Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Chateau Elan boasts three public courses, two championship courses and a nine-hole course, as well as a private golf club, The Legends. The Woodlands Course is one of the public courses. It is considered the most scenic of the three championship layouts with stunning views of the north Georgia foothills and a landscape of sparkling lakes and towering trees. Of the two public championship golf courses, the Woodlands is considered to be slightly more challenging thanks to several tree-lined holes that require a fair amount of accuracy. The rolling terrain provides plenty of elevation changes, so be prepared for some tricky blind shots. The lakes and ponds dotting the course come into play on several holes as well. Although it enjoys a beautiful mountain setting, Chateau Elan is conveniently only 40 minutes from Atlanta.

Adequate
Nothing special but a serviceable track. Gems were in bad shape and low areas divot ridden. Solid layout that could be excellent if they improved the condition.
Aeration Alert!
For $75 I would at least expect a notification that the greens were recently aerated. No Beverage cart on a Saturday afternoon, the course does not go by the clubhouse at any point from hole 1 to 18, only 2 of the water kegs we came across had water in them and it was pretty warm that day. Dont waste the money until the greens come back!!!!!
Bargain price
Special discounted price $40 due to aeration. That was fine. Great weather and a geeat day on the course.
Green is under Aeration
Great challenging layout but the Spring time aeration on the green frustrates the putting.

Winter off season at Woodlands
Wow. Spectacular course, beautiful layout. Fairways are brown at this time of year, but greens were better than I expected.
I came down for a business trip from Canada, and played Woodlands in the morning, and Château in the afternoon. Both courses are different, but I really prefer Woodlands over the Château course. Short frost delay in the morning, but basically nobody on the course.
The double cheeseburger lunch at Sarazens restaurant was fantastic as well.

Great course
Great course as always and only thing keeping me from 5 star is the price during winter is a bit heavy. Need a tiered price structure. One for resort guests and one for locals. It would certainly help all those open tee time on a Saturday. Greens in great shape and staff as always very helpful. Young lady with the beverage cart was excellent. I will be back but hopefully with a lower price
Played chateau even though I booked woodlands
Love the layout and the greens. Solid pro shop and bar area. Pace of play was outrageous! No marshal on a Saturday. Called the pro shop twice and no one answered. Tee’d off at 12:30 and barely finished. 5 hour and 10 minute round is unacceptable. Barely saw the beer cart twice; hole 2 and 16. I expect more out of a “premium” course. I do love the course itself though. The starter was very friendly, but she haphazardly let’s us tee off 30 minutes early on a course we didn’t book - that can’t help the pace of play.
