Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

This course never disappoints. I make the trip to Georgia every July and make sure to play here. The course was hit by a severe storm the night before. I had the first time of the morning. Staff was there early to make sure the course was in great shape and very playable for my group.

Nice course pretty well kept. Construction near portions of the course was noisy and dusty. One of our partners golf cart front linkage either broke or came unattached almost causing a wreck into a tree. Several bare spots with hard pan and rocks close to fairways. Only saw cart person once. Prison staff was very friendly and helpful. Greens were soft so many ball marks that were not repaired. Expected better for the price.

When green fees are $100+, I expect certain things. One, greens should be fast. Yes, they were aerated a couple weeks ago but they haven’t been rolled and play incredibly slow. Also, when green fees are $100+ I expect free range balls. That being said, I enjoyed playing the course. The traps were pristine. I would play again.

The greens haven’t fully recovered from being aerated a few weeks ago. Good layout and nice course.

Fantastic course.

Grass range.

Multiple putting greens.

Tee boxes-perfect

Fairways-perfect

Rough and extended areas- very good. Little dry but it’s Georgia summer. Stay in play and it won’t be an issue.

Greens- punched several weeks ago but still rolling great. Made several putts outside 10’.

Pace was ok. One slow group a few groups ahead of us but finished in 4 hours 10min.

Good course design. Had some turns, some water, lot of well placed bunkers that we found. Not a whole lot of elevation change for Georgia but not a bad thing.

Top tier course all around.

Been here a few times. Seems to always be a decent pace of play.

Must okay to appreciate. Great course and great staff and service.

Chateau Elan Chateau course is a great course. Pace of play is great, finished our round in 4 hours 20 minutes. Layout is awesome. Course is maintained very well. The greens were punched which was a bit of a bummer. The course is in great condition. Staff at the proshop is very friendly.

For a course as expensive as this, to not communicate that their greens were punched is just ridiculous. Took my father and brother out for Father's Day. Drove an hour to get there. We find out when we get to the 1st green that they were punched. Putts were rolling all over the place.

Zero communication on the course website or on GolfNow/Teeoff about it.

I complained the next day and GolfNow says you should have stopped playing and called us for a refund. Nothing they can do about it now. Disgraceful.

Awesome course even with a couple days after aeration. Will be back for sure. Thank you for the hospitality.
