Frequently Asked Questions

Is Charlie Yates a good course for beginners or a quick round?

Yes, absolutely. This 9-hole, par-30 layout is perfect if you're looking to squeeze in a quick game or introduce someone new to golf without the pressure of a full 18. We found the course design forgiving enough for newer players but still offers a few challenges to keep things interesting.

What's the vibe like playing golf in an urban setting at Charlie Yates?

You'll find a surprisingly peaceful escape right in the city. While it's an urban course, the mature trees and well-kept grounds create a pleasant atmosphere, making you forget you're just minutes from downtown Atlanta. Expect a friendly, community-focused feel, especially with its First Tee connection.

When's the best time to play Charlie Yates, and should I book ahead?

We recommend playing on a weekday morning for the most relaxed experience, though weekend afternoons can be lively. Tee times are generally affordable, but it's always smart to book online a few days in advance, especially if you're visiting during peak season or want a specific time slot.

How challenging are the greens and fairways at Charlie Yates?

Don't let the 9-hole layout fool you; the greens here are often well-maintained and can offer some subtle breaks that will test your putting. The fairways are generally open, but a few holes require thoughtful club selection to avoid the mature trees, making it more engaging than a typical pitch-and-putt.

What makes Charlie Yates unique compared to other short courses?

Its strong connection to the East Lake Foundation and The First Tee program truly sets it apart. You're not just playing golf; you're supporting a fantastic community initiative, and you'll often see junior golfers learning the game, which adds a wonderful, inspiring energy to your round. It's golf with a purpose.
