Had a great overall experience. The course was in very good condition, especially the greens, and the layout made for a fun but challenging round. The atmosphere truly feels like a quality club, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the day. Pace of play was smooth, and overall the club has a great vibe both on and off the course. After playing here couple of time last year and now, I’m seriously considering becoming a member.

After more than 20 years with Chapel Hills Golf Club, it’s disappointing to see the steady decline in the overall member experience, especially since the arrival of a new owner. Worsening course conditions, inconsistent service, operational instability, and rising fees without clear communication or noticeable improvements has driven many, many members away.

Course definitely has potential but greens, tees, and bunkers are shockingly bad for a $100 course. Members seem to agree as there are stickers placed all over the course saying how bad it is. Not to mention we went out at 650am and were told by the Marshall when we were done with 10 (2 hours and 5 minutes in) that we were playing too slow. We finished in under 4 hours and 10 minutes. Seems like they should focus much more on their greens than on pace of play for a group playing faster than average pace….but what do I know.

I have been a member since the clubs beginning. Not sure what being a member means anymore. Since Mr. Patel purchased the club, members have continued to be devalued. The latest thing he has done is to put a ball machine on the range. Nothing screams public golf course like a ball machine on the range. Golf course conditions are going down also. Chapel Hills used to have some of the best greens in the Atlanta area, they are now terrible. I went to the range yesterday and if you want to practice hitting off dirt or out of the rough it was GREAT! Bobby Jones Golf Links is supposed to be managing the courses for Patel but we have not had a GM in a long time. There has been a lot of turn over since Mr. Patel took over. Arrive at your own conclusion. I feel bad for the people that live in the communities, they are kind of locked in.

As a long-standing member, I feel compelled to express my growing frustration with the current state of the club. At this point, I am paying more than I have at any time over the past 15 years, yet the overall experience has declined to the lowest level I have seen during that time. By way of example: • The greens at Chapel Hills Golf Club are nearing unplayable conditions and appear to be on the verge of being lost. • Several tee boxes are in poor, deteriorated condition, with mats being used on some holes. • Weekday breakfast service has been discontinued. • The tennis courts have not been operational for years. • There has been no clear communication regarding whether the pool will open this season. • Member access to tee times has become more limited due to GolfNow, where public access now appears comparable to that of paying members—despite increased membership costs. • While the club has transitioned from private to semi-private, the current experience feels largely public. Based on my understanding, the primary objective of purchasing a membership is to attain a degree of exclusivity, especially regarding tee time availability, course maintenance standards, and the overall experience afforded to members. Taken together, these issues reflect a noticeable decline in both course conditions and the overall value of membership. I believe in the potential of this club and have supported it for many years. I have always been a strong advocate and would have confidently compared it to any club in the area. However, in its current state, it is simply disappointing. I am asking the organization to do better and not lose sight of the members who have supported this club for years. While I understand the importance of financial performance, there must be a balance between profitability and the quality of the member experience. At present, that balance appears to be off.
