Nestled in the Lower Hudson Valley, Putnam County Golf Course enjoys a scenic location amid rolling hills yet it’s not too far from the city. Formerly known as Putnam National, the club was originally opened as a private club in 1959, it opened to the public when it was bought by the county in 2004 but it continues to offer the quality and amenities of a private country club. The golf course has front and back nines that are completely different from one another so be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag. Water hazards only come into play on two holes but don’t let that fool you, this course is formidable even for avid golfers. Putnam County Golf Course's final four holes are an especially challenging stretch that will test you with everything from uphill lies to a slew of strategically placed bunkers.

Waiting

While conditions continue to improve the slow pace of play and lack of course management is evident while entire back nine sat open I as a single was paired with three novice golfers then proceeded to wait on every hole to play. Clearly better management should be implemented to ease,pace of play. No common sense here. Enjoy conditions super is great. Bring a lawn chair.

Cart included… but nope

Booked the time and it said cart was included. Then I drove all the way there for them to tell me it was walking only. Need to do a better job of making sure GolfNow has that you are walking on and not cart included if we can’t use them. Total waste of my day.

Been playing it for years, it’s in decent condition. Pace of play should absolutely improve though.

Private course feel

Course was in great shape and staff was awesome. You almost feel like you are in a private club when you pull up. Groups were spaced and we didn't feel like we waited much or were rushed.

Not Sure

Singed up to play 18. Was told league night might have to play back 9 twice. No problem. Finish up first 9. 2 foursomes and two walkers waiting to tee off. $73 for 9 holes Couldn’t bring coolers in cart because cart girl is there. 95 degrees and cart girl never came once. Not sure if golf now is aware or approves of this but I’ve never signed up to play 18 and only play 9 and then have to deal with those non friendly starters you get from time to time. Sad
