Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

The course was great but was definitely over booked which was expected considering it was fathers day . But the Starter at the beginning did not help at all mixing up people tee times and creating random groups of people not based on there tee times .

Never playing here again. The front 9 alone took 3 hours. Nobody policing pace of play - absolutely pathetic.

Ground was hard as a rock could barely get tees into the ground. There was a group of 5 golfers together in front of us walking we had to wait at every hole. We saw a cart with beverages once early on and then never again, no concession stands open

The course was in poor condition, the tee boxes were hard as a rock. You could barely get a tee in the ground. The round was slow primarily because of a group of five kids in front of us, no employees anywhere to be found to stop them.

Left on hole 13/14 after 4 hours. 1 swing every 10 minutes makes for highly unenjoyable golf. The ranger was driving around but doing absolutely nothing about it. Course was in nice shape, but I don't think I'll ever be back. Course wasn't that packed, just brutally slow bad golfers doing what brutally slow bad golfers do.

Played the Split Rock portion of the course. 6 tee boxes were moved up drastically as they are build new ones. Pace was super slow and the twosome behind us hit into us 3 times. Could be great once they finish construction.

Half the course was under construction.. tee boxes were moved up to the rough right before the start of the fairway and on top of that there was active construction going on the back while your trying to tee off and it was just ridiculous. I would not recommend this to anyone any time soon.

Nowadays I think there are two types of people who play here - ones who have too much money and the others who have no other options. I played here because I belong to the second group, with all nearby courses booked solid in the morning. And boy do I feel cheated. I’ve been here 4-5 times before and the green fees keeps going up, and the quality is going in the other direction. I paid $85, including a cart, for a sub-standard course with most tee boxes dug up for repairs. It had rained the day before so there were puddles all over the fairways, and some bunkers looking like mini ponds. In spite of a 636 tee time, we teed off 15 min late so can’t imagine what the later tee times looked like. And did I mention they also charge $3 for parking? A regular beer is $8, and the list goes on. I know golf isn’t a cheap game but this course has perfected the art of price gouging because they know the market and understand that people will pay whatever to be able to play at a time they want.

The only one good thing I’ve to say is that the dreaded mosquitoes are gone. Now not sure whether they did something about it or was just the cool spring weather. And the starter (sorry didn’t catch his name) was nice and seems to love doing his job.

All in all, two thumbs down. Unless absolutely forced because I have no other options, I’ll stay away from this course.

I was stock on Split Rock which is a course disliked by many in my group.

I booked & expected to play Pelham, but was pushed onto Split Rock, which is disliked by everyone in my 2 groups. I NEVER want to play Split Rock again!!!
