Great short game practice

Mostly par 3's with a couple of shortish par 4's. Very hilly. Green conditions firm, fast and smooth. I had a blast playing here. Very relaxing to not have to fight for distance. Just swing a little 8 iron or wedge and go to your putt or chip. Only took hour and a half to complete the round. A great way to sneak in a little golf without a huge time commitment. I shot 36. Now doesn't that score have a nice ring to it (even if it is actually 6 over par)!

Great executive course

Best bang for buck inside Atlanta, in my opinion. Greens almost always in great shape, course is well maintained. A not so hidden gem. I play it weekly and have for many years.

Slow play

I play here often. This round, I had a foursome ahead of me that made me wait for every, single, shot. My fault, I Iet it get to me. Still, it would have been courteous to let me play through as a single. They clearly didn't care to do that and my round suffered. Course is great for this time of year. However, the 6th is a mess and under construction.

Don't expect a fast round

Course is in decent condition with a good mix of easy and more difficult par 3's/short par 4's. My issue is with the pace of play. There was a foursome of ladies holding everyone up, with nobody in front of them, and they would not let anyone of the singles or twosomes behind play through. The marshal informed my group that we should be patient and that most likely nobody was going to play through the foursome of ladies. If Monday evening is not a good time for a single to play, then when is? I normally wouldn't attribute the stubbornness and egos of the ladies to the course, but allegedly one of the ladies was a manager at the course. She should know more than anyone to let faster people through. Extremely disappointed. Why have a marshal if he can't tell people to speed up or let players through?

Always a great time at Charlie

This course is close to my house and when I have a tight schedule and still want to play or I need to would on my short game and control this is the place I go. The course is typically in good condition since its cart path only and well maintained. The pace of play can be iffy since it can be pretty backed up in peak hours but normally it's no more than about 1h45m to play. This round was only 1h10m.

Nice short course

A nice short par 30 course. Greens were nice as well as the tee boxes. The driving range is under construction but looks like it will be very nice when completed. I would definitely play there again.

Perfect for practice

I was extremely impressed with this course. If you want something short to practice with your irons this is the course. There's water, trees, greens surrounded by bunkers, elevated greens and elevated tees.

It's not worth paying full price but if you get a good deal or even a Hot deal, and would rather pay $10 to play instead of a bucket of balls at the range ... this is the course for you.

play from the back tees to add a little length though

Charlie Yates Golf Course

I always use golfnow to book my tee times and I had seen this course many times at a nice price but had passed over it, choosing to play courses that I was more familiar with. One day after work on a sunday I wanted to play and came across it again and decided to book it. I am glad I did, it is a great course and very well maintained. It is a short course but great for practice using your irons. You get a chance to use use different clubs and the greens are really nice. I have now added this course to my practice list.

Hot deal

$5 for 9 holes with a cart, can't be beat. Greens are a little beat up, fairway, tee boxes were in pretty good shape. Friendly staff

Two thumbs up

Disclaimer - I played for the first time using a hot deal so I paid less than $10 to play but so it was a great deal. It would be hard for me to pay more than $25 on an afternoon since it's only 9 holes but if you can get in around $20, it's totally worth playing.

It's an executive course so it's very short so it's great iron practice. I would recommend playing from the back tees for a little added challenge as one or two of the par 3s are super short. One is 77 yards from the whites and down hill... Or if you're playing through twice, play from the whites on the front 9 and then the back tees on the back 9 so you'll have some different looks at the hole. This is the one time I wouldn't be annoyed with someone playing from the back tees.

The staff was very friendly and very helpful which was nice since it was my first time playing here.

The course is in really good shape with a few blemishes on a few greens (only on the edges) but the fairways are in good shape on the par 4s.

The only negative is the practice green is outside of the course and across the street so make sure you plan accordingly. And the practice range was super packed so I wasn't able to hit any beforehand but not a big deal.

Great course and would recommend and will definitely be playing often. Especially if I can keep playing the hot deals!

Charlie Yates is beautifully maintained.

Always a pleasure to play at Charlie Yates! The staff is friendly, and when you play a second round of 9 holes, you only have to pay $10 each for the next round.
