6060 Golf Club Dr
Braselton, GA 30517
Phone: (770)271-6050Fax: (770)271-6060

This facility, which was named to "GOLF Magazine's" 1998 list of "Silver Medal Resorts," features three eighteen hole courses and one par 3 course. The Chateau Elan Course has three lakes and two creeks winding their way through its design. These water hazards come into play on ten of the eighteen holes. This course is open to the public. The Legends Course at Chateau Elan is a private course which is only for the use of members, guests of members, and hotel guests. The fairways vary in width, and the well-manicured greens are fast. Water hazards come into play on several holes. The Legends is also the home of the annual Sarazen World Open Championship, a PGA Tour co-sponsored and PGA European Tour sanctioned tournament. "Golf Digest" rated Legends as the 13th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 12th best for 1997-98. The nine hole, walking only, Par 3 Course is short but challenging. Use of the driving range is included with the green fees. Another eighteen hole course, called the Woodlands, opened during 1996, and it is extremely tight, so keep your tee shot straight or you'll definitely be hitting out of the woods. The greens have subtle breaks similar to the other courses at the resort, but they are slightly larger. The 5,916-yard men's tee on the Woodlands Course also has a ladies' course rating of 74.6 and a slope of 135. Walking on the eighteen hole courses is allowed on a limited basis after 3 PM.

Briar Creek Golf Course
"Enjoy Golf Again or The Way Golf Used To Be"
Briar Creek Golf Course is a fun course to be played by both medium and high handicap golfers. Its layout is a chalenging mix of 18 holes fit in a flat land leading up to the creek with hillside on the other side of the creek. Several ponds and sandtraps provide hazards to avoid while the greens are usually the best in the area. The drawback is its distance at only 5300+ yards and so low handicap golfers should play it but only to enjoy the chance at chasing a par round of 70. The true delight of this courses is its playability and round playing time of around 4hrs. There is no long slow play at Briar Creek due to its layout. The three finishing holes on the front nine include an par 3 island green, a drivable par 4 with trouble to the right and "catcher's mitt" sandtrap to the left and a par 3 number nine. These three can yield 3 birdies or a bogey or two. The back nine has a similar opportunity for success or failure with a short par 5 number 15 which with a good second shot has you shooting for eagle or a bad second shot gets sucked into the creek and you are fighting for bogey or worse. Number 16 is an uphill par 3 that winds will control alot of your success followed by a downhill par 4 number 17 that I consider the course's signature hole. A tiny green that seems to be drivable but you must carry a pond and a creek so a 5 wood or a mid iron off the tee is best to a landing area between the two water hazards. The final hole number 18 is a dog-legged left par 5 with plenty of yardage and trees. The greatest part about Briar Creek is that its fun to play with great people and well maintained greens. The way golf used to be!!

Sharp Park Golf Course
"Great Value ."
Sharp Park is a city owned course. Extremly reasonable rates. Twilight rate in the summer is about $5.00!!! What a value. It's an older course, fairly flat, easily walked, although carts are available. Several years ago the course was redesigned. Several holes were lengthened, a beautiful pond was added. It only comes into play on one hole and only on the mens tees. Due to the reasonable rates, the course has players of all skill levels.

Weber Park Golf Course
"GREAT!"
I golf this golf course at least 2 times a week and being a junior golfer it is a great experiece and a great ability to work out your mid to high irons. They're reasonably length holes which at the same time you can use your head and think over your shots, be challenged, and have fun at the ame time. I highly recomend this course to everyone.

"Great course"
This course will challenge even the best golfer. Beware the par 3 on the back 9 with the water.
