This was the #13 green if i'm not mistaken. Can see how nice the sand bunkers were and how nice the green was. Photo submitted by bryan6804634 on 09/16/2016

Chateau as always is very nice. Friendly and professional staff, great well maintained layout. Going to pay a little more here but worth the extra money which is the story behind the whole resort. Must admit I love everything about this place.
Fun Test
The course is a fun test for most ability levels as you might expect from a resort style course, although single digit handicaps likely won’t find the layout too intriguing. If you hit the mostly generous fairways, you’ll typically be rewarded with a good chance of hitting the green (i.e., “fun”). Definitely a couple difficult holes that can put you in a tight spot with elevation changes, but nothing that will have you saying “I’d take a bogey” when you’re standing on the tee.
It’s worth noting that the length of this course varies greatly with the tees and conditions. At almost 6500 yards for Par 71, the Green tee can play much longer than you’d expect if it’s wet, which it likely is most of the time in the morning given the low lying nature of a lot of the course. However, with the next tee forward, Gold, being 5900 yards, it begs the question as to why there is not a hybrid option utilizing both? Indeed, a 6200 yard hybrid tee would provide a good common ground for a lot of players between having to choose between driver/mid to long irons or driver/wedge all day. This would also help pace of play, and although that wasn’t an issue today, the course could certainly back up if the wrong group chooses to play longer due to the large variance in tee distance.
As to conditioning, the greens rolled nicely and were well kept, which was expected for the above-average price tag. The fairways could have been somewhat better, but likely a sign of the fall season and the rain a few days previous. In either event, its comfortably between a good municipal course and a mostly member, semi-private club, which is likely what they’re shooting for.
So, overall, it’s a nice facility and a solid tract. If the tee time makes sense and the location works, you definitely can book without hesitation. Glad I made the choice!
Slow play
Un Marshaled round.
Slow. Close to 5 hour round.
Decent conditions.
Ball marks needed to be repaired.
Get what you pay for.
Great course, great staff!
Greens rolled true and was setup somewhat difficult but both greens and fairways in great shape.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us 5 stars. We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the great course conditions. We work hard to provide an exceptional experience, and it's satisfying to hear from golfers like you who appreciate our efforts here at the course. We look forward to having you back Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course!
SLOW
Woodlands course is allowing WAY to many two-somes. They need to combine groups to improve pace of play
Great Course
Great course. Definitely one of my favorite!
You won't be disappointed.
Greens fast but great shape. Fairways good, tee box fair
Course in outstanding shape
Woodlands greens have fully recovered and they are in tournament condition. Staff was super friendly as always. Strongly recommend.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Hi Alan. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you enjoyed your round, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course.
Great course, terrible pace of play
The course itself is in great shape, the greens are rolling perfect, great lies in the fairway and the course layout is really fun. The reason for the poor review is that it took over 4.5 hours to play 12 holes and we started at 10:30am. With all the great options within an hour of Atlanta if I spend $85/person to play golf I expect a superior experience and that was definitely not the case. There are plenty of courses around that are in just as good condition at a better price that you can actually get all 18 holes in under 4.5 hours.
Thank you for visiting us at Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
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. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course. We hope to see you again soon.
