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.

Great test of the game
The course provides a terrific challenge and you’ll need as many shots as you can come up with. Great course.
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!

Course is in excellent late winter / early spring shape. The greens are good but a tad slow. Pace of play was excellent, under 4 hours! Get out and enjoy!

Over priced
Hey guys, love the course and restaurant in clubhouse. But you can’t charge $90 for Friday afternoon and have the following issues;
Old golf carts that don’t work. One group was pushing theirs back to the clubhouse as we hit the first tee. Our golf cart brake didn’t work. We had a pile of branches, chunks of asphalt, and rocks stashed in the cart to use as brakes under our tires. One tire was bald. Huge safety risk. I told the cart guy and he showed me how to delicately apply the brake which he could only do once in every 5 attempts.
The course wasn’t in great shape for $90. Maybe $60 value. Mole traps placed around a couple tee boxes which were destroyed.
Halfway house has a sign that says “snacks”. There weren’t any and no attendant their selling food or anything.
A lot of maintenance is needed around cart path and Pine straw and grass. It’s been rutted out all over.
Again, for the price, you’ve got to reinvest to make the course match that price.

Overall good
Booked on the Woodlands course but when I arrived it was closed (not sure why). At least three groups were lined up to start in the Chateau course. Must have merged all tee times from two courses to one. Would have been nice to have known this prior to arrival. So pace of play was slower than would have expected. But overall course is good shape considering its mid-February. Greens are excellent.
Hello, tommygowens. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Good course, but not a $90 course
Gold tee boxes were well kept, and the fairways were nice as well. More people needed to sand their divots, but I think that’s everywhere. I also found it frustrating how many tees had tree limbs directly in line with the fairway.
The range was nice, and they gave me a free token because of a frost delay.
The greens had many pitch marks, but the green side/fairway bunkers were raked and pristine.
This is definitely a $60 course, but not worth $90.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, samuelpbowie. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Treat Yourself
If you enjoy a challenge play the Woodlands course. You won’t be disappointed. If you enjoy mountain golf. You won’t be disappointed. If you enjoy high end Georgia architecture. You won’t be disappointed. If you enjoy casual dining with high end service at golf course. You won’t be disappointed. If having your clubs loaded and unloaded is important to your round go elsewhere. Carts are old and staff is minimal but very friendly. Supply chain delays has held up new carts with GPSs but received free yardage book and lady in pro shop helped load our cart. Member at putting green explained differences of their two 18 courses. We’ll be back to play the tournament Chateau course.
Hi, chemizer. 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.
Great day to play
Course is great. Great condition. Greens are fast and true. Layout is really difficult, sometimes unfair. Lots of water in play and there isn’t any pictures of the holes at tee boxes or on the scorecard. You should play with someone familiar with the course.

A day out
The course was in good condition for mid December. The greens rolled true and were in good shape. The course had a few tight holes, and called for strategic placed shots. I really like the course and would recommend it to others.

Greens are in awesome condition. Price is a little steep, but compared to a lot of the garbage out there it’s worth it.
