The Yardley Country Club Review

We joined last year and I am very happy that we did. I was reluctant to commit to playing that much golf, but we did get out a decent amount - sometimes only playing a few holes if time was an issue. The course is gorgeous, the food and drinks at Alexanders are great and the staff always does a fantastic job. The other members that we've met over the past year have been friendly and inviting, especially during Wednesday night trivia and Friday happy hours at Alexander's.

Good golf course, greens in excellent condition... friendly staff.

Excellent conditions. Very playable golf course. Greens are perfect, fast and they protect the course. This is not a modern power track. It's old style and straight forward.

Nice course but I did not see it as anything special.

Attended the Annual Bucks County Association of Realtors Inauguration. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic. The room was decorated nicely. They really paid attention to details.

Course is in great shape. Staff is very responsive.

Attended two events at The Yardley Country Club in 2017, and both were wonderfully elegant. High ceilings with beautiful chandeliers, overlooking their magnificent grounds. Thoughtful decor of dignified taste; which I would describe as more cozy and less gaudy in the traditional country club style. Service, food and drink were superb. Food was fresh, creatively presented and really good. Plenty of free parking in a serene nature-filled setting.

Extended course review:
Yardley Country Club offers a different challenge for today s golfer; trying to figure out why it is a private course.
At 100 years old, Yardley pales in comparison to other local greats (Makefield Highlands), but the golf course s terrific design keeps it viable for the many members who play here. There are downsides. My Rueben was a ham and cheese sandwich. The greens are fast but boring (not a good combination). And then there are the trees, which are so tall that they decrease the usability of many portions of the fairways. Fairways leave something to be desired anyway. As strategic as they are, they only really get interesting and exciting toward the later holes. The back is the better nine.
But there s two other factors in effect here: exclusivity and the atmosphere. Exclusivity is why the members sign up here, why my round was under three hours, and really the main reason why this is a five star review (if you get the chance to play here, do it because it doesn t come around too often). But the other reason it is five star is because of atmosphere. Golf LIVES here. Competitions are going on around you. Men and TONS of women are totally invested in this place with the golf tournaments and competitions, which is a beautiful thing. You can t escape the chatter. It s all around you.
That s terrific for members, but is exclusivity and the social/competitive aspect enough to make you sign up to be a new member? Is it enough keep you playing here with numerous choices of public courses nearby that are downright better, but busier?

Really lovely place ! The staff was very attentive & courteous. And the food was good also. We had a great Christmas party !
