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.

Minimal Effect Management

So let me start by saying that I play across the state, also I have played Woodlands before, but today was a rough day for the price. When paying over $100 for a round there are certain levels of service anticipated. Below are two main issues:

1: Give it was a Sat mid day we only saw a cart girl on #4 and on #17. Tough when you do not have a half way house on this course.

2: MAIN ISSUE- on 14 we had two separate groups drive right through us for a mid day scramble tournament. Little to no consideration to golfers on the course.

Just tough to accept for such a prestigious course, for that rate on a Sat morning round!

A day out

The fairways and Teebox were in great condition. The greens have just been punch, so that I understand. The pace of play was horrible. We were a twosome, in front of us with another twosome. We only played 15 holes then we quit. I love the course I love condition, a little help with the pace of play it will be an outstanding place

Never disappoints!

The course is in great condition, tee boxes have recovered & looking excellent. We enjoyed the round, experience & the staff! We didn't appreciate the group in front of use constantly dragging their feet on the greens & not fixing the mess they left behind. This is not on the course but rather this is on the golfers.....they should have been more respectful!

Nice course.

First time playing this course. Just getting a practice round in before this Saturday. Tournament location for Golfweek Am. Atlanta. Overall the course was in great shape.There were some holes that required precise tee shots or you will get blocked out on the next shot. Played long because of the rains. The only thing I didn’t like was the non repair of the pitch marks. Can’t stand that.
