Don’t play it !!!!!!!

To say that the greens and tee boxes are in bad shape would be a compliment. They are beyond belief BAD. A complete waste of money. $30 for nine with cart, $15 with cart still not a bargain.

Not what I expected

The good:

Carts are pretty new

Staff is nice

Fairways are nice

The bad:

Greens (if you can call them that), are SO bad!

Pace is slow

The driving ranges has a lot of wait time on the weekends

I would say you are better of going to Alfred Tup Holmes for cheaper.

The greens here just kill your game. So sad.

What has happened to Charlie Yates

Apparently all the money went to the new clubhouse renovation, because the course is just terrible. Greens were furry, patchy, and weedy. And they are only a couple years old!!!

The little fairways that exist are just ok. But the bunkers are great, sadly that's the only thing.

Pace of play is wildly laughable for a 9 hole course. SEND A RANGER/ STARTER AROUND FFS. Also wildly overpriced at $45 for NINE HOLE PAR 3 COURSE.

The driving range is in shambles.... mats are in need of replacement, balls need to be refurbished, the netting on the right side of the range is detached, and when you aren't on the mats you're on a uneven dirt field. This driving range needs a compete overall and there is no excuse charging $11 for a small (50) bucket and $14 for a large (100) to use this range.

The practice green is super furry as always and the practice chipping green up the mountain you have to climb is probably the best part of the course.

The new clubhouse looks great and the people are amazing. Just gotta do something about the sorry state of the course.

@charlieyates I do not require anything. CY is the closest public course to me and I will continue to frequent it for practice, but until the range and course greens are improved, and the pace of play is held in check more by the course, it is 2 stars at best. I will gladly update my rating when CY invests in the above

Pro needs to lose the attitude

The course itself was fine. Nothing special but you get what you pay for. However the pro was about as rude as can be. I showed up about 40 minutes early to get some range time and practice in, he goes “You’re too early. Your tee time isn’t for another 40 minutes.” So I say, yes I know, I came early to hit some balls on the range. You’d think he’d be appreciative of the fact I was spending more money at the course, but nope he gave me an eye roll and said that’ll be $10. Also when it was time for me to tee off, there were no carts so he had me go harass the group coming off of 9 for their cart. I’d come back since the course was decent, but really don’t want to have to deal with that guy again.

2 year old greens ruined and a rude attendant make this a hard no

Greens were redone 2 years ago. They are unrecognizable. Not in a good way. They looked diseased and several were wet mud combined with grass.

The attendant checking me in behaved like she was doing me a favor letting me on the course. The interaction with her will make me limit my return anytime soon.

Great place to work on your game and not feel pushed !

Overall I love This course. I would Say to make sure you ask when the high school is playing a tournament because it does back up the course a bit. However, still worth the money.
