Great day at Chateau Elan

I wish I could have played better but cannot blame the course. Great layout and in great shape. The real time yardage screen on the cart was a great help.

Seems like a silly thing to mention but it was a very hot day and we played in the late afternoon. I have played courses where their water coolers were not refilled and either empty or warm. All coolers had plenty of water and the water was very cold. Taking care of the small stuff is impressive.

Course excellent greens in great shape

Only negative was needed another cart lady out there in heat of the day. Did have cold waters in coolers every couple of holes. Excellent course. Pricey but wait for the reduced price after noon.

Really nice course.

This course exceeded expectations. It was in fantastic condition, greens in great shape, the pace of play was fast. We might have waited on two holes during a Saturday morning. Look forward to playing again as well as checking out the other courses here.

Let me explain

The course was in very rough shape due to the large amounts of rain we received lately. I get that. Sand washed completely out of bunkers with 2 foot deep potholes, washout and mud all throughout fairways, and maintenance crew out in full force. There in lies the problem for me. I went off at 8:20 AM and had maintenance crew on eight of my 18 holes. And I wasn’t following the same guy around, that’s just how much work was going on. And if there’s this much work that needs to be done, I personally would rather you guys close the course for the day to get it right and done in a timely manner instead of being a distraction or nuisance to the customer, especially for the price it is to play here. And at the very least, give us a heads up in the pro shop. I don’t think the cart path only sign gave enough explanation as to what we were to experience this round. I love Château and will continue to give them my money. I frequent the range multiple times a week, enjoy the multiple putting greens and practice facility, love the Woodlands and the par three course. Looking forward to another chance to experience the château course in all of its glory..

An very underrated course --- Reality is it's beautiful and challenging!

I played the Woodlands course. It's absolutely beautiful! The overall conditions are very good except 1 or 2 tee boxes need some improvements. Like other GA courses in the area, the undulating greens are soft and smooth but a little too slow. I am not sure why they don't make the beautiful greens faster to increase the level of fun and challenges. Given the softness of the greens, it's easy to make a big ball mark, players should fix their ball marks. The course also gives a preview of the beautiful big houses surrounding the course. A recommendation for playing the GA (or mountainous) courses is to have a range finder with the slope feature; otherwise, you will struggle with estimating the approach shot distances---ask me how I know about this.

Unpleasant treatment?!

We were group of 4 players plus my girlfriend was with us from out of town visiting, so we needed an extra 3rd golf cart! I was very unhappy of their $35 additional charge for the extra golf cart?? Most golf courses don’t charge.. This unusual & unexpected outrageous charge shows how greedy & unwelcoming we were treated.

Green speed too slow & didn't mention the green airorated. Practice ranger balls not allowed for the players. Only one rest thru 18 holes, no water stand, and no trash can. Electric cart stock on the fairways then allowed reverse only several times.
