What the Players Think of The Course at Yale
George Bryan, sophomore player
University of South Carolina
“It’s tricky but fun. It challenges all aspects of your game. Whoever wins here is going to be playing the best. You are not getting through here by being lucky. It’s all about your skills when playing this course.”
John Fields, Head Coach
University of Texas
“It’s a thrill for our guys to come and play a piece of golf history. C.B. Macdonald did an outstanding job almost 90 years ago. It really has stood the test of time. We feel very fortunate to be able to come and compete on this course.”
Patrick Rada, senior player
University of South Carolina
“It is beautiful, and it’s obvious Yale has put a lot of work into it. The condition is second to none. It has a lot of character and elevation change. It’s a fun course to play. Every hole seems different than the other 17.”
Clint Tolleson, sophomore player
University of South Carolina
“It is very interesting and a lot of fun. The nature element sets it apart. We saw deer and turkey, and it felt like an old fashioned golf course. The greens gave it lot of character, each of them very different but equally hard.”
Chris Rockwell, senior player
Vanderbilt University
“It’s an awesome course. It’s like opening up a time capsule. It reminds me of Crestwick and the Old Course at St. Andrew. Our team took a trip there last summer. We all thought the Yale course reminded us of the courses over there. Having played over there will help us here this week.”
