Expected More with Chateau Elan Name

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.

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..
