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.

Enjoyed the round!

The staff is always friendly & accommodating. The new carts are awesome! The are super clean with excellent GPS on board. Course conditions could have been better. The practice green was perfect, clean, fast & fun to putt & when we got on the course, the greens were slow, bumpy with brown blotches/stressed areas. It would be nice if the greens on the course matched the practice green. For the price of the "green fees" they should be better.

For my fellow golfers - Do your part to keep the course in great condition. if you don't know golf etiquette, get yourself accustomed to what is expected on the course or find another sport to play. Watched the group in front of us multiple times hit out of bunkers & never once raking. Which I landed in one of their foot craters on 18. As well as, leave an absolute mess on the greens dragging their feet & never once bending over to fix a ball mark. How do I know this? They defined a new definition of slow, just because you see the tour pros 5 minute pre-shot routine doesn't mean you should replicate. And, you are welcome for picking up your pitching wedge and giving it back (proper golf etiquette) you probably just forgot to say thank you!

Disappointed!

For 92$ and this being a discounted price I was totally dissatisfied. I have played this course for cheaper and in better shape!

The greens were beat up! probably because they were so soft.Not from the rain.

The sand traps had bermuda grass growing into the edges about 4 to 6 inches. Needed trimmed out. Plus the traps were not raked out. Looks like they haven’t been touched in weeks.

The second cut was so high!

It was a Friday morning! I would think thats when the course should look its best! Getting ready for the weekend.

No cart helpers at the bag drop!

92$ Really??

I won’t be back to llay any of the courses at Chateau Elan.

Great Course!

This is the first time I played it I had a blast. The fairway is a bit narrow in places but if you are driving straight you can score score well on course. I’m an 18 handicap and shot an 89. I have played the Chateau many times and I do prefer the woodlands because of course conditions and pace of play.

Tough layout in good shape

Woodlands is the less picturesque 18 at Chateau Elan & generally gets less play. It’s a tight layout with some blind tee shots & tight landing areas. On this day, the greens were really slow as they have been watering a ton to keep them in good shape. There are lots of fade tee shots around this course, so hope that is in your bag. Pace of play can be slow due to lots of ball searching & you are unlikely to see a Marshall. Number 9 does NOT come back to the clubhouse, so have food with you. I have never seen the mid point grill open.

One annoyance….many of the tee boxes were not built to point at the center of the fairway. Most often they point at the right rough. I really hate this being overly visual in my swing shape.

It’s a nice course & even better if you have a coupon. Can be really pricey on the weekend.

The Woodlands

Course was in really good shape. Teed off at 1:30 p.m. on a Sunday and never saw another group on the course. Was able to play in right around 3 hours. With the shape the course is in and the brisk pace of play it made for a very nice time.
