Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course

The course has improved. New sand traps, better mowing practices are some of the most obvious
Evidence of additional improvements are underway in several areas as you play.
The last 18 months of efforts are beginning to show results.
Thank you

I wanted Instagram nearly every hole!! The views are great and the condition of the course was simply perfect. I have a new favorite place to play!!

I was the first player at 7:00 am in the woodland course, so there was too much morning dew on the green. But even though there were drop of dew, i was not disappoint the course conditions. Because it was the various challenging hole. Every hole you make a different strategy. Absolutely I want to play this course not chateau course.

Udes to play here quite often, will have to resume!, it has improved.

in good shape challenging to play, John at the counter is great and so are the other ladies , great place

The greens were in excellent shape, but the course needed some work. We played the Woodlands and the fair and tee boxes needed some work, especially the fairways. Still very wet in lot of spot, not much green, making hard to locate the ball, and need a cut. Played in the afternoon, so food selection was slim to none.

Definitely worth checking it out, little challenging

I don't know if they're running into financial troubles but upkeep, especially on the greens is poor. A good track but only play there if you get a really good deal. Not worth the regular green fees.

Everyone here was super helpful and polite. I'm looking forward to my next round at chateau Elan.

The greens are incredible. Changes in elevation dictate excellent ball speed without the surface itself being too slick.

There's water everywhere but it wI'll only challenge the most inept players. If you have a decent, predictable shot then swing away!

Hit em straight!

Course has a good layout. Definitely more challenging than sister-course (chateau). Most of the greens are in excellent shape - 2 or 3 need minor work. Tee boxes and fairways in good shape. 90% of the bunkers are in very bad shape. As long as you don't get into the bunkers it's worth playing.

Beautiful place to play. There are no holes that are next to other holes. Some bunkers were still under construction but still great. Gorgeous scenic views with great houses. Most of the holes make you feel like your out in the woods on a hike. Cant wait to play there again.

Tees, Fairways, Greens in great shape...a few bunkers held water in spots that had dried to a wet clay/sand mixture...a bit of maintenance or construction on #8 GS bunker....course was in fine shape overall...greens rolled a nice speed...don't be heavy handed here.

It's been a few years since I played here. On the layout...short, tight, and tree lined, coupled with undulating greens make this a tough 18. I'm playing to an 8.8 index currently on tracks sloped 125 to 130, shooting 77 to 80 the last month...barely broke 90 (87) here.

Conservative is the rule of thumb here...example #1 starts you out with a fairly easy tee ball on a par 5, but nearly all of the shortish par 4 holes have blind doglegs at or near the 150 marker...because you can't see the landing areas that often...the safe play is to leave the driver in the bag and play to the 150 marker. Trying to get to a shorter approach is dicey.

Hot deal made it a 5 star value, will be back...a little wiser next time.

The course was in poor condition. All of the bunks have been let go as they are redoing them over the next year. Workers on the course were an obstacle. Many of the greens had dirt patches.

Solid first time experience at Chateau Woodlands course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were mostly well maintained. Nice layout with a variety of hole styles, sand, woods and water. A few holes were actively under construction though, and that can be tough to play through.

Overall a great track. I'd play it again. Especially once the construction is done....

the course was in fairly good shape but many greens had blemishes and bald spots being treated

Course was in good shape fairways were cut and not many out on the course. The greens were a little ruff on some holes but probably from all the play. Other than that great course. Oh I did play the Chateau course rather than the Woodlands because of aeration to the greens.

We have played this course for years and found it to be an exceptional value, well conditioned and courteous staff. The course drains nicely after it rains and the greens are in good shape. The bunkers have been steadily improving but a few should be designated as 'ground under repair'.

This course once was a very nice course. I was ashamed to have invited a friend out as the Bunkers were absolutely horrible and there were limbs down all over the place and the fairways not in the best of shape. Really disappointed and to be frank would not have been worth $20.00 per round nor will I go back. Very disappointed. I played the Woodlands.

Overall I enjoyed my round. The pace of play was great, I played mid day on a Friday. The course was in good condition. The fairways were great, the greens were a little slow and spotty but, very playable. My only complaint would be the sand traps. They are full of rocks and are unplayable. I will be back to play this course again.

The Woodlands course is a very good layout and one where you can use every club in the bag. There are a few tight driving holes and lots of up and downhill lies. The greens are good but with many ball marks and the sand traps were in awful condition because of the recent rains. Tee boxes and fairways are excellent. A little pricy at rack rate but a first rate facility overall.
