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.

Winter golf
Keep it straight - the leaves in the rough are wack
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course.
One if my favorite tracks
The course has always been one of the best public course layouts in GA. If we didn’t have a slow foursome in front of us it would have been even better.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course!
Even better than usual
The course was in really good condition given it's late October. Found the perfect gap so I did not run into another group until hole 14 and finished the round in under three hours.
Great layout, reward/risk, some holes are easier to give you a breather after tough holes, beautiful.
the pro shop person was super nice.
Woodlands did a great job Golf Now failed
Showed up for our tee time with the email that said we had an 8:06 tee time. Course tells us we didn’t. That put us off on the Tradition 9 holes and we had to play that 9 twice since there was no other room on the tee sheet. Course accommodated us but GolfNow screwed up and left us hanging.
First off
Good track, tough to play as first tmier. Good gps in cart. Not worth $100.
Hello, bldyer405. Thank you for visiting us at Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Must maintain pace of play
Wonderful course and amenities. Greens were punched but very playable. Rest of course immaculate - rough is punishing.
Had to quit after 2.5 hour front 9. Drove in to find that slow foursome in front of us were 4 holes behind.
No Marshall. Great active Cart GPS that was not set up to maintain pace of play.
Love the course, but the tourists here make the pace of play a regular issue.
Greens aerated recently and not noted
Course could ordinarily be good, but greens were aerated this month and not well taken care of. That would be ok, but we paid $70+ and it was not noted when we booked (the day prior). Price should have been discounted and recent aeration should have been listed as other courses do

Woodlands
Once a grand golf course, now, the greens are about gone the overall maintenance is being ignored, bunker washed out (#2)weeds abound throughout It looks like a course that has been sold and no one is puttin any money into it. It is a shell of its former self. Honestly, after seeing it today I would not play it if it was free I am so sad to have to write this

No alert about aerification!
We played at Woodlands course on 9/7/22 and when we made a reservation on GolfNow, there was no alert or notification to warn us that the course just had an aerification on all greens. Check in person in pro shop didn't even mention when we got there and we found out when we reached our first green. Aerification holes were rather big and no sands were on greens so all greens were bumpy and it was hard to make putts. There was no purpose of reading greens because balls were bouncing off to all directions. I wouldn't play here until late September.

Disappointing greens for the price
Great course, but I was let down by the condition of the greens. Many of them had black patches.
