Quick Nine intown

Light rain meant no real waiting, course was in pretty good shape. Some greens a little beat up but the last minute price on golfnow was a great deal. #7 plays longer than you think.

Solid Greens Good Atmosphere

The foremost noticeable quality of Charlie Yates appears the greens overall quality and consistency. Lots of par threes makes this a very manageable course for any style of player. I've played here everyday this week and will be back.

Mostly par 3's. The rough is impossible to hit out of. Just not a fun time. IT is clean though.

$4 for nine holes with a cart - enough said!

Course was in great shape save for a few greens that were ropey around the fringe. Even with all the recent range no drainage issues - enjoyable and quick 9 holes.

Fun executive course

Unfortunately we only got to play 3 holes before we got rained out. However the staff gave us a raincheck to play again. We really enjoyed the holes we played and look forward to getting out again.

Epic 9-hole course in great condition.

Charlie Yates 9-hole course is actually better than a similar 9-hole course I once played in Knoxville, TN that was designed by the famed Tom Fazzio(Wee Course at Williams Creek).
The course is in great condition(nearly immaculate), with a great mix of hills, water and trees, not to mention links-style deepish bunkers. Although the course used to offer a full 18 holes and has recently been cut to 9, what remains is a fun, challenging and well-manicured little course with some tee boxes for the driver and the irons alike.
This might just be the best little golf course in Atlanta.........

You can leave your Driver in your bag!

Golf course was in great shape and greens roll good.If you got the golf bug and not a lot of time, great place to wet your appetite. Although Driver not needed for us bombers, still a good test for iron play on the par 3's.

Good course to get in a quick executive nine

Fairways and greens are in good condition. greens are slow but true. Nice course to practice or to introduce the game to beginners I like you can hit your driver 3 times and there are some forced carries over water

Not an 18 hole course

This course is reall y great for your short game. You don't have to pull out your drive until the par 4 on 9. That works for me as a beginner. I'm definitely going back again

Nice, well maintained course. Very popular driving range.

I like this course. It is well maintained and the staff is always friendly. It is the ideal place for me to get in a quick nine holes during the week.

The course difficulty is moderate but several holes test your ability to keep the ball in place. I like holes 4, 5, and 6 that go around the lake.

Hole no. 4 is really fun. It is only 77 yards from the white tee but the green has a wide bunker in the front and a sharp drop-off and water behind it.

Holes no. 8 and 9 can be somewhat hard. No. 8 is a par 3 about 180 yards from the white tee. For some reason, I see a lot of balls being hit short and to the right on this hole. Hole no. 9 seems longer than the stated 315 yards from the white tee. Perhaps it's the water in the middle or the uphill finish.

Not what it used to be

Only nine holes now and while most on staff are nice there's at least one power-tripping tall guy who is extremely rude. If he doesn't like the look of you, expect to be treated like a criminal.
