They needed to bale the grass

The staff is always nice at Chateau Elan! The course was not is good condition, I lost several balls that where hit in the fairway or rough and were covered with dead grass. If I had not known that I was on a golf course, I would have thought that I was playing in a hay field. They could have bales up the dead grass, there is no way that we have had that much rain lately. The overall conditions has just went down hill in the last several years, it was nice that they replaced the greens, but they have let the others areas go in the tank. No worth the money!

Hi "Keith1958UGA" Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate your feedback and patience as the course has received a large amount of rain this summer season. With our maintenance staff dealing with this transition we hope to see you again this fall when we will be in perfect shape.

Very nice course

First time playing at Chateau Elan and I was very impressed. Played the Chateau course. Course was in good shape despite typical winter conditions. The layout was good and very playable. With the hills in this part of Georgia there were a couple of holes that were weird just to fit the terrain, but not nearly to the degree most courses around here seem to be. The club was very nice … very similar to a private club. It is not cheap to play but compared to other public courses I thought it was well worth the money. I will be back.

Solid course with some weaknesses

Greens are excellent and clearly better on the chateau course but the practice green was way faster than the course. Some fairways suffering from lack of rain. Bunkers were nice

The course has many tight and then open holes off the tee but there are many creeks running through the course which offer a challenge and is a second shot course.

Holes 6 - 8- 9 -10 - 16 are pretty average.. Best holes are 2, 3- 11-12-13-14 -17..

Love the food at the clubhouse again..

Really played slow- no marshalls ruined it

imagine being on a par 4 approx. 380 yards. There's a 4-some on the green. A 3-some in the middle of the fair. my two-some on the Tee box and a group waiting behind us. We teed off at 8:30am and it quickly became apparent it was going to be like this all day. no one was ahead of the 4-some on the green and they played really slow. The 3-some behind them eventually became 1 as 2 of their group quit and had enough. It would stack up like this on just about every hole and the 4some group certainly had to be aware and yet would not let anyone play through nor speed up themselves. very frustrating especially paying a premium so you wouldnt have conditions like that ruin it for everyone.
