Overview
Though it contained a classic collection of Raynor favorites, including a Road Hole, a Biarritz, a Redan and even a Prize Dogleg (based on an entry from a 1914 magazine design contest), Yeamans Hall suffered from benign neglect for 50 years, with bunkers overgrown and greens both shrunk by mowing habits and mushroomed by topdressing. But in the later 1980s, the course superintendent discovered Raynor’s original plans in the clubhouse attic. Architect Tom Doak and his then-associate Jim Urbina used the plans to faithfully restore Raynor features. Urbina continues to implement restoration touches and Yeamans Hall today is one of the country's most polished and evocative examples of Raynor's architecture on a relatively flat piece of Lowcountry land.

Review
“For those who enjoy old traditionalist golf clubs, it is a good place to go. A Seth Raynor design. I went in February one year and old greens and fairways grasses were dormant at this time of year. Need some time to mature. A place with a lot of soul with typical southern charm and atmosphere"

“Interesting, old-style design, but maybe a little overrated by reviewers who consider themselves to be golf course experts"
