Chimney Oaks Golf Club

Chimney Oaks Golf Club sits in the northeast Georgia foothills near Homer, a small town in Banks County roughly an hour northeast of Atlanta. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the southern Appalachian piedmont, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the playing corridors. The region's hardwood forests and native vegetation frame the layout, providing definition between holes while maintaining a sense of the area's wooded character. The design incorporates the property's natural topography, routing holes through valleys and across ridgelines that create varied shot requirements and strategic interest. Fairways move through the landscape rather than imposing geometric patterns on it, and green complexes take advantage of natural slopes and drainage patterns. Water features appear on several holes, typical of courses built in this era and region where ponds serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. Chimney Oaks serves primarily as a daily-fee facility, making golf accessible to residents of Banks County and visitors traveling through northeast Georgia's lake and mountain country. The course provides a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels, with length and hazard placement offering challenge without excessive difficulty. The clubhouse and practice facilities support both casual rounds and organized group play, reflecting the club's role as a community golf resource in a largely rural area where public access courses remain important recreational anchors.
