The Yards

Really enjoyed the course and conditions. Punches above its price range.

Not a very challenging course. Greens have so much undulation I was expecting to see a clown or windmill. Forget trying to make a putt. This course is not for me.

The redesigned 9 holes are very nice. Greens and fairways in top shape. Very walkable course. The 3 par threes across the street were o k.

A little pricey for what it is.

I’m fairly new to the area and this is a review of probably my 6th/7th round at The Yards. I very much enjoy the course, and overall my experiences have been very pleasant - great staff, course condition, and bar/amenities for after the round. This past Sunday, I played 12 holes with a friend after a very rainy week. Early tee time, wet course, we expected some restrictions. We were told cart path only and the last three holes (short par 3’s) would be walking. No big deal. At the turn however, we asked to just keep everything sitting in our cart while walking the last few holes rather than emptying everything out (coffee, water, towels etc), especially since the carts aren’t allowed in the parking lot. This would not only be inconvenient but would slow us down with a group behind us. Cart shack guy told us no problem, so we parked the cart, grabbed our bags and walked toward holes 10-12. Not 5 minutes later, he’s coming out on a cart with another driver and getting into our cart, taking it away with our belongings still inside. We flagged him down and he said “Sorry, I need the cart for another group.” Now, we had just passed the cart shack where we asked if we could keep the cart in the first place. There were 10-15 dry carts ready to go, on a fairly rainy and miserable day when I didn’t see many other groups coming out behind us.

Again, I have no issue walking the last 3 holes to help keep the course in great condition. But to charge $71 for a 12 hole round, and then take the convenience of the cart away - even just to keep our belongings in while walking - after we’ve already paid for it…. That rubbed me the wrong way. I can’t say I wouldn’t come back to play here again, but I was disappointed with the level of service we received during this round.

Will definitely play again. Course was in terrific shape and was able to cruise through the 12-hole layout in about 2 hrs.

The Yards is a great walkable golf course. Thankfully it is only 9 - 12 holes.

However, there was no starter at the first tee and there were no rangers to assist in slow play in front of us. It took 2.5 hours to play 9 holes.

Play here and get treated like family …. At least that’s how we felt! Love the team out there - great folks!

If you're in the area, this 12-hole course is worth every penny! The course design, greens, and conditions are on par with the stadium course without the price tag. Bring your friends or family and enjoy the experience, you won't regret it!
