Course Conditions

The course had been hit with a lot of rain the day before and the bunkers were flooded.
Would suggest that they improve the drainage for their bunkers.

Very Balanced Course

We played Heritage and Legend after a bunch of rain on a Golf Now Hot Deal for a 11:30 tee time. The course had standing water on it, but that was due to the amount of rain the prior two days and even earlier in the day that we played. Despite that, the course was in excellent condition.

The course has a nice mix of hole and difficulty and we really enjoyed playing it. I don't think it is worth the $68 that we would normally have to pay to play it on the weekend, but if you can grab a Hot Deal and get it for $45 or less, than I think you should give it a go. $45 is generally my play group's max for course fees, for a reference.

Really nice course in great condition (particularly tee boxes; among the best I've seen anywhere, and NOT to detract from the fairways and greens which were also in very good shape). Pace of play was generally good, though a bit disappointing that we came up upon slower play ahead of us on the 2nd 9. Not enough to downgrade my opinion of the course, though, as I suppose that is to be expected at a 27-hole facility.

First tee time following an outing!

My only complaint was we were the first time after an outing that was not a shotgun start. Had three groups on a tee a couple of times. After 9 holes the outing was done; 2.5 hour front 1.5 hour back side. No one mentioned the outing until we hit one of their fundraising tees.

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.
