And your reviews mean nothing in comparison to what I have experienced first hand. This has to be one of the finest retail operations I've experienced. I have bought a couple of knives over the past few months from this location and they have NOT preformed well. I am a daily carrier that uses my knife for basically anything that is required in that moment (I am in the new construction residential industry), however, when I went in an hour ago, I explained HOW I was using these knives, as another one was not preforming. Tim Rowland overheard, stepped up, and showed me a gambit of wonderful knives, catered to my use and needs after listening. I understand that this gentleman is not a salesperson, but one who typically makes the knives in the back, but he took the time to show me around and demoed 8-10 different knifes to make sure I was making the right decision. While before I was price conscious (around $50-$60 budget), today he showed me what I needed to make sure my needs were met. I walked out spending $350 on a blade that I did not intend on buying. But I feel now I have the knife that I need. I will forever buy all of my blades from this shoppe.

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.

They have a variety of ongoing advanced classes AND amazing dive trips all around the world that I can't wait to join. This weekend I finished up a 10+ year goal of taking the open water diving certification and I couldn't have picked a better location. I bought a remarkably priced package they offer combining the course and equipment (fins, boots, snorkel, and mask). They also rent out gear for dive trips so you can have what you need without having to buy and dive with equipment you're familiar with. The pool for your class is huge. 1-2 lanes are about 10' deep and about 15 lanes are 4' deep. The instructors will start out in the 4' deep lanes and go over basics underwater so you're super comfortable. Then you'll have ample time in the 10' end so your confidence is built. It's shared with "Swim Atlanta" and conveniently located on the backside with their own shop connected to the large pool area. They are SSI and compatible with thousands of dive shops around the world. They can do "referrals" for your 4 checkout dives through another shop (you'll have to pay the other shop for the dives but you won't have to take the classroom, exam, and pool diving skills) OR you can preferably do your checkout dives with Dive Dive Dive on one of their trips. Enjoy it! You won't regret it.
