Chateau Elan Golf Club - Executive Par-3 Course

I've played this course at least 20 times. This was the first time in at least 6 months. It's a fun layout, good for practice. And the greens were in about the best condition I've seen in the last 10 years, but that isn't saying much. Usually these greens are pretty tore up, bumpy, hairy and not well cared for. They used to be pretty much unputtable. Most of them except 9, rolled very nicely and were pretty fast. The only issue is it seems there are some fungus spots around the edges of some and in the middle of the greens on others. $20 is too much for average conditions. The course conditions used to be a 1 or 2, they are now a 3 at best. There is almost no grass on tee #1 which is 90 yards. I'm generally not teeing up a 90 yard shot for practice so that is disappointing. And other boxes are not great either. This place is a good value for $10-12. $20 is silly even accounting for record inflation. Especially since there is nobody manning the course to get in or out or take $. And their used to be pull carts. They aren't there anymore either. So they are charging twice as much as before and giving you less.

Everything was great except the greens had been aerated and sanded hence the lower score for course conditions.

The greens are suffering due to player abuse and poor maintenance.

Beautiful golf course. 9 hole par 3. Nice undulations and rolling hills, lots of water and some bunkers. Longer par 3 when you play the back tees. Lake shot on the 9th hole is cool.

Fun to play, but expensive for a 3-par

The greens are getting.destroyed by bad golfers not fixing their ball marks. Education, signage and a Marshall would be nice.

Challenging Par 3 course. Only issue was to amount of ball marks on all the greens. Will come back again because we were not using it for putting but to work on our short game irons.

Bring your gap wedge and putter. Most shots less than 90yrds #1 45. No. 9 165 over water
