We really enjoyed the course, but our experience at the grill was disappointing. We tried calling…read morein our food order several times with no answer. When we went inside, we noticed the bartender was in the kitchen preparing food, while the man who appeared to be the cook was just standing by as if waiting to cook- not sure if he was new or not. He came out to greet us briefly before returning to the kitchen. When the bartender finally took our order, the only thing available quickly was a hot dog. A cheeseburger would have taken ten minutes, which we didn't have since we were on the clock for the 10th hole. (This is why we had tried to call in our order during the 9th hole, as is common practice at most courses.) We left hungry and disappointed. I mentioned that we had tried calling multiple times, and she explained that they, "can't hear the phone in the back with the fan and burners on." However, as the bartender, she shouldn't be the one cooking if there is a dedicated cook available. Another couple came in to dine as well and also experienced a long wait.

Its quite the hike out from ATL, but you are rewarded with a quiet course and fantastic pace of play. 45 mins for me to get here, but I was done with my round in 3 hours. I was playing solo, and the 3 groups in front did let me play thru. Course conditions are very good. Tee box and fairways are lush well kept. Fairways are mowed low, so always a nice roll and good lie. The greens however, were just punch and sanded. I can tell that it was well cared for to begin with, and I imagine, it will be even better in 2 weeks. Strangely enough, even with the sand, the greens were super fast. If I had to ask for improvement, it has to be the cart path and gas buggy. Please fix the bumps and get new e-carts. Otherwise, keep up the good work. I had a great time, and I will back in 2 weeks, after the greens are healed up.

chateau elan golf club. December 6-2025. Overpriced Off-Season Disappointment…read more I don't mind playing golf in the off-season, but if a course is going to charge premium prices, the conditions should at least come close to matching them. Unfortunately, this place falls far short. The fairways were Dormant due to the time of year and the weather here in Georgia has been in the low 40s. What really frustrates me is With the weather conditions in time of year the rates were still sky-high--as if it were peak summer. If I'm paying top dollar, I expect perfect conditions, and in addition, it was cartpath only so it took us five hours for the round of golf. We paid $125 +8% sales tax for a total of $135. For the conditions of the course, the course layout and the time of year this was a total rip off. There are plenty of courses that adjust their prices to reflect the season and still offer a better experience. This one needs to rethink its off-season value, because right now it's nowhere near worth the cost.

I give Chateau Elan Golf Club 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. I would categorize this as a 4-star club,…read morebut it's somewhat of an underwhelming 4. As a disclaimer, I've only played Chateau Elan's Woodlands course (twice). The club has another 18-hole course called the Chateau course as well as a par-3 course, both of which I've yet to play. Simply put, I expect more of a golf course that's part of a winery and resort. When it comes to resort courses, which I think should be held to a higher standard, this is one of the "lower end" ones I've been to. The clubhouse, amenities, and course (Woodlands) are no better than higher-end public daily fee courses in the Atlanta area. Just a handful of courses I think are better and more fun to play include Bear's Best (Suwanee), Cherokee Run (Conyers), BridgeMill (Canton), Echelon (Alpharetta), and The Frog (Villa Rica). While the Woodlands course isn't a bad course by any means, I'd probably be just as inclined to play municipal courses in Atlanta like Browns Mill and Chastain Park (courses which are closer to where I live in the city) before making the solid 45-minute to 1-hour trek to Chateau Elan in Braselton. Don't take the main entrance for the winery and resort. The golf club is located a little bit further down the road after you've exited off I-85. It's got a separate entrance (Golf Club Drive). Again, compared to other country clubs and higher-end public courses, Chateau Elan's clubhouse isn't all that impressive. It's relatively small and the men's locker room feels more like a temporary trailer or building add-on/extension. That said, the golf shop is stocked with a decent amount of Chateau Elan logo apparel, golf accessories and equipment, and there's a bar and grill with an enclosed patio. The driving range is spacious with plenty of both grass and mat hitting stations. Range balls come in one size only: a basket of 42 balls for $5. The Range Servant accepts tokens, which can be purchased inside the golf shop, or $1 and $5 bills. When I last used the range, the balls were TaylorMade practice balls. They were fairly nice. I haven't been to too many ranges that use them. The golf carts are E-Z-GO electric carts. They were in good condition last time I played. One thing I do appreciate about Chateau Elan is they provide a pair of towels in every cart. It's nice considering most courses at Chateau Elan's price point ($60-80 weekend/holiday morning rate) don't offer towels. The carts come with a few tees too though they are the short variety. For the past decade-plus, long tees have been the norm, so I'm not sure why they provide short ones. The last round I played, I booked our foursome's tee times directly through Chateau Elan's website. The rates shown on Chateau Elan's website were the same as those shown on GolfNow. However, GolfNow required an additional convenience fee paid upfront whereas no payment was due online when booking through Chateau Elan's site. We were charged $62.43 per golfer ($58.35 greens and cart fee plus $4.08 tax) for our Sunday morning round on the Woodlands course. The guy in the golf shop was friendly. There's a bag drop and cart attendants right in front of the clubhouse. The morning we played, they looked to be mostly teenagers. There was no starter which we found to be odd. Every group pretty much started themselves. Our foursome showed up to the 1st tee, then a twosome, then a single. Even though the twosome and single had tee times after us, we decided to go ahead and let them play through. However, the twosome and single did not pair up. If there was a starter, they probably would have been paired up. The last time I played the Woodlands course with my dad, the starter paired us with another twosome. In the end, the pace of play for our foursome worked out to be roughly 4 hours and 45 minutes. It was a bit longer than we would have liked, but it wasn't terrible either. While there was no starter, nor marshall for that matter, there was a food and beverage cart which we saw 2-3 times during the round. The first time, the cart lady did not have sandwiches. The second time, which took a while, she came with sandwiches in tow. As for the Woodlands course itself, it's fine. After playing a couple rounds on the course, I can honestly say there's nothing about it that really draws me back. It's a fairly standard Georgia par-72 nestled among trees and spread throughout a subdivision. It's not terribly long and perhaps average in difficulty. From the tips: 6,735 yards with a 73.1/135 rating/slope. From the white tees (where we played from): 5,927 yards with a 68.4/126 rating/slope. There's little water to contend with and the landscaping and scenery are average. As far as course conditions, they were good to great. The large greens were in magnificent shape. They were among the fastest greens I've played in metro Atlanta. The quality of the sand in the bunkers was good and the tee boxes and fairways were in satisfactory shape.

