Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course
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.

Rough Conditions
Tees are ok but some have bare spots
Fairways are almost brown from the lack of rain and watering.
Greens are soft, green and slow. The staff member who cut them forgot to cut the outside of the greens.
Yes, it’s true we have had very little rain but really disappointed with the overall conditions of the course. The greens fees should be reduced as a result!
Cool course
Course was great. Greens were a little slow and the staff was a little odd. Loved the unique hole layouts.
Disappointed
Maybe understaffed, but left a lot to be desired. No cart staff upon arrival. One very nice lady checked us in, but on Sunday morning it was packed and she had no help. Most indifferent cart girl I have run across. Bathroom on the course was disgusting. We had to fix about a half dozen ball marks on every green. No one seemed to fix or rake traps there! Like the course but sure seems to have gone downhill since I played there a couple of years ago. Kind of depressing to see. Not the standards I think Chateau Elan wants to set for the money.
Great Day with My Son
Great day! Lunch in the clubhouse. Golf. Dinner at Paddy’s. Will do it again!
Enjoy the Woodlands & Troon Courses
Tee'd it up at one of my favorite Atlanta tracks and dodged some rain but worth it. Great afternoon rate, course was in top condition from Tee to Green. Troon courses are always a pleasure to play. Remember, fix your divot and also another you see to keep the greens nice. If you take care of the course, the course takes care of you!
Great course conditions
Entire course was in great condition, from the tee boxes all the way to the putting green. Excellent place, always a pleasure.
Great Shape
Course was fantastic and the employees from the Marshall to your restaurant were outstanding.
One thing is recommended is get the cart girl and new cart. Something updated , looks like she is driving a 76 Buck Regal. Also it would be nice to have more cart girls.
Pace of playing
The people in front of us playing so slow every hole and practice shots. Better go to range for practice. Not on the course.
Horrible staff and club
Chateau has increased their rates, but they dont deserves the current rate due to staffs attitude.
Not worth it to play at chateau for that money, thete are much better places around chateau elan
It was no good
The tee-up was at 1 o'clock on April 23rd, but we were stuck in the middle of the tournament group, so it was very difficult to wait. It was really unpleasant to put it in during a tournament time.
Great Track a short drive from Atlanta
I have played the chateau course before and loved it so figured it was time to the give the woodlands a chance… the course exceeded expectations. Great conditions and a fun layout that takes you up and down hills. A couple tee shots reminded me of what I see at Augusta on TV. Clubhouse is great and the food it top notch, wish they had a snack station out on the course. Make sure to either stay at the resort or stop by it after the round for a great day.
WHAT A JOKE !!!
Played Woodlands course Green Aerated with NO Notification paid $75 for a piece of crap course, Actually came back to play a second time after paying $50 without greens airates 2 weeks ago. Château line should be ashamed of themselves for charging $75 with such poor course conditions was going to join prior to this, but will never come back again.
