Yale
The Course at Yale, designed by the inimitable Charles Blair Macdonald (the Father of American Golf Course Architecture), is ranked in the highest echelons of collegiate courses in America.
This wonderfully rugged, tree-lined and open parkland course is another wonderful example of Macdonald's ability to get the best from a given piece of terrain. In this case a wonderfully undulating, rocky, woodland environment. skill in getting the best designed provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy.
When it comes to collegiate golf courses, Yale has few peers. Perhaps the Oklahoma State course (Karsten Creek) and the Stanford University layout.
Visitors welcome on weekdays, and after 11am on weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted. Golf carts are fitted with GPS.
