Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course

This is a resort course with an executive, medium, and all you can handle Woodlands. ALL layouts are impressive, challenging, and will have you thinking do I have time for another round.
Staff is beyond kind and helpful. Truly helpful, not the plastic, salty concern you may get elsewhere. Wonderful people. Some greens have been affected, weather wise, but not to effect your roll. A must play.

Love playing this course. Greens were on rough shape yesterday.

I've played here before many times and it is a really nice course: friendly staff, great set up, & well maintained. But on Labor Day 2015, it wasn't as usual. Greens had been aerated and very bumpy. Two groups ahead of us were very slow and had no idea about pace. Two groups behind us quit playing. There was no ranger to keep them going. It happens. It still a good course. Maybe I should play on weekdays.

I've played the Chateau Elan Woodlands course several times and the greens this past weekend were in terrible shape - the worst greens I've ever played on, I believe. It would have been easier putting on a gravel driveway.

These were the worst greens that I have played on all year long. Based on the conditions you would have thought it was early spring and not late summer. I will give them another chance but it will be next year.

confition was worst ever in my short golf life.
greens are patchs and weeds all over the place.
grass was not blown from the fairways.
needs more TLC.
not worth for $50 at all.

Greens were not in good condition... May have been a disease that effected them recently. A lot of ball marks that were not fixed by golfers that effected the greens as well. Fairways were in decent condition.

Good round at Chateau Elan Woodlands. The course is in great shape though the greens are suffering with heat and the play. The bunkers are fantastic and it's the best sand in the Atlanta area. Though it's a little out of the way from Atlanta, it's worth the drive and the course is challenging.

I have played both courses and enjoy the layout.. Staff and pace of play... But this time 8/10/15 the greens were unplayable... They have some rot or fungus... Can not recommended until the greens are fixed.. Maybe cool weather will bring a change

Ps this was a supper deal for 23$ other wise would have quit after 3rd hole and asked for refund

This course at this time has greens in severe disarray. They are burned out, bumpy and difficult to putt on. The tee boxes need repairs and upgrading. The pace of play on this Saturday was slow and could have been addressed by the ambassadors. The weather was rather hot and there was only one beverage cart working the 18-hole course. Water coolers with cold water and cups were available every 3-4 holes. The fairways
were in decent shape.

Played today, Aug. 8, 2015. I really like the course and will likely play again. However, the greens are in poor shape with bare spots and black mold. The pace of play was super slow. Our foursome waited every shot and finished in 5hrs.

For a resort to have a course with burnt out greens and divot marks everywhere is ridiculous. If I was staying there for a getaway, I would be extremely disappointed at the conditions of both courses (1 was closed). I would not recommend going there for 2-3 night stay. The only good thing is the pace of play was great, probably because we were one of the first tee times og the day.

Greens very slow and the Bent grass in distress. the rest of the course in good conditions.

Nothing ruins a great experience like slow play. Excuses are many but move people along or pull them off, for faster players to play through. 5 1/2 hour round with 8:00 a.m. Tee time is unacceptable.

I'll return on a weekday, the staff is great the course has character.

I have to start my review by stating. "I was not happy with the condition of the greens". The rest of the course was in great condition. They have upgraded the bunkers and the sand in them good job. The fairways and the rough are very healthy. The greens seem to be on the brink of burning out. a lot of brown patches. The balls marks I blame on the inconsiderate golfers. More courses in Georgia need to return to mini verde Bermuda the summers are very harsh to bent grass greens. Great layout but I would wait until it cools down before I return

The course was in good shape and the greens were in better than good shape, Course was challenging , but could be gotten with your "A" game!!! Would definitely come back!

The Woodlands course offers it's challenges but the layout is very nice. I had a great golfing experience. The course conditions would have been perfect if the guests would take care of the greens by not dragging their feet and repairing ball marks. There were some kids playing in front of us that obviously missed a few classes on etiquette.

We had an enjoyable round of golf at Chateau Elan Woodlands course. This course proved very challenging for my high handicap game. Some areas were quite tight, and there were also a good number of blind shots. The course was in pretty good shape, but someone needs to teach people how to reapir their balll marks. I was surprised by the number that had been left with obviously no attempt to fix. Can't blame that on the course. The staff was excellent. Will probably play this course again.

I would suggest that you look at playing at another course.. I booked this via golfnow and was called later in the day say the course is overbooked a that my booking was cancelled. How can you trust a course that would cancel you reservation?

Excellent!!! What a course!! Played in a foursome and finished in 4 and 1/2 hours. Only problem is that is was almost 100 degrees!! Greens were in great shape. You can actually stick a ball in june!! Absolutely amazing experience!!!
