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.

Relaxing round

For a relaxing round of golf, play here. Walking is recommended, and the course plays differently from the tee multiple boxes. So you could play 9 from the tips, and the second 9 from another tee box, and you will feel like you've played 2 different courses.
