Ball marks

The greens are getting.destroyed by bad golfers not fixing their ball marks. Education, signage and a Marshall would be nice.

Disappointed!

For 92$ and this being a discounted price I was totally dissatisfied. I have played this course for cheaper and in better shape!

The greens were beat up! probably because they were so soft.Not from the rain.

The sand traps had bermuda grass growing into the edges about 4 to 6 inches. Needed trimmed out. Plus the traps were not raked out. Looks like they haven’t been touched in weeks.

The second cut was so high!

It was a Friday morning! I would think thats when the course should look its best! Getting ready for the weekend.

No cart helpers at the bag drop!

92$ Really??

I won’t be back to llay any of the courses at Chateau Elan.

Really nice course.

This course exceeded expectations. It was in fantastic condition, greens in great shape, the pace of play was fast. We might have waited on two holes during a Saturday morning. Look forward to playing again as well as checking out the other courses here.

Challenging Par 3 course. Only issue was to amount of ball marks on all the greens. Will come back again because we were not using it for putting but to work on our short game irons.

Let me explain

The course was in very rough shape due to the large amounts of rain we received lately. I get that. Sand washed completely out of bunkers with 2 foot deep potholes, washout and mud all throughout fairways, and maintenance crew out in full force. There in lies the problem for me. I went off at 8:20 AM and had maintenance crew on eight of my 18 holes. And I wasn’t following the same guy around, that’s just how much work was going on. And if there’s this much work that needs to be done, I personally would rather you guys close the course for the day to get it right and done in a timely manner instead of being a distraction or nuisance to the customer, especially for the price it is to play here. And at the very least, give us a heads up in the pro shop. I don’t think the cart path only sign gave enough explanation as to what we were to experience this round. I love Château and will continue to give them my money. I frequent the range multiple times a week, enjoy the multiple putting greens and practice facility, love the Woodlands and the par three course. Looking forward to another chance to experience the château course in all of its glory..

An very underrated course --- Reality is it's beautiful and challenging!

I played the Woodlands course. It's absolutely beautiful! The overall conditions are very good except 1 or 2 tee boxes need some improvements. Like other GA courses in the area, the undulating greens are soft and smooth but a little too slow. I am not sure why they don't make the beautiful greens faster to increase the level of fun and challenges. Given the softness of the greens, it's easy to make a big ball mark, players should fix their ball marks. The course also gives a preview of the beautiful big houses surrounding the course. A recommendation for playing the GA (or mountainous) courses is to have a range finder with the slope feature; otherwise, you will struggle with estimating the approach shot distances---ask me how I know about this.

Unpleasant treatment?!

We were group of 4 players plus my girlfriend was with us from out of town visiting, so we needed an extra 3rd golf cart! I was very unhappy of their $35 additional charge for the extra golf cart?? Most golf courses don’t charge.. This unusual & unexpected outrageous charge shows how greedy & unwelcoming we were treated.

Green speed too slow & didn't mention the green airorated. Practice ranger balls not allowed for the players. Only one rest thru 18 holes, no water stand, and no trash can. Electric cart stock on the fairways then allowed reverse only several times.

Pricey

Played the Château course twice on Father’s Day weekend. Found it to be a bit pricey based on the condition of the greens. They were still recovering from aeration and sanding a few weeks earlier. Pace was a bit slow but not terrible. Good food and drinks at Sarazan’s.
