About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6500 yards
Slope 127
Rating 71.4

The Chimneys Golf Course features 18 holes of exceptional golf. Our signature feature is the abundance of native rock found on-site, intricately hand-laid throughout the course to accent our greens, fairways, and pedestal tees. With strict attention to detail and no homes in sight, the course plays as a par 72, just shy of 6500 yards over five sets of tees to accommodate golfers of all abilities. Combined with southern, hometown charm, The Chimneys is an experience unlike any public course in north Georgia.

Overbooked Again

Management clearly doesn’t have it together at all. Before coming today I already told myself I would never go back due to the course overbooking on multiple occasions. This further solidified me never coming back. I recommend you stay away from this course!!!

We’ll Be Back

The course was recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint. We had a great round and look forward to going back again soon. We really enjoyed the layout of the course, its openness, and choice of tees. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the clubhouse was very clean and welcoming. Thank you for a great golf experience.

Pricey!

Very pricey to play this course. I would expect that they at least maintain the bunkers. All in all though I like the course. I certainly would not pay rack rate though. I would look for deals.

Hidden Playground

Overall a great place! I have driven by many times and never realized there was a golf course beyond the baseball fields. (not that I was looking for one).
Played with a few of my friends last week. Greeted as soon as we walked in. John who was working the front desk was extremely happy and you could tell he really like doing his job. Unlike some of the old guys we have run into. I really enjoyed the course. As long as I was in the fairways I had a good lie. Greens were fast and in great shape. If I was to say anything negative, lack of food options. hotdogs would've been great
We will be coming back!

Some concerns

Always enjoy playing here, one our favorites
Don’t play as often because of cost. 20% off promo code sent by course not working.
Also slow play today, 41/4 + hour round, waited a lot w/ no marshall @ tee box or course to monitor play

The course is in decent condition and worth a game

It is not a hard course but still fun..

There are a few hard holes

3 - 6 -11- 12- 14-15..

I wish they would provide carts with dirt to fill divots.. would improve the course over time. Greens were firmer and faster than earlier in the year which made the course play a little harder

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the course! Our maintenance team works hard to fill divots daily on behalf of our guests which is what keeps our fairways looking so great. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks - The Chimneys.

Rough can be brutal.. left of 18 ..

Always enjoy

One of our favorite courses, always in good shape. My understanding they’re renovating greens next year, not sure why, greens some of the better ones we play. Wished they had a course marshal to manage tee times & slower play. Only time we play is using a deal time or % off rates. Suggest senior, afternoon & foursome deals
