Yadkin Country Club is a par-72 championship golf course that is one of the area's best kept secrets. It offers all the facets of Southern golf without the crowds. The Yadkin Valley stretches east from the Blue Ridge Mountains across the rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont. Like many golf courses in the area, Yadkin is routed up and down rolling terrain and through mature trees. The layout is challenging with an interesting mix of holes, none of which run parallel to each other. The par 3s are long and there are a few reachable par 5s. The par 4s will make you think, requiring thoughtful drives and approaches. Strategically placed bunkers and mounding lurk throughout and water hazards come into play on a few holes. Yadkin Country Club is a tough but fair layout that emphasizes strategy over strength.

The course.

The course is in okay condition, but where this course really shines is on their putting greens. They roll very pure and check well. Overall the course is fun and great for the money.

Great value for what we paid. Bent grass greens were great in mid March. I’d be hesitant but to come in the hot months.

Coming Back

When I play with a beginner, I look for courses that offer quality, decent pace of play and that are economical. Our first trip to Yadkin did not disappoint.

The long wait line to tee off had me a little worried until the staff did what every good staff does, find a solution. With it being early morning, they split the line in half sending us and a couple others off #10. After that, pace of play was as quick as we wanted it to be and afforded a few teaching moments along the way.

The course was in good shape, a few bad patches due to the lack of rain in the area for weeks, but overall really good. Personally I found a couple of holes to be "not very well thought out" #4 and #12, but I imagine if I played a few rounds here, it wouldn't be such a big deal. The red sand bunkers were different and we found some to be fluffy and some rock hard which added to the variety.

As for my wife who's a beginner, she loved it. For her there was plenty of room to hit the occasional bad shot and she was rewarded when making a nice shot, particularly off the tee. With the pace of play, we were able to have a few teaching moments that can't be replicated at the range, which didn't slow anyone down. She's looking forward to going back and we'll make the 90 minute drive gladly.

My only complaint is that it was hard to find course yardage markers on some holes. A small thing that wouldn't have mattered if we had brought our rangefinder.

Better every time

The YCC crew have done a great job on the course. Third time playing there this fall about a month a part and has been better every time. Greens roll great! Lots of areas being sodded and rehabbe. Played the ball down with no issues, Guy who left 1 star must have played bad or works for the competition.

The course has a couple “goofy” holes,, and some bare spots around the cart paths, but it was fun and a challenge to play.

Very friendly staff, for the money course was very nice. Greens roll true and with good pace. Really exceeded my expectation for a course in that location. Hope to play at Yadkin Country Club more in the future.

New management team hard at work

5 stars. Great experience. Sarah was very helpful with questions and friendly at the shop. You can see the work going into the course and the greens were rolled great. Several areas sodded that had been lacking in the past. They have a ways to go but even on the holes with a few bad spots in the fairway, the ball rolls thru to the grass. Played the ball down all day except for a couple of shots near cart paths. Excellent value, and from the back tees quite challenging. Look forward to even better conditions

Much improved

New owners are working hard to improve conditions --including tee boxes, cart-paths, fairway sod, bridge/stairway replacement. We were impressed with the friendly staff and will be sure to return soon.

New Management is awesome!!

I see the course trending in the right direction. Course is not in perfect condition, but much better than it was with previous management. New management is awesome and working hard to improve the course. Well worth the money for what you get!!

Good experience

The course wasn’t in bad shape the staff is doing a lot of renovations and putting new sod down still some iffy spots on some fairways. The greens were good just kind of slow. It’s a pretty narrow course but all and all for the money it was a good round I’d say it’s more for beginners or lower level players. Better players are probably gonna want to play at a little nicer of a course but the pace of play was great staff was great and I’d go back for the money only $10 for a hot deal!

Excellent course

A fine course with a perfect degree of difficulty, some holes forgiving, others not so much. The new owners are tremendous people and care about their customers and their experience. Had a wonderful day on the greens and I will be back soon

Needs Work

First off, staff was super nice. New ownership, has some new sod on the way-it’s needed. Course has a lot of dead spots. Many greens are rock hard. Most problematic was the layout and “maps.” Those definitely need some updating. I’d check it out once more $ is put into it. For a cheap round though, it is very challenging and can be a good round.
