A great course to play at

Staff is very nice. Course layout is a little tight for people that slice. Other than that Yankee golf course is a great place to play a round.

Course was in great shape

Played Heritage to Legends and the course was in great shape. Rough was tall so it's best to avoid it. Pace of play was on track for under 4 hours/18 holes. Slowed down around 15 or 16 but still finished in a little over 4 hours.

Should be renamed “Quagmire Links”

A nice walking course, but if you can’t walk, be aware that this course drains very poorly and is usually cart-paths-only. All year long there are spots in some fairways where a ball will plug. (Maddeningly, even if rain is certain, the sprinklers still will be working overtime.) As you might expect, MANY of the traps are better described as water hazards than sand traps, and it should be no surprise that place of play is usually quite slow.

Possibly the most frustrating aspect of these conditions is that city-owned Yankee Trace has no mortgage, and as much play as they want, but they choose to spend their millions on clubhouse expansion rather than the actual golf course. As a golfing resident of Centerville, it’s easy to feel our business is taken for granted.

Good shape for this time of year

Course was in pretty good shape for this time of year...bunkers could be cleaned up a bit though. Pace of play was decent. Only issue was the clubhouse had the wrong tee time for our group compared with what I booked on golfnow. Will definitely go back, always a good place to play.

Slow play

Course conditions were good , play was SLOW. We waited at every tee often with another group ahead of us. Never saw a ranger all day. No good reason it should take 5 hours to play here!
