Suitable warmup area with a place to practice chipping and bunkers; plays more like a mountain course. Very hilly but put together nicely. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Like most Georgia courses, don’t hit it in the rough, your ball is gone. Enjoyed the gps on the carts as well

The pace of play was really bad, with a huge group of guys -- even fivesomes in front of us. It was exercise in patience. That was frustrating. The course is tough for me; I find the sand far too often for my taste. Greens were really bouncy and seemed to need to be rolled. But I'm not a greenskeeper.

The course is in really good shape, greens are healthy and I shot the best round of my life, holing out for birdie on 18. So yeah, a great round! And pleasant staff at the 19th hole for a celebratory beer.

We had to endure aerated greens, but the price was reduced as a result, so I suppose that is some compensation. It’s a very nice design. We liked it even more playing it again. It really can’t be walked, with lengthy stretches to get to certain holes. But the combination of water on some holes, narrow and widening fairways make it fun and strategic to play. We’ll definitely be looking to play there again soon!

I love this course and anyone who's played it probably does. But seriously, doesn't anyone repair their ball marks or sand their divots anymore? It's really gotten bad on this course--and it's so disrespectful to the course, to the school, and to the people who try to take good care of the course. Very disappointing to see that self-policing and self-responsibility have diminished so much. It's as much a part of the game as your shot and your enjoyment of the experience, fellas.

One of my favorite courses to play. Although there's no water which makes the track easier, it's a lot of fun and well maintained for the most part

Some courses offer a walking option on the Golf Now site. Providence does and I decided to try it. But taking a look at the course, I’m really, really glad I decided to get a cart instead. This course is designed to RIDE, not walk. It would be ridiculous to walk this track. That being said, the greens were not in good shape. They were for the most part, under repair. But the design was quite good—no complaints there. Improvements are needed to get the track up to its potential. I hope they make it happen.

Always a challenge, always a pleasure—one of Georgia’s best.

Excellent warm up facilities allowing putting and chipping in addition to a driving range. The course is in good shape; it’s fair and challenging. The greens were a little bumpy. Must have just been aerated.

The course is well maintained and lays out nicely. Not terribly difficult but also not the easiest course, it feels pretty fair. I like it more and more. They do need to figure out how to get hydration stations out on the course with the new normal.

This is not the hardest nor the easiest course but I think it’s pretty fair It’s laid out well and the course is in good shape. My son and I really enjoy playing here!

I liked this course. The chimney theme is a nice idea and they've done some great stonework throughout the course. Fairways are in really good shape. The greens are some of the slowest I've encountered and we really had a hard time finding the right speed. My big beef, and this concerns the greens, is the lack of self-maintenance at The Chimneys. That is not a knock on the course, but the people who play it. I can't remember the last time I saw so many unrepaired golfmarks on the greens. Simply ridiculous. My son and I ended up repairing 5 marks to our 1 - usually do that to an extent anyway. It's a lack of respect for the game and the people that play behind you. Like leaving your trash at a campsite. Pack it out! A very frustrating sign of the times. I don't know whether signs asking people to do what they should ordinarily do anyway would be of any help. Other than that, a really nice course.

When you don’t want your round to last 4 hours, this is a great course to practice your short game. One observation—it would be nice if the yardage varied a bit more on the Par 3s. Too many are roughly the same (from the white tees). But the conditions are good and we enjoyed the a lot.

The course is in terrific shape and provides great challenges for any golfer. The traps are plentiful and, at least for me, were hard to avoid. Make sure your sand play is up to form. It's a course with GPS carts which is a great amenity as well if you're not carrying a range finder and a good practice area as well. The discount made this a steal. Hope to play here again soon!

Nice staff and great course and amenities - certainly a terrific value.
