At Old York Country Club, Gary Player and his design team sculpted a breathtaking 6,903-yard golf course that uniquely blends the natural landscape of a former 180-acre equestrian estate with the exacting standards of world-class course design. Acclaimed for its playability and conditioning, the course at Old York Country Club boasts rolling fairways carved around native grasses and majestic trees. Elevation changes of up to 75 feet, deep bunkers and meticulously manicured greens add drama as well as aesthetic beauty and visual appeal to the course. With five or more tee positions, golfers of all skill levels will enjoy the strategic course design offering traps and challenges that meld with the natural terrain, creating a course-scape that respects and celebrates the integrity of the land.
