not going to return

this course has changed for the worse
1)expect to see incompetent yet condescending lady working behind the counter
2)ball collectors and 2/3 off the tee golfers that slow down play
3)the worst gps carts in metro Atlanta that turn off when you are 1 ft away from the fairway
4)ball mark ridden greens
5)leaves everywhere in the fairway
unless you live in this area i suggest you go elsewhere

Greens were terrible.

Sand everywhere and just punched. No notification from the course or Golfnow prior to booking or I wouldn’t have played it. Has potential to be a good course if the greens were in average shape

Great day of golf

Chateau elan does things right. From the counter staff the golf cart attendants to the starter to the beverage cart person and the waitstaff at the restaurant in the club house it was awesome. All were great. I think a great value for 78 bucks the day before this nation Independence Day. I felt appreciated. I only wish they have a veteran military retiree discount. But I am not complaining. After the match the wings and Tito’s and cranberry were awesome. Bout a new golf shirt and pool
Mug were a little pricey but nice. Will do it again as soon as possible

Greens Smooth Pace Just Sad

Ladies and Gentlemen, if we have to play double for 5 hours, that’s just sad. Folks hitting 6 balls, taking 3 minutes to read a putt, no course Marshall in sight. Such a beautiful course and greens rolling so true but taking forever to play, can’t keep in rhythm. Saw lots of disgruntled folks leaving the golf course before completing the round. It’s Monday yes but someone needs to “police” pace of play. It’s just disappointing

Played chateau even though I booked woodlands

Love the layout and the greens. Solid pro shop and bar area. Pace of play was outrageous! No marshal on a Saturday. Called the pro shop twice and no one answered. Tee’d off at 12:30 and barely finished. 5 hour and 10 minute round is unacceptable. Barely saw the beer cart twice; hole 2 and 16. I expect more out of a “premium” course. I do love the course itself though. The starter was very friendly, but she haphazardly let’s us tee off 30 minutes early on a course we didn’t book - that can’t help the pace of play.

One if my favorite tracks

The course has always been one of the best public course layouts in GA. If we didn’t have a slow foursome in front of us it would have been even better.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Even better than usual

The course was in really good condition given it's late October. Found the perfect gap so I did not run into another group until hole 14 and finished the round in under three hours.
Great layout, reward/risk, some holes are easier to give you a breather after tough holes, beautiful.
the pro shop person was super nice.

Woodlands did a great job Golf Now failed

Showed up for our tee time with the email that said we had an 8:06 tee time. Course tells us we didn’t. That put us off on the Tradition 9 holes and we had to play that 9 twice since there was no other room on the tee sheet. Course accommodated us but GolfNow screwed up and left us hanging.
