Yankee Trace introduces new golf membership tiers and streamlined service hours

Centerville's City Council meeting on January 13, 2025, highlighted significant updates to the local golf facility, Yankee Trace, aimed at enhancing member experience and accessibility. The council discussed a new tiered membership program for the practice facility, which includes three levels: yellow, blue, and black. The yellow tier, priced at $250, offers $100 in pre-purchased credits, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious golfers.

The blue and black tiers provide additional benefits, including access to a members-only area and the ability to share golf ball credits with friends and family. This flexibility is a departure from traditional golf course practices, where memberships often restrict usage to the individual member. The new system allows users to conveniently access golf balls through a rainfall dispenser, reducing wait times and improving the overall experience.

Council members expressed appreciation for the upgrades and the work put into the facility, noting that the changes have already led to increased participation. The operational hours for the facility were also clarified, with the sales office open from 9 AM to 5 PM, while the golf shop will extend hours seasonally, ensuring that staff are available to assist visitors.

These enhancements reflect the council's commitment to improving community amenities and making recreational activities more accessible to residents. As the golf facility continues to evolve, the council anticipates further positive impacts on community engagement and satisfaction.
