Pace of play needs to be addressed

I play here frequently. Love this place. Pace of play needs to be addressed! Get a starter and make them pair people up. I’ve waited on every tee box so far in my round.

Solid for 9 Holes

Thankfully the greens are being remedied. It was a night and day difference compared to the last time I played a few months ago. They stacked the tee times hard though, we were waiting all day on people in front of us, sometimes even waiting on multiple parties. And then the Marshall snapped at me saying I needed to keep up with pace of play, like he hadn’t just watched us wait at the tee box for 10 minutes on the people in front of us. Glad I got a hot deal on it, otherwise it might not have been worth the money. Felt like I did more waiting than golfing.

It needs TLC

This year greens are in bad condition. Normally that’s not the case. New grass arrived with me for my 8a tee time. You are putting on Temp Greens on 7 & 9, but 8 needs replacement too.

Not a fun as normal. I’ll be back, when the greens are in better condition.

Greens…..are atrocious

I play at Charlie Yates all the time. I have no clue what happened to the greens, but it looks like something happened to them, and half of the greens were basically dirt/unplayable. There was no warning from the staff or the clubhouse, but the greens up until the end of May were amazing, and now they are so bad that I’m not sure it’s even worth playing. Disappointing, and I hope they get a solution working soon. Otherwise the layout and the course staff are fantastic.

What has happened to Charlie Yates

Apparently all the money went to the new clubhouse renovation, because the course is just terrible. Greens were furry, patchy, and weedy. And they are only a couple years old!!!

The little fairways that exist are just ok. But the bunkers are great, sadly that's the only thing.

Pace of play is wildly laughable for a 9 hole course. SEND A RANGER/ STARTER AROUND FFS. Also wildly overpriced at $45 for NINE HOLE PAR 3 COURSE.

The driving range is in shambles.... mats are in need of replacement, balls need to be refurbished, the netting on the right side of the range is detached, and when you aren't on the mats you're on a uneven dirt field. This driving range needs a compete overall and there is no excuse charging $11 for a small (50) bucket and $14 for a large (100) to use this range.

The practice green is super furry as always and the practice chipping green up the mountain you have to climb is probably the best part of the course.

The new clubhouse looks great and the people are amazing. Just gotta do something about the sorry state of the course.

@charlieyates I do not require anything. CY is the closest public course to me and I will continue to frequent it for practice, but until the range and course greens are improved, and the pace of play is held in check more by the course, it is 2 stars at best. I will gladly update my rating when CY invests in the above

Pro needs to lose the attitude

The course itself was fine. Nothing special but you get what you pay for. However the pro was about as rude as can be. I showed up about 40 minutes early to get some range time and practice in, he goes “You’re too early. Your tee time isn’t for another 40 minutes.” So I say, yes I know, I came early to hit some balls on the range. You’d think he’d be appreciative of the fact I was spending more money at the course, but nope he gave me an eye roll and said that’ll be $10. Also when it was time for me to tee off, there were no carts so he had me go harass the group coming off of 9 for their cart. I’d come back since the course was decent, but really don’t want to have to deal with that guy again.
