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.

No water on course in 92 degree weather. No Cart Girl

They had a GSGA event, they said they had no extra carts when I checked in, however they gave all of the spectators their own cart to follow the event, many were just 1 person in the cart. Poor management for a resort course.

Hidden gem!

What a great round!

It had been a while since I had played the Woodlands at Chateau Elan, but last Friday 14JUL2023 was a hoot!

The fairways are in excellent conditions... the grounds gave us rookies a great chance to hit pure shots. The greens were in perfect condition; if anything just a bit soft, but rolling pure.

I did have a chance to hit the beach twice, but coming out of the sand was easy with well groomed and soft and sifted sand. NICE!

Pace of play was on point for a Friday afternoon. Strongly recommend you don't sleep on playing Woodlands...!

Note - They have a killer patio and bar for a 19th hole... the staff is friendly!!

Good value

Woodlands course is challenging but fair with plenty of playable holes. A few novelty holes. We got ahead of the mowers for the rough which probably only gets cut once a week, so, until we got ahead of that, rough was nasty. Could use some more water coolers or at least a drink cart on these hot summer days but overall I was satisfied with the course. I’m a member at TPC Sugarloaf, so I don’t expect the same conditions but this course exceeded what I expected. Good time of year as it’s raining a lot

Perfect Course with Imperfect Pace of Play

Ranger needs to be available all the time. It’s stressful to play 5 hours as a pair. Just utter disrespect from young boys. Please reinforce etiquette

Terrible Service

We had an afternoon tee time on July 4th and as soon as we got there it started off on the wrong foot. The guy working the pro shop desk was very rude about getting us paid and signed in. He forced us to walk back out to the front of the clubhouse to tell him the golf cart number we were in. When we told him the cart number, he told us we were wrong and to go check again. Went back out and checked again and yet the number on the cart did not change from the time we walked in the pro shop. Very bad customer service. He then proceeded to tell us that we would have beverage cart throughout the round and water coolers on the course. The beverage cart did not come through a single time in the four hour round, mind you it was over 90 degrees during the round and the course does not take you back to the clubhouse at the turn.

The course was in great shape but the groups in front of us were playing very slowly as well as no one repaired any ball marks. Our group had to repair several greens in order to make a putt. Also, the golf carts have GPS that prevents you from driving in restricted areas, but would stop the cart several times through the round when we were on the cart path.

Great day of golf

Chateau elan does things right. From the counter staff the golf cart attendants to the starter to the beverage cart person and the waitstaff at the restaurant in the club house it was awesome. All were great. I think a great value for 78 bucks the day before this nation Independence Day. I felt appreciated. I only wish they have a veteran military retiree discount. But I am not complaining. After the match the wings and Tito’s and cranberry were awesome. Bout a new golf shirt and pool

Mug were a little pricey but nice. Will do it again as soon as possible
