Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

The courses at Chateau consistently provide good conditions. While February is not the best time of the year to rate any course, conditions were more than acceptable for winter. Playing late twilight, the course was wide open allowing me to play 9 holes in 80 minutes. Price was a little high for the amount of golf I could squeeze in. A super twilight time would be nice, but that’s probably not going to be something you’ll see at a Troon managed course.

Great staff, very accommodating. Soon as I get there they allow me to go straight out, finished round in three hours. Great course, looking forward to playing it in the summer when the grass is green. Nice consistent greens.

There were 3 groups in front of me. It was too slow after Hall #9 making me wait for almost 10 minutes for the rest of the course. I think the tee times should be controlled more accurately.

No ranger on course even though we called an hour plus before we finished. 5 hour round and should have been an hour plus shorter. Slow pace was ridiculous.

I love this course and layout. It’s always in great shape but it’s a little over priced compared to some of the other courses around that’s in as good or better shape. Greens were good not fast but good. They did have a lot of divots not repaired. 4 out of 5

No Starter

Confusing start time

Angry and mad player due to frost delay and start time

For a nice neighborhood course, terrible experience with staff and people

We were on pace for a 5.5 hour round.

Only played 13 holes in just over 4 hours. Painfully slow. nobody monitoring course all day. Then around 5 they put a message out, Return Carts????

Wow they love rubbing salt into a sore.

I find the course layout okay, though the lack of a flat lie in a fairway can be frustrating. Generally light on staff, and encountered really annoying technology (GPS) glitches with the carts.

Greens were in pretty decent shape. It rained two days ago and the course was still very wet so it was cart path only. We were in the very middle of the cart path and our carts would shut off (this happened at least 40 times and we would have to reverse back down the path that we were already on). I recommend driving the entire path in reverse so you don’t eat the windshield.

Addressed to the Pro Shop: get Ray Charles to re-adjust the gps system to actually make the cart fee worth it
