Philmont Country Club

Wet and rainy when I played, but course was in solid shape. Greens ran true and fairway/rough was consistent. Many ups/downs with elevation changes and an interesting layout. Not perfect, but totally fair.

Tons of construction going on throughout the property (as of 08/24/23) so the road in was a little shaky, but obviously temporary. Would recommend a trip, especially if you can play for less than $50 like I did. Great deal.

Course in great condition nice layout a lot of up and down greens very good condition the only thing wrong were the bunkers very little sand hard to get out and the rough was heavy stay out of the Hazzards

It's been a few years since I ventured to Philmont and enjoyed it this past holiday weekend. It's back. The greens rolled true, the fairways were plush and they must have redone all the tees as they were better than I can remember. The South course is gone, but the North was always the real treat of coming to Philmont. The back nine just doesn't have a bad hole.

First time playing and what a gem of a course. I played with a member and said the new management team is excellent, and really cares. The playing conditions were perfect.

Got to play with a great member via GolfNow. He was a bit upset sharing his course, but after a few minutes of sharing we were like best buddies. I really enjoyed the company (John) and the course was amazing!

Not gonna bother elaborating but trust me when I tell you this staff is racist and this was the worst experience I’ve ever had on a course bar none

The layout is fantastic. The course conditions and staff are entirely a different matter. The fairways and greens have crab grass growing in them. The staff are not helpful and usually nowhere to be found.

This was my first time playing PCC. I'm a 1/2 time per week player and a 15 handicap. Overall it's a really nice track with some great holes both visually and in play. It seems like they have had some issues with their greens which they admittedly stated and shared they were working to repair as soon as possible. I could see how great the course would be with healthy greens. Overall it's a nice track and I would enjoy playing it again

The greens were extremely slow and needed work. however, Philmont always present a tough challenge and warrants the 133 slope. The roughs were up and all fairways roll to the rough so expect a tough round..esp in the wind.
Neat concept for getting the balls out of the cup.

I booked this tee time to take my father to play a private course for the first time in his life. I told him how the greens would be in great condition and far better than any public course that he normally plays. We normally wouldn’t spend 75 dollars and drive an hour to play golf but I figured because of the conditions it would be worth it. I was completely wrong. The greens were worse than any public course that I have played in a long time. They clearly hadn’t been cut in days, and some were missing patches and were so bumpy that we had to move our balls to the other side of the green to be able to putt. I have no idea why anyone would pay for a membership with the conditions like that. Highly, highly disappointed in philmont .

The North course used to be one of the best courses in the area with lightning fast greens and a thoughtful layout which emphasized the importance of short play around those greens. Unfortunately apparently they had an issue with a fungal infection on their greens a few months ago.and now these are some of the worst greens I've ever played on. They rolled at about an 8 on the day I played ( used to roll at 12 or 13) and there wasn't a smooth green on the course They must be losing members like crazy. Philmont used to be member owned but was recently sold to Concert Golf, I can only assume that corporate incompetence was the cause of the death of this once proud course, an absolute shame. Of course there was no mention of the awful course conditions by the staff. $80 down the drain.

Was really excited to play here as it is private and not far from me. Awesome staff, very friendly and helpful. Property and layout were incredible; lots of very tall old trees and no two holes felt the same. With that being said, the greens were in absolutely terrible condition. Squares of sod everywhere, some with chunks missing. The actual grass they used on the green felt more like a really nice fairway. Massively disappointed as the $80 price tag had my expectations sky high. If you have money and don't really care, would recommend playing it once just for the overall experience. If you have limited golf funds like myself, paying $80 or $114 for a round here will probably just drive you crazy.

Private, but if you get an invite or opportunity with an outing, even if it's a scramble, take it. It is old school golf with false fronts and sloping undulating greens over natural hilly terrain. Some holes you need to see to understand where you can hit to. Not everything is as it appears standing on the tee. Greens are great and roll smooth but not always easy to read subtle breaks. You'll remember the ninth hole.

Played the course as a guest in a tournament. The course conditions were great the greens ran true and the tee box and fairways were good. The layout is up and down hills with a few blind shots and a few huge elevation changes. Lots of old mature trees to get in your way if you are not hitting it straight. 18 and 9 are big sweeping doglegs right. Not a fan of either holes. The staff was hit or miss. The kid at bag check and running people back and forth to there cars was great the people in the pub area either didn't want to be there or didn't want us there don't know which.

This old course maintains teeth to take a bite out of you. There are a number of blind tee shots which always creates tension. It's a long 6300 yards from white tees with only two par fives. Hilly terrain and severe sloped fairways are a theme and twice had shots hit green only to watch them roll off the front. Putting was smooth as once you got the pace all you had to do was put it on the right line. The breaks were often more than they appeared. If you get an invite you need to accept.
