Great course but be prepared for a slow round

Course is great staff are friendly but because it's an Executive Par 3 (couple Par 4) you get some very slow players some of who take multiple practice swings and shots amd some who offer on course coaching also with multiple swings and hits. So it can get frustrating. Everyone had to learn but when course is busy players should be more considerate to the pace of play. Great little course though so will definitely stay on my places to play.

Great value for money.

Short 9 holes that’s perfect for decent and beginner players. Some solid holes and a couple of interesting over water shots from the back and middle tees. Happily knock out 9 holes there again anytime. Absolutely recommend it!

Great local course

Came into to visit from Chicago...was worried 9 holes wouldn't be enough, but this course gives you everything you're looking for. short and long par 3s, birdie able par 4s, and a beast of a par 5 over water (the last hole is a beast too). Great course for all..plus if 9 isn't enough, they've got an awesome grass and turf driving range to go with a separate pitching/chipping/putting areas

Major improvements

This course is night/day from what it was 3-5 years ago. Major quality upgrades on all tee boxes and greens, and excellent remodel job in the clubhouse.

Only 9 holes total but a great quick, exec course option in Atlanta.

Great way to spend time with my 13 year old grandson

It's wonderful to see my grandson enjoy being out on a very good course. For an infrequent golfer, he is good enough to play well at times, and the challenging layout gave him all he could handle.
The young lady inside the clubhouse started our day off with a very cheerful smile and "good luck" wishes. Even though the driving range wasn't open on Monday morning, we were able to tee off a bit early with only a few other golfers around. This allowed us to work on his game a bit during the round. We look forward to returning.

Pace of Play

Piece of play was absolutely atrocious. There were almost 2 or three groups waiting at every box of every hole. It took us well over three hours to play a nine hole golf course. The Marshall was much more interested in talking on the phone than governing anything. Felt like one of the days where the clubhouse just wanted to squeeze as many people onto the course as possible.

I’ve played here a few times, and never had this bad of an experience

Very convenient!

The course is good for walking. No par 5 courses, so I can say this has no challenges. I just enjoy the nice weather.

The location is good, near to my work. I can casually visit there after work.

Staff is very kind.

Top Short Course

Yates is awesome. Par 30 (6 3s and 3 4s). Nicely conditioned, fun and challenging layout. Awesom practice facility. Youth on Course program. And now they serve beer. Golf as it should be. Carry or get a push cart to enjoy it fully.
