Small but mighty

I played from the green tees and it felt short. I didn’t need driver a lot because of the short par 4s. That said, accuracy of the tee is rewarded but the fairways are pretty forgiving. You’ll just be hitting from an awkward lie but that’s Georgia golf.

The greens were impeccable. Not unrealistically fast but definitely moving. The best part was they were true. Every put was consistent. I’ll play it again just to putt on these greens.

The staff is what makes this place great! Very friendly, super helpful and kind.

Great Condition!

Course is in excellent late winter / early spring shape. The greens are good but a tad slow. Pace of play was excellent, under 4 hours! Get out and enjoy!

Over priced

Hey guys, love the course and restaurant in clubhouse. But you can’t charge $90 for Friday afternoon and have the following issues;

Old golf carts that don’t work. One group was pushing theirs back to the clubhouse as we hit the first tee. Our golf cart brake didn’t work. We had a pile of branches, chunks of asphalt, and rocks stashed in the cart to use as brakes under our tires. One tire was bald. Huge safety risk. I told the cart guy and he showed me how to delicately apply the brake which he could only do once in every 5 attempts.

The course wasn’t in great shape for $90. Maybe $60 value. Mole traps placed around a couple tee boxes which were destroyed.

Halfway house has a sign that says “snacks”. There weren’t any and no attendant their selling food or anything.

A lot of maintenance is needed around cart path and Pine straw and grass. It’s been rutted out all over.

Again, for the price, you’ve got to reinvest to make the course match that price.

Overall good

Booked on the Woodlands course but when I arrived it was closed (not sure why). At least three groups were lined up to start in the Chateau course. Must have merged all tee times from two courses to one. Would have been nice to have known this prior to arrival. So pace of play was slower than would have expected. But overall course is good shape considering its mid-February. Greens are excellent.

Hello, tommygowens. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve.

Disappointed

I give the course decent stars only because of nostalgia for the course. For the money Chateau Elan Resort brings in, the course has got to be better. I used to play the Chateau Course a lot years ago and the price was fantastic; especially in the winter season. Although it’s winter time, there were some rough spots on the course. Fairways had some bare patches in spots, sand lacking in some bunkers, greens were a touch slow but in good shape. Overall, Chateau needs to bring the price down or make sure the course is in great shape year around. Pick one or the other. Not to mention their halfway house is NEVER open. Good layout and nice houses to look at though. Also, the range is awful right now too, have you hitting off bare spots.

Good course, but not a $90 course

Gold tee boxes were well kept, and the fairways were nice as well. More people needed to sand their divots, but I think that’s everywhere. I also found it frustrating how many tees had tree limbs directly in line with the fairway.

The range was nice, and they gave me a free token because of a frost delay.

The greens had many pitch marks, but the green side/fairway bunkers were raked and pristine.

This is definitely a $60 course, but not worth $90.
