Great Intown Golf

by go2ron

This is a great spot for beginners with lots of par 3’s. The front 9th is very fun with the back 9 a little more challenging. Nice driving range and a great price.

• Pros: Intown, Great Friday Afternoon Spot
• Cons: None

The younger sister of the prestigious East Lake Golf Club, this little public track is great for a casual round.

In Short
The site of the original East Lake #2 course, opened in 1930, the front nine feels like an old-school track while the back nine is modern and space-saving. Built by Tom Cusins the same year he revitalized next door's East Lake Golf Club, the Yates course is a small, par 58 executive size course that boasts the same greens keeper to the exclusive next door neighbor. The course is open to the public, and with its'short length is perfect for folks just learning the game, or those who want a casual afternoon round. Keeping with East Lake's motto of "Golf with a Purpose," the Yates course allows any neighborhood kid under the age of 18 to play for free. Look for a lot of par 3's and a few short par 4's among the occasional glimpse over the fence at East Lake

Hidden Jewel of public golf

This sister to East Lake Country Club is a well maintained course with a quasi par 3 feel, but has plenty of long holes on the back nine.

Always easy to get on.
