New York Country Club

NYCC was a pleasant surprise. I have been living and playing golf in the NYC metro area for 30 years and just discovered this place. I guess because of the name I thought it was a private club. My friend got us a tee time late afternoon in October and a wet, misty day, knowing we would likely miss the last several holes, but since it was a low fee, we went.

Overall, an excellent experience, which the course itself determined...

The staff did not help much....showed up to clubhouse-- most of the staff kind of acted like they would rather do anything else but work there...barely acknowledged us, we had to ask- is there a range? How do we get the carts?- "Oh go ask some guy down there..." Noone to direct us..I think they hired a bunch of teenagers who have had no training in customer service or manners...

Luckily the guys we were playing with had played there a few times and helped.

The driving range is meh- irons only with mats...just 2 flags-- around 90 yards & 130 yards...

Now-- once we hit the 1st tee- whole mood changed-- wow what a classic setup-- fairways, bunkers are pristine. Some absolutely gem holes. As I was playing- i started thinking- this is one of the best layouts for public play in the region... pace of play was good- a few short waits, but nothing bad. greens were a little beat up, but i think thats more of people not fixing ball marks...

Was sad that it got too dark after hole 14, so had to leave early...

Will definitely be back.

I found an early tee time for Sunday morning , which is a rarity this time year when the weather is so nice. Our foursome all drove 45 min to one hour to get to the course and were there early.

We were informed there was a 40 minute backup , which I can understand under certain circumstances circumstances. This wasn’t one of them. As we were in the bullpen waiting for the group infront of us to tee off, another foursome was escorted to the box by staff and put infront of us. Come to find out they were the 4th group of the day to get squeezed in with no tee time. No Bueno!

There are some positives: the course was in really good shape, the greens and pin placement were spot on and the staff was awesome.

Take away- I would play this track again but probably during the week when it’s not as crowded and can really enjoy it, not sit and wait for almost every shot. Five plus hours is not my idea of a round of golf

Tee to green good putting terible. Tough to read the greens

The course is in great shape. The greens were very firm and super fast. The pin positions also made it really tough and I felt like playing in pro games. The pin position should encourage the weekend golfers to come back to the course.

some holes, there are many gooses, so too many bird droping,

when I golf swing, I had to move ball, this is no good.

Great course. Played in less than 4 hours and let us go out as a twosome in the middle of the day.

A very busy golf course, challenging, beautiful and the views are great. Enjoyed playing the first 3 holes then pace of play slowed down so much, no marshall, just be patient, but overall great place to play.

Excellent place to meet up in the tristate area. Amazing staff at every level. Super friendly. All the good parts of a country club, none of the stiffness. I’ll be back

Course was in great shape. Definitely had some tricky holes but was great to play. Will come back and play this again.
