Rating 73.1

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.

Love the course and layout- received no notification of aeration

Love Chateau Elan Woodlands- layout is great, challenging but fair. Played it many times. When I booked the tee time on Golf Now, no reference was made to the fact the greens were JUST aerated when I booked the tee time. Although we had a very enjoyable day, golf now should have alerted to the change on their web site.

Friday round

Played woodlands today, grass is getting greener by the day. Greens are slow compared to what they will be in a few weeks when they cut them. Course is in fabulous shape. Best public clubhouse in north Georgia! Can’t wait to play again!
