Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

I wish I could have played better but cannot blame the course. Great layout and in great shape. The real time yardage screen on the cart was a great help.

Seems like a silly thing to mention but it was a very hot day and we played in the late afternoon. I have played courses where their water coolers were not refilled and either empty or warm. All coolers had plenty of water and the water was very cold. Taking care of the small stuff is impressive.

Great course, but I was let down by the condition of the greens. Many of them had black patches.

Last month everything was perfect. Yesterday, the greens need some serious help. Fungus... The pace would have been great but the couple in front of me just were way to slow and they didn't understand golf etiquette. Let me play through. And please fix your ball marks on the greens people.

Great layout! Well maintained tee boxes and fairways. Greens were rough. Might be due to rain and players not fixing ball marks but it was impossible to get a true roll. For a golf course that charges over $100 for morning tee times, would have expected a bit better green condition. Other than the greens, the course was beautiful. If they can get the greens rolling true, I could understand paying north or $100. Overall would give 7.9/10.

The greens are suffering due to player abuse and poor maintenance.

Many greens at Woodlands course have Fungus growing on them with wet and bald spots., which makes them hard to putt on. I brought up this issue to the club house after the round and they said, its just hot out there, which causes the Bentgrass to burn, so they water it often. That's not an excuse as several other courses have similar grass, but not the same issue. Instead of club house apologizing for these green conditions, these said.. play our other course (Chateau), to which I said, I'm NOT coming back to play here anytime soon.

Overall a good course, but overpriced for sure. I usually really enjoy Château, but the greens are starting to look like Collins Hill. Fungus has taken over and for $130, not what you would expect. The fairways and tee boxes are great and the staff was great. Really need to get some fans on those greens. It’s a shame that they have gone down hill.

Only negative was needed another cart lady out there in heat of the day. Did have cold waters in coolers every couple of holes. Excellent course. Pricey but wait for the reduced price after noon.

The greens were all pitch marked and in bad condition. The chateau course had better greens and is more fun

Slow pace of play was beyond acceptable

Crews working had no regard for players

Decent fairways but tons of bare areas with roots, rocks and wash outs

Cart pats filled with pot holes and roots pushing up. Very bumpy.

Lots of other places to play close by for less with better conditions

We started off with range tokens but there were no range balls. We played the first 7 holes with a sand trap maintenance crew as part of our group. Every fairway and green with a gas powered trap groomer. And another gas cart. They did not stop when we hit, putt or asked them to. We called the pro shop and they stopped them for a few holes then they rejoined our group for 5 more holes. It was very disturbing with the gas machine next to you for more than half the round. The pace of ply was totally unacceptable. I have never called a pro shop from the course, but today, we called twice. They said they would “ message” their cart but did not get any better. No. On course Marshal so we had a 5 hour and 45 minute round. Pretty miserable.

The woodlands course.. fairways are nice, the tee boxes were soggy from a morning rain. The areas around the fairways are poorly maintained with lots of dirt, gravel, roots and bare areas, etc.

We we checked in we were told they had one beverage cart for two courses, we never sw a beverage cart and there is no return to the clubhouse. A very hot day with no services.

A lot of money for not much in amenities

Won’t be back
