Chateau Elan Golf Club - Chateau Course

The greens were very fast, but soft enough to hold
approach shots with no issues. Greens, and bunkers in perfect shape. Greens had lots of roll... No issues with up hill putts, but nearly impossible to stop a put near the cup from any other direction - they just keep rolling as I prayed my putts to the high side of, and near, the cup would soon stop; they just kept rolling BTW, I love greens like this... Shot one of my best round ever; had quite a few more putts than usual though... Hope to return again soon...

Positives:
- Really enjoyed the course, lots of thinking on tee shots.
- great condition for this time of year
- nice clubhouse

Negatives:
- check-in, priority given to phone calls, no real guidance on location / access to range, or location of first tee.
- no starter or ranger, group in front of us started late for no good reason
- lady in private golf cart comes screaming down hill in the grass within 10-15 yards of #1 green blasting music, no respect for any of the players whatsoever
- we finished late, so some grace here, but lots of people on the course like it was a park, kids riding bikes into fairway on #18 and walking in front of the green

My first time vacationing at Chateau Elan. As one of the two resort courses here I had high expectations especially at $125 per player afternoon rate (I know this is the Masters week in GA). Instead:
- no one came out to unload our bags
- we had to pay $9 per bucket of range balls to hit from mats
- it took us more than 5 hrs to complete our round. A group ahead of us called the clubhouse to complain and when no one came out they ended up leaving after 4 holes (hope they got their money back).
- most of the tee boxes and some of the fairways were all torn up

Needless to say, I’m not coming back here anytime soon.

My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves! The customer service and food on point! We’ll be back!

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.

Beautiful but little challenging course I’ve enjoyed with my relatives on Christmas Eve. Thanks

Course is in great condition. $60 for a 9:20 tee time
