Yankee Trace (Heritage & Legend)

The Golf Club at Yankee Trace features 27 holes designed by Gene Bates and Matt Swanson. The “Heritage” and “Legend” nines are combined to create the championship routing, which measures more than 7,100 yards from its tips.

There are a number of small creeks that cut across fairways throughout this route, but the most-hyped hazards will certainly be its bunkers, some of the largest in Ohio. The 508-yard No. 6 hole will certainly be a reachable distance for those able to contend with the back tees’ yardage, however the expansive sand pits that trace the entirety of this hole will make most think twice. The closing hole is almost the exact same idea except for a slight drop in yardage (down to 502) and the property’s largest lake hugging the fairway along the right side instead of sand.

This route weave through homes planned around the course, so also consider there may be additional eyes on you before making a regrettable shot choice.
