Now, I'm reserving a 5th star for when they re-pave the cart paths, and provide us with some sand/soil containers for the carts. Otherwise, love this course! Cheers! RS

I went here to golf with some friends. It was kind of confusing to find the first hole until we…read morewere a little behind schedule. The staff made it clear that we were behind schedule by stopping us and talking to us on the second hole which slowed our game down. Seems like they book people close together and it doesn't get people enough time to move between the holes. We had four people and mixed gender so it takes time going to the different spot. There's also a charity sales pitch I'm one of the later holes which even delayed us more. We end up having someone ahead of us we had to wait for us so just felt like we have a question and we will have to wait between the other people so I really feel like they need to spread them out more. Also someone hit that ball close to us and then did not give a warning so it doesn't seem like a good community of golfers here. We had one of the husband's wife joined with the kids and they charged us extra for riders. Grounds are not well maintained so it make putting difficult. It is a very pretty course with the hills but I think the lack of space between and the overall quality of the greens makes it not ideal.

Although a little off the beaten path for golfers within or…read moreon the outskirts of North Atlanta, I believe a longer trip to play this course is well warranted. The condition of the course were excellent tee to green. The only reason I didn't rate the condition with 5 stars was because the greens had been recently sanded a little - not enough to cause a major problem of any kind though. I found the tee shots to be very reasonable, even of a shaky driver like myself, but there are certainly enough challenges to demand respect. In fact, the same could be said for the course in general. Crystal Falls is definitely worth a try if you can find the time!

Unacceptable Customer Service - Rude, Discriminatory Behavior…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. I had the absolute worst customer service experience at Lanier Legacy Golf Club, and it was nothing short of humiliating and infuriating. On March 8th, I booked a 3:00 PM tee time for my wife and her sister. Due to heavy rain, I called the pro shop, and a kind and professional male staff member issued an 18-hole rain check, which I appreciated. However, when I called today to use that rain check, I was met with the most unprofessional, rude, and outright hostile treatment from a staff member named Leah Stephenson (spelling may be incorrect). From the moment she picked up the phone, she was aggressive, dismissive, and condescending. She: Constantly interrupted me while I was speaking. Raised her voice at me for absolutely no reason. Refused to listen or assist me properly and instead transferred my call without helping. Treated me with an attitude that felt blatantly discriminatory. It's truly disgusting that a golf course with such a good reputation allows this kind of horrible customer service to take place. I couldn't help but feel that I was treated this way because I am Asian and an international guest. This was my first experience with this level of rudeness and discrimination since moving to Atlanta, and I am still in shock that a business like this allows such behavior to continue unchecked. If Lanier Legacy Golf Club actually cares about its reputation, they need to: Implement serious customer service training so this NEVER happens again. Ensure all guests--regardless of nationality--are treated with basic human decency. I will make sure that everyone I know hears about this disgraceful experience. I will also be reporting this incident to management and any relevant authorities to ensure this club is held accountable for discriminatory and unprofessional practices. Avoid this place if you expect even the bare minimum of respect. If you're not a local, prepare to be treated as if you don't belong.

I don't know how many people use yelp to find a golf course but Lanier Islands Legacy golf course…read moreis definitely one of the best courses in GA. I absolutely love this course. The quality of the course, staff, practice facility, carts, food is A1. First off, I ain't gonna lie it's expensive! But good news is you do get range balls with your greens fees and unlimited snacks/ soft drinks!!!(my favorite). Yes I said unlimited. I'm sure if you go in there and fill bags up with stuff they might say something but you get it. Second off, driving range and putting green = phenomenal. Third off and most important , the course..... is so beautiful. I'm a serious golfer (4 handicap) so my feelings might be different than others. The actual layout of the course is pretty difficult but the scenery is grand. In order to score great on this course you do have to play smart and have a strategy. I suggest to pay attention to everything before swinging! Keep in mind the greens are FAST. Last suggestion, if you're not the best golfer bring lots of balls because there is a ton of water on this course and get some practice in before hand! If you truly play the course a lot of shots will require you to get the ball in the air. Fourth. Besides the snacks and the absolutely beautiful golf course, I LOVE the way they start you out. Basically most courses just give you the keys to the cart and tell you to get. Here, the first hole is a distance away from the clubhouse so when the starter feels as if the tee box is cleared he will explain the course / rules with your group, give you the keys to the cart, and tell you to get on with it. And I absolutely loveeeeee that. It allows your group to be at the tee box without anyone causing distractions.Love it!!! Last time we were out here the course was quite backed up. The Marshall was constantly trying to get the people in front of us moving and he kept stopping by to apologize to us. The quality of service at Lanier is awesome. They truly make you feel special and that's why I love going back and throwing my money at them. This is by far my favorite course I've ever played at in GA and other states. I hope the review was helpful for the one person that might read this ! If you go play, good luck!

Conditions were excellent--fairways in great shape and greens rolling true, especially impressive for this time of year. The layout is both fun and challenging, with a great mix of holes that reward good shots without being overly punishing. It's the kind of course where you can swing freely, enjoy the scenery, and still be tested. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, which always elevates the overall experience. You can tell there's pride in both the course and the service. This is definitely a place I'll return to and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality round in the area. Great value for the condition and experience.

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.
