I've played this course for years. It was a staple for me for a long time. Like many, I had decided not to play there anymore after its decline.
I was recently talked into returning to see the changes under new management.
I was blown away-probably because my expectations were low. The course is playing great. The bunkers are well kept, the fairways and greens are nice, and the course is playable for all levels.
The Yorktown course has a little bit for everyone. Blind shots, long holes, short holes, doglegs, bunkers, etc....
What I liked most about it is that you aren't hitting driver, 8 iron on every hole. You have to be creative.
The clubhouse has an amazing staff and the food in the grill is better than ever. It isn't just golf course food-although, they have that, too.
I will return........tomorrow, actually.

Not spectacular, but a very playable course. It was very windy when I played, so it was a little more difficult than normal. It also has some very scenic holes. I would certainly play again when in the area.

I thought this course was very nice. The views on some of the holes are spectacular, charming, old trees hang over the fairways, and the staff and clubhouse seem like 1960's Charleston.
Some holes are tight, some open up. A couple of long par 3s and short par 5s.
The grass on the greens confused me, but they roll pretty well. They are small, though. The bunkers need some serious work, but just stay out of them and you will be fine.
I liked it, it isn't as pristine as some of the newer courses, but its charm makes it feel like money well spent.

This is the second time I have played here and again it was great. The greens were a little thicker than last time, but understandable because it had rained a lot the last couple of days.
Pace of play was a little slow because there was some kind of junior tournament. But who cares?

Rough-All weeds
Bunkers-Really need work
Fairways-Mostly grass
Tee boxes-Hit or miss
Greens-It would not be fair for me to comment. They are being worked on, but look like they are slow greens as a rule.

This is a long course. Make sure you go with the correct tee box. But it is wide and forgiving. The Greens are perfect! Always fun to play, and never too busy that you are waiting between shots.

Great greens, great fairways, interesting holes. I have played this course several times and it never disappoints.
