Chateau Elan Golf Club - Chateau Course
Rating Snapshot
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
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.
Excellent Condition
This course is in awesome shape right now. Greens and fairways looking great! Will definitely be back soon
Pristine Conditions
Played 5/16/24. Course was in perfect condition. I have been playing this course 3-5 times a year for 10 years. I have never seen it in better condition.
They’ve gotten greedy!!!
I used to love coming here but lately they’ve gotten so greedy!!! They are over booking without a Marshall so it can take 6 hours on a weekend.
The course was in great shape!!!
This was a great outing and the course had a good pace of play.
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.
My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves! The customer service and food on point! We’ll be back!
