Variety of holes

The course was very fair. Greens looked faster then they actually were. Pace of play could be a problem. Holes offered a variety of shots and approaches. They were short on staff in bar/restaurant area.

Course is very playable

Would have given 5 stars if greens were a little faster. Course appears tighter than it actually is. Only one quirky hole. A lot of holes require carry over water.

Local knowledge a must

Can't beat the price as many courses often charge twice as much and limited tee times especially in the summer months. Pace of play may impact enjoyment. You need a lot of local knowledge. Several severe dog legs and layups in front of unseen water hazards. Most holes are used friendly.

Country Club greens

Greens ran true and fast. Easy to short side yourself with raised greens. I rated this course a 5 but it could have been a 1 based on pace of play. Observant ranger noticed our group was behind a group of 12. After playing 1st hole there were still 8 people on 2nd tee. We were allowed to start on back and played at a leisurely pace of 4 hours.

Stay out of rough and sand

Tight driving areas. Most greens did not require a carry, unlike most Nicklaus courses. Fair layout. Rough was very penalizing. Sand very wet and hard. A lot of holes had water as an obstacle.

Deceptive. Not as open as it looks

Great demanding course. Plenty of water and deep fairway bunkers narrow your landing areas. Changes in elevation. Lots of holes require a carry unto the green or off the tee. Greens have subtle breaks but need to be maintained a little better.(keeping from rating a 5).

Greens have to get better to recommend

Courses have a ton of potential. What separates good golf courses are their greens. These had bare spots and were bumpy unlike other courses in the area. Currently under new management and their plan is to upgrade the greens. Unfortunately played front nine of Yorktown which was very fair and wide open. Only a few holes required a carry off the tee. Back nine played Jamestown which was tight, difficult par 3s and local knowledge of dogleg distances.

Worth the price

Course had been closed for renovations until September. Fairways played soft and greens were extremely slow. Great test of golfing ability especially with swirling winds. All par 3s required a carry onto the green. Layout involved both long and short par 4s, several doglegs, water hazards and plenty of sand. High handicappers will struggle because greens were small and required a high ball flight to stay on the greens. Bermuda collars made chipping precise. The walk up 18 is very scenic.

One of the cheapest places to play

Greens were great. Unfortunately we played in the morning dew and they had just over seeded their greens. Pace of play in the off season was fantastic, less than four hours. Great course for golfers who don't hit a high ball, there were no force carries to any greens. Judging how the ball hits bermuda collars is tricky. Had wide fairways, big greens and several short par 3s. I thought the back played harder and longer than the front. If you stay on the island you may have traffic issues reaching this course during peak season. It would be very difficult to walk this course although between greens and tees the ride was very scenic.

Playing winter rules in the summer

The layout of the course is outstanding. Mostly wooded with water in play on some holes. Greens were in great shape. Fairways, collars, tee boxes, and rough were in poor condition. There are very few 18 hole public courses in lower Delaware and the closer you get to the beach the courses raise their rates ($85 - $150) and are very crowded. If you can get on for under $40 and play winter rules the course is worth playing.

Great course for mid handicap

Several short par 4s. On long par fours and the par fives little to no trouble in front of greens. Holes 17 and 18 are worth the wait. Course was not conducive to walking especially from hole 18 back to clubhouse. Course was in great shape for the middle of winter.

Choose correct tees

I played from the blue tees about 6300 yds, my playing partner played from the whites which only played about 5800. Must hit a straight tee shot. High handicappers will struggle because several holes required a carry to green. Short par 4s were quirky requiring correct yardage of tee to avoid trouble. Par 5s on back were quirky as well requiring a lay up on tee shot followed by hole opening up on 2nd shot. Greens are fast and small.

Heat and rain have created poor conditions

Was shocked at the conditions of this course. Played course after a week of temperatures in the 90s. Several greens were simply unplayable and should have been closed. Other greens had damage from mowers. Even a 2 foot putt was an adventure. Too be fair, my playing partner said the course was in excellent condition in early July. The par 3s over water were great. Wouldn't play this course for any price unless you are out for a practice round improving your iron play.
