Chateau Elan Golf Club - Executive Par-3 Course

Fun little Par 3. Not super busy. Was able to take time and not feel rushed. Friend and I played the course in a little over an hour. Not all the greens were the same speed. Some slow. Some fast but overall good for a beginner like myself. Or if you want to work on your short game.

Great place to work on your short game. Would be nice to have 1 or 2 more holes between 150 & 200 yards. Since it's a walking course, maybe a bench or two to sit near a couple tee boxes?

Was a beautiful par 3 coarse would highly recommend to those capable of walking up and down hills, the greens were fast and great. Can’t wIt to play it again.

See star rating. This is a great course where one can practice for playing the main courses at Chateau Elan.

The associates were very friendly and course was in good shape.

Great par 3 to practice your irons and short game.

When you check in at the main clubhouse for the two 18 hole courses, you then have to drive 3 to 4 minutes away to get to the “Executive Course”. Because I asked, I was informed that pull carts are no longer available because of theft and that unless you have one with you that you will be carrying your clubs. When you arrive at the nine hole course, there is a very small building that is obviously abandoned, dilapidated, and completely unkept. There are no staff, greeters, or employees at all, unless you count groundskeepers. It wasn’t posted at the GolfNow site but everything but the greens were being punched and left dirt/mud clods all over the course. Would have been nice to know ahead of time so that I could visit in about a month when I’m sure the course will look significantly better and my shoes wouldn’t be compacted with mud. The greens were beautiful and extremely well-kept. However, all the traps were about as poor as they could get. BTW, when you finish nine holes you have a good 200 yard walk on barely maintain paths through the woods and the edge of the road up hills to get back to your car. With a little effort and attention from Chateau Elan to their “Executive Course” building, traps, pull cart security, walking paths/sidewalk, and notification of scheduled course maintenance, this could be an excellent Par 3 gem.

Played today and the greens were in better condition than they were when I played last year. Nice layout, great place to work on your short game. Longest shot was 165 today.

Played the 9 hole Executive course with a friend and my father in law on the 7th. Was great, But would’ve been nice to see a water station midway in course. Other than that was good day. Will do it again but with drinks in tow…..
