Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

this course has changed for the worse

1)expect to see incompetent yet condescending lady working behind the counter

2)ball collectors and 2/3 off the tee golfers that slow down play

3)the worst gps carts in metro Atlanta that turn off when you are 1 ft away from the fairway

4)ball mark ridden greens

5)leaves everywhere in the fairway

unless you live in this area i suggest you go elsewhere

Greens are excellent and clearly better on the chateau course but the practice green was way faster than the course. Some fairways suffering from lack of rain. Bunkers were nice

The course has many tight and then open holes off the tee but there are many creeks running through the course which offer a challenge and is a second shot course.

Holes 6 - 8- 9 -10 - 16 are pretty average.. Best holes are 2, 3- 11-12-13-14 -17..

Love the food at the clubhouse again..

imagine being on a par 4 approx. 380 yards. There's a 4-some on the green. A 3-some in the middle of the fair. my two-some on the Tee box and a group waiting behind us. We teed off at 8:30am and it quickly became apparent it was going to be like this all day. no one was ahead of the 4-some on the green and they played really slow. The 3-some behind them eventually became 1 as 2 of their group quit and had enough. It would stack up like this on just about every hole and the 4some group certainly had to be aware and yet would not let anyone play through nor speed up themselves. very frustrating especially paying a premium so you wouldnt have conditions like that ruin it for everyone.

Doesn’t seem like they care for the conditions on the par 3 course like they used to.

No amenities available on the par 3.

Course heavily covered in leaves on some holes. Bunkers not raked, and tee boxes were rough.

Staff at the clubhouse are great.would be nice to come directly to the par 3 course without having to go the 18 hole courses clubhouse first.

The pace reminders stole joy from the day. We had great weather, an early start, no one pushing behind us, but the constant reminder of our pace not keeping up made us experience unnecessary pressure. The downside of technology.

Drove 1 hr to play but they just canceled my reservation without any notice. They are saying ‘sorry we canceled it as we have a tournament. GolfNow will refund accordingly.’ Never seen this poorly managing customer service and not sure how I can get compensated by wasting my holiday and time for golf I planned for visitors from foreign countries!

The entrance to the course signals you are entering a upscale facility

Clubhouse is tasteful and lunch at clubhouse was excellent

Blackened mahi mahi tacos

Service is excellent

However the golf course left me underwhelmed

Bent greens were like putty and much slower than Chateau course

Bad shots would stop dead on the greens and no risk of bouncing over

This is despite extremely dry conditions of late

Par 3 - 2nd is brutally hard but then holes 3 thru 6 were dull

Par 5 8th is outstanding hold

13 to 15 are great as well...

Still for the cost of a game mid week.. it was reasonable

The only thing I didn't like was the players following me were playing hard and I felt pressured.
