Where are the golf carts

Don’t understand why they won’t let us use carts.. I play a lot of courses and everyone has carts.. Charlie Yates you need to step up... I won’t play this couse until you step up. Just clean your carts. SMH

Good course for a quick 9

Played Charlie Yates for the first time today. While the course isn’t very long, their pin placements with the water make it challenging and fun. You definitely need your shirt game dialed in to play this course, because there isn’t a lot of room for errors! Looking forward to talking the kids out again

Love this place

We had the place almost all to ourselves on the first really cool morning of the fall. The course was in good shape--soft, but not soggy. Love playing here--holes #2 and #5 from the back tees are great par 3s. Also, treat yourself after the round to some BBQ at Greater Good a few blocks away.

Rough course

A nice 9 hole course that the greens are in bad shape. This course is close to Atlanta that is inexpensive to play. Unfortunately no one repairs the greens and they are in terrible shape. The layout is great and could be a nice course.

BAD greens

The greens are in such terrible shape that when you cut your ball gets stuck in a golf divot and the staff the Marshals are very very rude

Solid 9 hole near downtown

I play Yates regularly given how close it is to me and the quality of the course. I finished this round in about an hour-tough to beat that!
