New York Country Club

Course is beautiful, gorgeous views, it's tight in spots and the fescue is abundant. Great course rule of no out of bounds. You have to stay in the fairways to score well, once you're in the rough its tough getting out. Played a twosome and never waited. 3 3/4hr round

Always wanted to play a round there. And I'm glad I did. Challenging. Great views. Pace was perfect.

The course has many challenging holes I had never played there before and I felt like each hole kept testing me. But who doesn't love a good challenge? I was shocked to discover that the course is open to the public because the facility and course is so pristine that one would assume it would be members only. The scenic views are somewhat breath taking. I will definitely take my business back to New York Country Club!

NYCC is one of those courses that presents itself as a "country club experience" course. It even went so far as to name itself "country club."

What does it mean when a daily fee place seeks to sell itself this way? One should expect: better customer service, attentive and friendly staff and superior course conditions, especially the greens. And of course, elevated greens fees.

Right now, it should be renamed "New York Golf Course, " and should be offering $40 weekend rounds.

I should first note that some aspects of NYCC are still meeting the high expectations. Clubhouse staff and the men who help you with your bag when arriving or leaving are still friendly and helpful. (I personally would prefer to load my own bag onto my cart, and skip the "wipe-down your clubs?" routine, but I understand that is part of the country club treatment.) As before, NYCC features very pretty and nice ladies in the restaurant.

As for the couse. The tee boxes are in good shape. It's a pretty good track, with only a few weird holes (##9 and 17, for example). Not much else is good. The fairways were spotty. Most of the waste bunkers have weeds growing into them, which was not the case before. The greens were really beat up around the holes -- looked like they had been neglected for a while, and pins badly needed to be moved. Greenside bunkers are all infested with bees, and if you choose to play your ball despite the bees, you will find the sand to be packed and muddy -- not what they should be at these prices.

Particularly troubling was a ranger, with a tattoo on his forearm, who confronted us in a hostile, drill sergeant way. Acted as though we had snuck onto the course, while we had been sent out by course staff, in the absence of a starter. We were especially disgusted to hear him make what sounded like an ethnic slur against the man who loaded our clubs for us. Maybe he didnt intend the remark that way; but he doesn't belong at even the worst muny course.

For the big bucks this place is charging, I suggest any of the nearby alternatives.

First time I played here. Course was in good shape but the greens were all pockmarked by unprepared ball marks. Otherwise, the greens were in good shape too.
Staff was great. I'll play here again.

Played this course for the first time, and overall it was a very nice experience. Fairways are very tight with thick rough, plenty of trees and thick natural areas throughout the entire course. You have to keep your drives in the fairway if you want to score well. This is a VERY hilly course with some sort of elevation change on almost every hole. In fact, the 9th hole is one of the most dramatically uphill holes I've ever played. Its not super long, but it is literally straight up a mountain. The course was in good shape, but the greens were kind of dry which made them very fast and difficult to hold on approach shots. Couple the speedy dry greens with virtually no flat putts and putting was an adventure. I found it to be a bit pricey unless you go after 1PM, but the pace of play was good and I would go back and play again.

Played this course for the first time. It was a fun layout - a lot of elevation on holes 1,9, 10, and 18 make for some interesting shots. I played as a single and the course was not that crowded so I played through two groups and got around in under 3 hours. The greens were a bit disappointing as they were on the slow side and had a lot of ball marks, not quite "country club" standards. I wouldn't pay full price to play here but if you can get a good deal during the week or in the afternoon it is worth it.

I played as a foursome on July 3rd for the first time with my buddies. I couldn't have asked for a better day. We usually play Patriot Hills in Stony Point, NY, but we decided to play at New York Country Club.The greens were rolling great and consistent. Our pace was 4 hours and 20 mins which we thought was exceptional for a holiday weekend. The service was one of there best offers other than there course. Hot bartenders and good food. what more can you ask for.. I will be back

The condition of the course is terrible and the pace of play was too slow. There are no rangers helping to monitor the pace of the golfers. Golf etiquette from the groups in front was terrible as some chose to hit two to three times and continued to damage the greens when putting.

NYCC was great. Tee-Up earlier than the actually time we had, Greens were magnificent, fast but Fair. The fareways were cut nice and short.
Some of the Tee Boxes were a little beat up.
I will definitely will go back.

izzy

you can only cart on this course
Very friendly staff
Free range balls on Friday
Tough course with many different shot types.

The course is set in the hills and has several great scenic views. Greens were true and traps were maintained. Some browning on the fairways which is unusual this time of year. All in all a good experience.

Just played the course 4/22/15. Just average remember thinking this is not worth $120.00 paid $55.00 that's about par for this course. Ground under repair leaves blowing around not what you would expect for country club.

The course is very nice but I think they should open the driving range .

Ok for location. greens had to much sand. Driving range closed. Staff very friendly.

Wish the greens had less sand, but i would like to come back and play this course in june or july

Played for the 1st time. Considering the winter, being able to play is fantastic. Greens were still mostly dormant with significant sand on most. Sand traps were mostly hard pan and it was cart path only - which is understandable. The course is not terribly challenging and with the conditions felt it was expensive even with the Golf Now discount. Not sure I would give it a second try. Average at best and expensive.

We were extremely fortunate to have planned a day of golf when it was 70 degrees on November 24th. The spring-like weather deep into the fall was lucky. The course was not crowded because it was a Monday and we played as a twosome in under 4 hours. Course had some well-protected greens but overall not extremely difficult from the white tees.

Unique hilly course. Course is very dependent on your tee off. It has to be straight and far. If you are a scrambler, it won't help you score here. You can't walk this course so definitely a "no" for those who prefer walking. Great views and wildlife.

close to the city, fairways were in good shape, greens were ok, good pace of play,accommodating staf. Overall good value.
