Chateau Elan Golf Club
About this course
Chateau Elan's golf course, nestled within the sprawling winery estate of Braselton, Georgia, presents a compelling blend of resort golf and Southern charm. This isn't a course steeped in championship lore, but rather one designed to complement the overall Chateau Elan experience - wine, hospitality and a relaxing round. Designed by Denis Griffiths, Chateau Elan Golf Club offers a largely modern parkland layout. The rolling Georgia terrain is sculpted into forgiving fairways framed by stands of mature hardwoods and the occasional water hazard. While not punishing, the course requires strategic play, rewarding thoughtful approaches more than raw power. The generous landing areas and limited forced carries make it accessible for higher handicap players while still offering enough challenge for more skilled golfers who want to practice their short game. The experience at Chateau Elan Golf Club is interwoven with the resort lifestyle. After your round, it is not uncommon for players to retreat to the tasting rooms to compare notes and pairings. A fun fact is, the 18th green is positioned near the Inn, allowing for spectators to cheer on friends finishing their round from the comfort of their balcony. Chateau Elan provides a memorable golf getaway, with a focus on relaxation and Southern hospitality.

Getting there
Chateau Elan Golf Club sits nestled in the rolling piedmont of north-central Georgia, approximately forty-five minutes northeast of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), the nation's busiest hub and your most practical entry point for commercial travel. The drive from Atlanta traces a gentle ascent through suburban sprawl before opening onto quieter state routes that wind through Georgia's wine country, where vineyards and horse pastures signal your approach to Braselton. Private aviators will find Dekalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) a closer alternative, cutting travel time considerably for those arriving by charter. The final miles unfold along tree-lined roads that deliver you to the French Chateau-inspired clubhouse and its surrounding championship courses - a transition from interstate tempo to the unhurried pace of a destination resort.
