Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

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.
Great Course
Wide open on a Saturday which was great. You do however pay for that but the greens were fabulous and true. Fun layout.
Terrible!!!!
This course was a huge disappointment. Will not return. Got paired with Magic Mike fans, that played music so loud we could not talk to them.
Course conditions
For a ‘resort’ course
The Woodlands lacks in
A : Customer Service
No one to greet you on arrival or on finishing
C: Conditions
Greens were great on the positive side
Fast and true
On the negative rough around the edges of the fairways and dough
Lost of rocks and hard pan
Challenging layout but the tougher edges are hard on your coubs
Great as usual
Course was in fantastic shape in mid December. Nice greens, firm fairways.
