About

Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6735 yards
Slope 135
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.

Huge changes at the course - Decent conditions for Feb

Holes 8 though 12 were previously in a forest and how home construction is underway

Massive visual changes

I will say the views from 11th green are now amazing.. Who knew they were there

Course is decent condition for Feb.. Greens are faster than normal even..

Bare lies are to be expected...

Carts may be hosed down after play but certainly not washed. 30 carts lined up and couldn’t find a clean one.

No tees on the cart. Seems small, unless you need one.

Got stuck 3 times on cart path. Really. Sensor said I was in a no cart allowed area. Very frustrating to have to keep backing up to find the side of the path to go forward. Later warned by Ranger to pick up our 8 minute behind pace.

Cart paths are just dangerous. My group was all stunned to ride on such deteriorated asphalt paths.

Greens were great. All and all, for $180, not worth it.

Great layout

The course has a fun layout. The greens were recently punched within the last month so they weren’t as good as they can be. Great value though

Greens recently aerated

The course is overall in good shape but the greens were recently aerated and sanded. Once the grass comes back in this will be a great option at Chateau.

Putting green is the worst

The golf course layout was good, but the putting green had a lot of divots here and there and it was so bad. It was the worst golf course I've played recently. What a waste of money. It's a golf course I don't want to go to for the time being.

Amazed the greens are not worse

Cart path only given the rain

The greens are so soft that pitches make a huge mark.. However the greens are amazingly good.. perhaps the damage is so bad on pitch marks that people repair them

Good layout.. Wish they would trim trees on right on 16th tee..

The greens just need some TLC. The rest of the course is in great condition, but the greens looked a bit scarred up. I’m not trying to be negative either, they were rolling fairly well for the condition.
