Chateau Elan Golf Club - Woodlands Course

The entrance to the course signals you are entering a upscale facility
Clubhouse is tasteful and lunch at clubhouse was excellent
Blackened mahi mahi tacos
Service is excellent
However the golf course left me underwhelmed
Bent greens were like putty and much slower than Chateau course
Bad shots would stop dead on the greens and no risk of bouncing over
This is despite extremely dry conditions of late
Par 3 - 2nd is brutally hard but then holes 3 thru 6 were dull
Par 5 8th is outstanding hold
13 to 15 are great as well...
Still for the cost of a game mid week.. it was reasonable

As always fun to play. Great layout, friendly staff, and no one on the course. But greens had been recently aerified so not the best.

Knew ahead the greens were punched but it was not that bad. Pace of play was only bad because a foursome in front of us lost steam during the round and really should have played from the whites. A ranger did tell them to speed up the pace as we were 20 mins behind. Fairways in great shape, tee boxes decent, and Sarazen's is always good and reasonably priced. Worth $59 on a Sunday

This has always been a decent/nice course. Always in decent to good condition. There seems to be a contingent of folks playing this course lately, who refuse to fix ball marks. Every single green, was riddled with unrepaired marks. Every green had at least 15 or more of them. I would normally expect the grounds crew to handle this issue. But there are so many of them, it would be a daunting task for any crew to manage. I repaired no less than 4-6 per green, myself. Would love to have contributed to more repairs myself. But that would have made for a 5.5 hour round. Fix your marks PEOPLE!!

Very challenging 18. A lot of high risk high reward shots. Offers a challenge for all ability levels. Greens were in superb condition

Greens rolling true, course is overall in nice condition.

They had a GSGA event, they said they had no extra carts when I checked in, however they gave all of the spectators their own cart to follow the event, many were just 1 person in the cart. Poor management for a resort course.
