Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

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.

As always fun to play. Great layout, friendly staff, and no one on the course. But greens had been recently aerified so not the best.

Played the Chateau Elan resort course yesterday. It was in good shape overall but unfortunately the greens had been sanded the day before and we weren’t aware. Wish we had known.

The course it’s pretty peaceful to play at and the cost is very reasonable. However it needs a little TLC. The greens have too much sand, some of the sand bunkers have been abandoned and the path around the 9th hole and back to the parking needs to be paved. Oh btw go early there’s only parking for just a few cars. Parking needs more spaces.

Many golfers sneek onto the course from the hotel parking lots without paying.

Unfortunately players do not repair their ball marks on the greens.

A few signs reminding golfers of their responsibilities and instructions on how to pay and check in might help.

Buckets of sand on the tee boxes would allow players to repair their divots.

Knew ahead the greens were punched but it was not that bad. Pace of play was only bad because a foursome in front of us lost steam during the round and really should have played from the whites. A ranger did tell them to speed up the pace as we were 20 mins behind. Fairways in great shape, tee boxes decent, and Sarazen's is always good and reasonably priced. Worth $59 on a Sunday

Price to play here has gotten ridiculous. Nice course, but not worth the price.

Sand everywhere and just punched. No notification from the course or Golfnow prior to booking or I wouldn’t have played it. Has potential to be a good course if the greens were in average shape
