Price increase

Considering the price increase and increase in business you would think the course would be in better shape. Also the golf cart still had trash in it , which makes me think it was not Covid-cleaned before we used it.

Can’t believe this

Charlie Yates should be ashamed how they let the greens and fairway go down like this. This is a part of East lake community. They need to close down and repair course. How can anyone give this course a good rating. I’m embarrassed to even write such a negative review of this place... Charlie Yates you should be ashamed of this course and the way you let this great course go down. Please everyone stay away and make them repair the course. We deserve better.!!!!

What happened to the greens?

Played about a month ago and while the greens were a ‘fuzzy’ and slow they were not like what we had today. Simply, horrible. Tee boxes have always been bad. Given the course there aren’t really any fairway conditions to comment on. Balls out of the ball machine at the range were caked with dirt and grass so clearly their cleaning process is non existent.

Pace of play: horrible. Two some in front of us thought it was ok to hit 2-3 balls a pice of the tee than hunt for lost balls. I know this is a public course but there are weigh better options in Atlanta for about the same price.

Advice: don’t waste you $$.

Would not recommend

Tee boxes and greens looked like no one had done anything besides cutting. Greens were the worst I’ve played in years (and I’m a regular of less expensive courses). They had a small amount of rain and the entire course was flooded the entire round, even in the mid day sun.

Greens

The greens were in the worst shape I’ve ever seen. Extremely burnt out and pitch marks everywhere. I tried to fix 3-4 every hole, but they were brutal.

The pace of play was horrible as well. Too many foursomes in front of our twosome, creating a long wait on each hole.

Overall, the course is a nice design and well laid out. It’s would be a really fun track at a great value if they could fix the greens and pace of play.

Decent course, awful greens.

The course is fine. It's pretty fun to play. But, the greens have gotten progressively worse over the last month. Right now a lot of them have large dead or dirt spots. More or less all over. It's hard to put when the greens look like the surface of the moon.

Greens

The greens were in the worst shape of any course I’ve played in a long time. Not sure what is going on as usually they are respectable here. Other than that, solid course

save your money unless you want to just want to repair ball marks on the greens...

CY needs to work on the greens, very disappointing.

Clubhouse said there were no carts available but yet a twosome in my group and a foursome behind us had carts. Really don't mind walking but I wish I had known and reserved another course.

Save your money for range balls instead.

Always a Fun Time @ Yates

For the price and layout Yates is a fun little track. Great range and not a whole lot of people out in front last night. Not sure what’s going on with the greens though holes 1-5 they were brutal. Burnt, tons of divots, not sure if it was just aerated as they still rolled ok. If you’re looking for a quick 9 that gives you a challenge I’d recommend

Yates post lock down

Greens were pretty burnt out in some places, pitch marks galore, making most putts a minefield of bumps. Other than that course is in great shape, is a great layout with lots of elevation change and a good challenge for pretty decent price. If they can have the greens in better shape this would be a fantastic little test.

Great Layout- Great Staff

I play this course 50+ times a year, Its like my 2nd home.

This is perhaps the most Challenging Par 30 you will ever play. every hole requires different clubs/shots. Water, Well placed Traps, Elevation changes, it has everything. Plus you can walk in 90 min.

Great range and practice area

(Warning - you must hit off mats Mon-Wed)

The staff is fantastic - especially Sabriya & Conner

The only thing I would change is to make the greens a little faster.
