The closure of an American gem ends September 28th when Yale Golf Course reemerges from an extended pandemic closure and ensuing deterioration.

Anthony Pioppi first reported the news of our nation’s top college course finally reopening for play long after almost all golf facilities have enjoyed upticks in play during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thanks to reader Tim for sending this compilation of photos and news items related to Yale in 2020. You’ll see some of the conditioning issues as well as efforts to get the CB Macdonald and Seth Raynor masterwork back in playing shape.
