Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

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!

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.

I played here in the past and as always this course is in great shape the greens are immaculate and the staff was very friendly I love playing here when I get the chance and I'll suggest you play it too if you're a golfer who likes a challenge this course has a great layout.

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.

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.

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.

If you enjoy a challenge play the Woodlands course. You won’t be disappointed. If you enjoy mountain golf. You won’t be disappointed. If you enjoy high end Georgia architecture. You won’t be disappointed. If you enjoy casual dining with high end service at golf course. You won’t be disappointed. If having your clubs loaded and unloaded is important to your round go elsewhere. Carts are old and staff is minimal but very friendly. Supply chain delays has held up new carts with GPSs but received free yardage book and lady in pro shop helped load our cart. Member at putting green explained differences of their two 18 courses. We’ll be back to play the tournament Chateau course.

The course was in good shape considering the recent weather several courses in the area still had snow on them. That effected the pace of play which was to be expected plus they had a frost delay oh well still got to playgolf

Course is great. Great condition. Greens are fast and true. Layout is really difficult, sometimes unfair. Lots of water in play and there isn’t any pictures of the holes at tee boxes or on the scorecard. You should play with someone familiar with the course.
