Tips for Playing Château Élan Golf Club - Château Course
When playing the Château Course, pay close attention to the elevation changes. Many holes play significantly uphill or downhill, which will impact your club selection. It's often better to take one more club on uphill shots and consider taking one less on downhill approaches to avoid flying the green. Also, utilize the practice facilities before your round, especially the putting green, as the bentgrass greens can be quick and have subtle breaks. Given the course's strategic design, don't always reach for the driver. On tighter holes or those with significant doglegs, a well-placed fairway wood or hybrid off the tee can leave you in a much better position for your approach shot. Hydrate frequently, especially during warmer months, and take a moment to appreciate the beautiful vineyard views, particularly on the back nine.
