Secrets out

No longer an after work spot, crowds of groms/beginners and alcoholics make for a 3 1/2 hour 9 hole round of golf.

The Yards is a wonderful 9 hole experience. Th ere are 3 practice par3s as well but I usually play just the 9 hole layout. The course is in perfect condition and is always a joy to play.

The only problem is that the course is pricey. You will pay more to play 9 holes at the Yards than most of the 18 hole courses in the area.

Great Course

Had a great round at the Yards. Course was excellent, challenging in places but very good. Driving range is one of the best I've seen,

Definitely booking another round soon.

Fairway Conditions

Very good turf to take divots in fairways. Greens were also well manicured (fast downhill). Great change of pace!

Nice Little Course

Great little course in the heart of Ponte Vera Beach. Play was at a decent pace, no delays etc.

Fairways were in great shape and the greens still showed signs of aerating but still in very nice, playable condition.

Great Way to Start the 4th Holiday!

Totally enjoyed The Yards! The 9 hole layout is great and is in terrific condition. I love what they have done out there with the premiere practice facility and well maintained golf course. Can't wait for the new food venue to be completed!

Give a warning about airiated greens and fairways

Nice layout. Wish I knew they recently airiated the greens and fairways before I made tee time. Should notify golfers on GOLFNOW website before they make a tee time. Would love to play the course with normal conditions.

Starter

This course is usually a great time, but the starter that runs the gig there is the worst. Always giving people a hard time. For the money it isn’t worth it… Jax Beach is night and day compared to this.
