About the course
This is a traditional-style course with large greens, hilly terrain and water coming into play on a number of holes. There are beautiful, mature trees lining all the fairways. GOLF Magazine rated this course 52nd among the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." for 1995, 58th in 1997 and 76th in 1999. "GOLFWEEK" ranked it 68th among "America's 100 Best Classical Courses" for 1997, 63rd for 1998 and 76th in 1999. Only members and their guests can play this course.
Signature Hole: 9 Yale's signature hole is world-famous due to its unusual 65 yard-deep green with an eight foot depression separating the front and back. The tee shot requires at least a 190 yard carry over water to the green. Any wayward tee shot will find woods, making both distance and accuracy a premium. Depending on whether the pin is located on the front or the back portion of the green, to allow any attempt at par the ball must be placed on the correct area of the green. Any ball finding the depression faces an extremely difficult two putt. The traps to both sides of the green also leave a tricky up and down. If played correctly, this hole will give up its share of birdies, yet if played poorly, expect the hole to win. The hole is one of GOLF MAGAZINE's "Top 100 Holes in the World."
