The Golf Club at Yankee Trace touts the title of "Dayton's best golf course" as well as being the top public course in the entire Miami Valley. The club has two courses, the nine-hole Vintage Course and the challenging 18-hole Championship Course. Both courses sprawl across lush, grassy meadows. The Vintage Course has a classic design that is player-friendly enough for beginner. For more advanced players, it is great for some quick practice or as a warm-up to the longer golf course. In addition to the 27 holes of golf, Yankee Trace also offers a bentgrass practice range. One of the main reasons the club has remained so popular since opening is the staff's commitment to providing country club atmosphere and service for the price of a public course.

Course in great condition

Winds were 17mph but temp was close to 70 degrees.
Course was in great shape especially with all the rain the course received over the last few days.

Still in winter shape, but a good track.

For a public, city-owned course, the facilities are fantastic. However, the clubhouse is under construction and mostly unaccessable. Many of the fairways are still grooved from late fall aeration, resulting in bad lies, and the greens are in rough shape. The sandtraps are inconsistent and often wet. Having said all of that, I have played here for years and feel very confident by mid-April it will be back to its awesome shape. Right now though, don't expect mid-season conditions.

Better than most

One of the best courses I’ve ever played. Pace of play somewhat slow initially, not from overbooking. Had foursome ahead of us that thought they were playing in the PGA. Lining up puts from all directions. Taking ridiculous amount of time to take any shots.
Gentlemen, Ready Golf!

Fortunately, ranger came by, and recommended they pick up the pace.
Thankfully they did...
Great Course!!!

Awesome Golf Course!

Used to be a scratch handicap, and played at a high armature and collegient level for years. Played some great courses. This one def ranks above and beyond! Played Heritage and Legend. Over 7100 yards, a challenge for even the most skilled players, but with various tee boxes anyone at any level can enjoy this course! Played the tips and was a true test. Love this course, the amenities such as the GPS on the golf carts! Def will be back again and again! Booked a late afternoon Saturday tee time, best $40 you'll spend in the Cinci-Dayton area!
