Chateau Elan Golf Club - Executive Par-3 Course

We played this course with a foursome. I had three from out of town so we had to rent clubs which were $36 per! Way too expensive for this course. We won’t do it again.

You have to check in the main pro shop then drive back out on the main road into the traffic congestion and turn into another part of the resort. Not ideal

Course conditions were not great

Small greens and 3rd - 4th -9th are brutally hard . Other holes are easy. Took a beginner and it was nice and quiet during mid week morning. So they could practice some shots and learn.

Not cheap for what it was and having to walk..

Still after nine holes we went back to the clubhouse and had a delightful lunch...

Course was in great shape and pace was good for being a packed Saturday. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only complaint is we were almost hit twice while on the tee box from wayward shots from other holes. It’s ok to suck, I suck too, but at least yell fore. Overall had a great time and I will be back.

My group of three had a fun round. This course is a very good par 3 design but a few improvements would make for a better experience. We wanted to hit balls at the range first but were delayed since the machine was out of balls. The attendant got us some balls but this delayed us and we were not able to hit but a few before we had to go find the first tee. I suggest better signage when you approach the par 3 course parking lot and fixing the tripping hazards and steps leading up to the starters shack which was evidently no longer in use.

The catwalk trail along the lake on #9 was awkward with a push cart and some are not so comfortable being at the waters edge for such a long way. Also better yardage markers on the tees. Also on #9, I hit an excellent shot only to find that the yardage on the card was wrong which left my ball short and wet. One last thing was signs leading you back to the cars would prevent people feeling like they were lost in the woods. It was a good expereince but with improvements, it could be great.

Great course, in great condition. Fun to play with my wife, who is still learning. (Aren't we all?) My only gripe is the 9th hole. It's tee, water, green, carrying 160 yds. Not a big deal, but I had only brought a few short clubs, OK with laying up when necessary. NO laying up on this hole! :)

took my girlfriend who’s a very new golfer to play this par 3 course, and was told at the pro shop it was no pace of play and a great place to learn! about halfway through taking our time people infront and behind us we were verbally assaulted by a course regular about how slow we were going, the pro shop was very friendly and helpful towards the situation that happened but just really made it hard to focus on the last few holes, all and all still had a great time and i’d definitely play these courses here again

I chose to play here for my first "on course" experience after a long layoff due to an injury.

Reading the description of the course, I expected a bigger mix of 'short and long". Really there were very short (under100 yd) and short(100-130) yds with the exception of the 9th hold which requires a 160 carry over water to a landing are that was a very small green with woods and weeds all around.

Service at Chateau Elan is alway good. The gentleman maning the pro shop was helpful with directions and the practice areas and grill are excellent, but the par 3 is at another entrance so you drive back to it.

Conditions were poor for how lavish it’s marketed. Whole different area then regular golf courses.

We had several levels of golf ability so our day was meant to be fun and relaxing, not competitive. For that it was perfect. The course is beautiful. Has some great water obstacles. It’s a walking course so we have our pushcarts was great. There was not a bathroom close by so prepare for that :-) I believe you can get to one up in the main château, but we did not go there.

We will definitely be going again

Perfect for short game and it’s a great experience.
