Yuma Golf and Country Club: Guest Rules, Public Tee Times and Membership

Yuma Golf and Country Club is Yuma's member-owned club, a flat, tree-lined par 72 next to the airport, 10 minutes from downtown. Guests do not need a member: public tee times are sold on the club's own booking page up to 7 days ahead. Public green fees, guest rules and membership dues are not published, so call 928-726-4210 first.

That makes it the one club-style course in town a visitor can book directly. Here is what is published, what is not, and the public courses nearby if it does not work out.

Is Yuma Golf and Country Club private or semi-private?

Both, by the club's own words. It calls itself "the only private golf facility in Yuma" and also "Yuma's only semi-private country club". The practical answer is semi-private: the home page links a "Public Tee Times" booking page where non-members can book up to 7 days ahead, while members book separately through a member login.

Expect members and member events to take priority in winter. The club does not publish any extra visitor limits for peak season, but it does not publish a guarantee either.

Rules for guests and visitors

What the published sources say about playing as a non-member:

• Public tee times: book on the club's own EZLinks page, up to 7 days ahead. On Oct 23, 2026 the public search window ran Oct 23 to 30. The club is not on GolfNow's public tee sheet, and booking sites that list it as private show no times.
• Green fees: shown only inside the booking engine, which blocked automated reading in October 2026. No rate sheet is posted on the club site. Call 928-726-4210.
• Member-guest play and "Member for the Day": both have been mentioned in other listings, but the club has not confirmed how they work.
• Carts: available. Metal spikes are not allowed. A walking policy is not published by the club.
• Dress: appropriate golf attire, per the GolfNow listing; the club's own rules are not published.

If you are visiting for a few days, the simplest approach is to book a public time once your date opens and confirm the price on the phone.

Reciprocal play

The club does not describe a reciprocal program on its site. If you belong to a private club at home, ask your pro to call the Yuma Golf and Country Club golf shop before your trip, and ask whether member-guest or "Member for the Day" access is available. None of this is confirmed in writing.

Seasonal and full memberships

The club says it is accepting membership applications in all categories, but it publishes no dues, initiation fees or seasonal membership prices. For details, call 928-726-4210 or email ygcc@ygcc.org. There are no public punch cards or passes.

For winter visitors who want a season of golf at a fixed price, the published alternatives are course passes elsewhere:

Our guide to Yuma golf passes compares every option, and the Mesa del Sol Golf Club guide covers the pass terms in detail.

The course

Yuma Golf and Country Club is a traditional tree-lined parkland course, flat, with several ponds and a lake by the clubhouse. The greens and fairways are bermuda, overseeded each fall. We rate it 3 of 5: tight tree-lined fairways and ponds, with little forced carry.

These are USGA figures. The Advanced tees carry the highest women's rating of any course on our Yuma map.

The first nine opened on Dec 10, 1950 and the second nine was completed in 1958. The clubhouse was rebuilt in 1987 and the irrigation replaced in 2006. The club has hosted rounds of the Yuma County Open, a local amateur event held on Labor Day weekend (2017 used Yuma Golf & Country Club, Desert Hills and Mesa del Sol).

Booking a visit, step by step

1. Watch the 7-day window. Public times for your date appear on the club's EZLinks page a week ahead.
2. Call for the rate. The price is not posted outside the booking engine, so confirm it with the golf shop at 928-726-4210.
3. Plan around member events. Winter is the members' busiest season, so ask whether a tournament or member day falls on your date.
4. Check the calendar for air-show day. The club is next to Yuma International Airport, which shares its runways with Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The free MCAS Yuma Airshow is on Saturday, Mar 13, 2027, and brings heavy traffic around the base and airport.
5. Set an Arizona clock. Yuma stays on Mountain Standard Time, so from Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027 it is one hour ahead of San Diego and Palm Springs.

For booking windows at every course, see Yuma tee times in winter.

Overseed

The Arizona Golf Association's 2026 list shows the club overseeding, with dates from the club, and the club site had no notice on Oct 23, 2026. In 2024 it closed Oct 4 and reopened Oct 21 (Yuma Sun). Check before planning an early-October round. Our Yuma golf overseed guide has the other courses' dates.

Practice, dining and the clubhouse

Yuma Golf and Country Club has a full driving range, a practice putting green, a chipping green and video swing analysis. The clubhouse grill, called The Club, lists:

Weekly specials include Wing Wednesday and Burgers & Draft Thursday. Whether non-members who are not playing can eat there is not stated. There are banquet rooms for up to 250, a pro shop and locker rooms, plus two lighted tennis courts and a pool for members, open Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Public alternatives nearby

If you cannot get a time or a rate that works, three public courses are close:

• Desert Hills: the city's municipal 18, 11 minutes from downtown, with a Jan-Mar rate of $75 with a cart or $55 walking before 11 AM and walking allowed at all times. See our Desert Hills Golf Course guide and the Desert Hills course guide.
• Arroyo Dunes Par 3: the city's 18-hole par 3, 9 minutes from downtown, $20 to walk 18 in Jan-Mar.
• Mesa del Sol: 21 minutes east in the Foothills, $35 to $55 with a cart in late October 2026, and open through overseed. See the Mesa del Sol course guide.
