The Chimneys Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Solid course
Conditions were the best part about the Chimneys. Fairways were flush and greens were smooth. Bunkers could use some work but it rained some that morning. The clubhouse and carts were very nice. Range has many flags at different distances to aim at but if wet it is very muddy.
The design is somewhat unique with many short par 4s on the front 9 and a much longer back 9. Feature hole is the par 3 11th.
Worst part about my visit was the pace of play and inconsideration from other players. 2 slow foursomes would not let me play through as a solo and no marshall/ranger to make them play any faster.
Great Pace of Play
Loved the course. Had a great time. If there had been anything that resembled a 19th hole I would make this my go to course. No bar or grill to return to after the round.
Chipping class
I played yesterday, and that chipping lesson that Ryan did helped out tremendously! I drained a chip from the fringe and got a few others really close. ROI!
Decent course
A pretty course that is somewhat pricey.
A shorter course than average that I consider a little too expensive for the experience.
7/10
Evaluation
The course was in very good condition. The price was a very good value. The only thing that wasn't easy was to find distance markers to the green. They need to mark the distances to the center of the green easier to find. I definitely will play this course again soon.
The course is in really good shape.
Haven't played here in a few months as last experience I thought was subpar. The course and especially the greens are in excellent condition. Staff as always are has been is great. A north Georgia top 10 course that I have played.
Only current drawback can be the price. Weekends are high, When I play during the week later in the day its not to bad.

Great staff
Played Saturday and course is in excellent condition. Lessons from Ryan have been helpful and reduced my score by 4 strokes since we started working on my swing.
One of the best public courses in this area!
This course is immaculate! Greens and fairways are well maintained. I especially love this course because for my skill level it’s perfect. Keep up the good work!
Home Course
The course is in great shape, greens are rolling and the staff are friendly and helpful. The price to play can be pricey. I joined as my home course due to the great value and with the course in such a great shape it was a no brainer. You will be pleasantly surprised at how good the is municipal course is.
Best Course in Barrow and Jackson County
For the money, this course is the best course in my opinion. Facilities and links are very well kept. I wish that either there were a few more yardage markers on the course or an option to add a gps to the cart but that's just nit picking. Great course and look forward to playing again soon!
