Chateau Course
Braselton, GA
Built from official course/provider information and available golfer signal. This is a researched NTB guide, not a claimed firsthand review.
THE NTB TAKE
Why burn
the extra gas?
The Chateau is the big resort-course option here: plenty of yardage, water on more than half the holes and enough bunkers to keep a shaky iron day fully employed. This looks like a course where choosing the right tees matters more than proving a point to the group chat. It makes the most sense when the foursome wants a full golf-day or buddy-trip stop, not necessarily when the only goal is finding the cheapest Saturday tee time. The golf has enough substance to justify the drive; the live price decides whether the value does.
VERIFIED COURSE FACTS
- Format: 18 holes; par 71; 7,030 yards from the back tees.
- Design/playing surfaces: Denis Griffiths design with Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens.
- Course character: Official information lists three lakes, two streams, water affecting ten holes and 87 bunkers.
- Access: Public/resort play with online tee-time access. Resort lodging is not required to identify it as a playable public/resort course.
- Current price: Public rack rate was not exposed reliably during this pass. The 2026 Preferred Player prices require a paid annual program and must not be presented as ordinary public rates.
- Practice/clubhouse: The property provides a full resort-golf operation; verify the exact range access, cart inclusion and food hours tied to a non-resort tee time.
- Location/contact: Golf operations are associated with 6060 Golf Club Drive, while the resort’s main address is 100 Rue Charlemagne Drive. Book through the official Chateau Elan golf channel to avoid arrival confusion.
CURRENT GOLFER SIGNAL
The combined Chateau Elan signal on 18Birdies is 4.5/5 from 638 reviews, with value 4.2 and conditions 4.3. Golfers characterize the property as difficult, with quick greens and generally good pace. Because that page combines the facility, treat it as property-level signal rather than a Chateau-only score.