Another year, another Cadillac Innovation Golf Clinic. I was invited again this year and the…read moreclinic took place yesterday at the Golf Club of Georgia in Alpharetta. Last year, the clinic took place at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth. This year's Tour pro instructor was 2008 Masters champ, Trevor Immelman. The crowd seemed bigger this year. There were three sessions we could sign up for, two in the morning and one in the early afternoon. Complimentary breakfast and lunch were provided, buffet-style, underneath large white tents outside the back of the clubhouse. There were so many people that most of us had to park at an auxiliary lot off-site on Windward Concourse and be shuttled over to the clubhouse. Registration took a bit longer this year since there were more people and since we came in droves to the registration stations. The walking clinic with Trevor Immelman and David Leadbetter took place on the 9th hole, about 100 yards or so out. Immelman walked us through many different aspects of the game from setup and alignment to grip, aim, and strategy. Like just about any Tour pro, all of his shots seemed effortless. He even tried to do some trick approach shots by bouncing them off the stone wall behind the green. This got a good laugh out of the crowd, in addition to Leadbetter's many quips. One example is when Leadbetter chose a random person out of the gallery to show us his swing. After showing us his not-so-good-looking swing and telling Leadbetter he was a 12 handicap, Leadbetter said, "you must be one hell of a putter to be a 12 handicap!" Immelman and Leadbetter then walked us through bunker shots, shots from just off the green, and putting. The entire formal instructional session went well over the allotted 1-hour time frame -- it probably ran 1.5 hours. It was a great and very informative, enlightening, and useful lesson. After presentation was over, we separated into smaller groups and went through a series of 5 "clinics." They were: 1. Driving - with video swing analysis 2. Learning - about the latest Cadillac vehicles (they were on-site) 3. Hybrids - learning about and hitting hybrid irons 4. Putting - putting with various putters including belly putters 5. Chipping - chipping from sidehill lies onto a green All golf clubs and balls were provided by Callaway (drivers, hybrids, wedges) and Odyssey (putters). All the latest model Cadillacs were also available for test drive. The hybrid, putting, and chipping stations were manned by a local golf club pros who provided additional instruction. We all got to take swings, so a lot of personalized advice was provided. Overall, it was another very fun-filled and well-planned day on another great golf course in Georgia. I look forward to attending more Cadillac Innovation Golf Clinics as long as they keep inviting me. Thanks, Trevor Immelman, David Leadbetter, Callaway, Odyssey, Cadillac, and the Golf Club of Georgia.
