I played Yale with my father 15 years ago. We had the best day ever. The course had so much backbone!
Nate Mady
The design and layout of this golf course is amazing. If you hit the ball well, then you can score well. But make sure you don’t get into some of the green side bunkers or you will have to hike out! The maintenance is just horrible right now. The course will close this fall for a major restoration. It is well needed. The greens did not winter well and were half dead and very bumpy. The staff was super nice. They went way out of their way to make us feel welcome. I went expecting a top 50 public course and found the design was a top 50 but the quality was not even close. Can’t way for it to open back up in a couple years.

I played on September 4th as a YGC Guest. The tee boxes were horrendous, the fairways were nonexistent, some bunkers were rock hard, and the greens were bumpy and not maintained. For $125 I expected much more. The only positive was the staff at the course - everyone was extremely kind and welcoming.

CB MacDonald gem. Course is in great condition. Couple of burnouts on a few greens but does not effect play at all Pete's an awesome guy. Huge asset to the course

Have been enjoying the great conditions this spring at the course. Need to play as much as possible before the close for renovation at the end of the season.
