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.

Greens Smooth Pace Just Sad

Ladies and Gentlemen, if we have to play double for 5 hours, that’s just sad. Folks hitting 6 balls, taking 3 minutes to read a putt, no course Marshall in sight. Such a beautiful course and greens rolling so true but taking forever to play, can’t keep in rhythm. Saw lots of disgruntled folks leaving the golf course before completing the round. It’s Monday yes but someone needs to “police” pace of play. It’s just disappointing

Marshalls

Can we have course Marshall’s make rounds even during twilight, it’s criminal how slow people are playing to not finish a round even after more daylight hours. Just disappointing

Not a great value

I don’t normally write reviews, but thought it was worth noting a few things. I live 1/2 mile from these courses, but choose to drive 20-30 min to other course that offer a better value and are just as nice. I play a lot of golf, exclusively book thru Golfnow and consistently 2 out 3 times I play here, there is something wrong. Yesterday, range was closed, round was $50 for the last tee time where you might still get 18 holes in. Other courses max out at $50-60 for even prime tee times. Chateau is charging $100+ at peak times, which is crazy. Range balls are $8-9 a bucket when the range is open and food and beer at the golf grill is not cheap $7 for a 12oz can of beer. This overpricing is consistent across the resort property as well. I don’t think I’ll be back for a while.

Adequate

Nothing special but a serviceable track. Gems were in bad shape and low areas divot ridden. Solid layout that could be excellent if they improved the condition.

Aeration Alert!

For $75 I would at least expect a notification that the greens were recently aerated. No Beverage cart on a Saturday afternoon, the course does not go by the clubhouse at any point from hole 1 to 18, only 2 of the water kegs we came across had water in them and it was pretty warm that day. Dont waste the money until the greens come back!!!!!

Green is under Aeration

Great challenging layout but the Spring time aeration on the green frustrates the putting.

Might be worth the rate in the Summer

Greens were fun. Moving nicely but spent most of the time fixing ball marks.

Winter off season at Woodlands

Wow. Spectacular course, beautiful layout. Fairways are brown at this time of year, but greens were better than I expected.

I came down for a business trip from Canada, and played Woodlands in the morning, and Château in the afternoon. Both courses are different, but I really prefer Woodlands over the Château course. Short frost delay in the morning, but basically nobody on the course.

The double cheeseburger lunch at Sarazens restaurant was fantastic as well.
