite typical winter conditions. The layout was good and very playable. With the hills in this part of Georgia there were a couple of holes that were weird just to fit the terrain, but not nearly to the degree most courses around here seem to be. The club was very nice … very similar to a private club. It is not cheap to play but compared to other public courses I thought it was well worth the money. I will be back.
