Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

This would be such a great course if it went private. Unfortunately, the city packs them in and you can expect to play a 5 1/2 hour round in fair condition. I will say that the greens were in very good shape and the fairways were good as well. Everywhere else including the sand “dirt” traps were a mess.

Oh… bring bug spray. You’ll get eaten alive on Split Rock.

Golf course was great, some of the tee boxes need some attention but overall it’s nice. Holes 1-9 are brutal with mosquitoes. Don’t go there during the july and august

First time going and for the price the course wasn’t up to par. Tee boxes looked unmaintained. Mosquitos made it really difficult to play without being bitten all over. One of the staff members was quite rude and told my friend he was bad. Wasn’t worth the money, and won’t go back

Wide fairways for the most part and not crowded for 7am tee time. There was a decent amount of litter throughout which I tried picking up when I could

one tee box of dirt, but rest of course was ok.

starters are lazy do nothing. and no rangers. so slooooow

When pace of play is reasonable. For a good golfer maybe not enough variety though. Way too many mosqiutoes though.

Impossible to enjoy a round here due to mosquitos. At all times, you have 10-15 mosquitos on you and that’s not an exaggeration. If you’re even close to the tree line, you have 5 seconds to swing a club or you will be dive bombed by mosquitos. The course itself is actually great with great pace of play for NYC, but brutal due to mosquitos.

Easily 200 mosquito bites on my legs, no exaggeration.

Play here in early spring or late fall when there are no mosquitos, unplayable in the summer due to mosquitos.

Not we’ll maintained, no warning of unplayable holes due to water pools, extremely expensive, and extremely buggy.

When you reserve on GolfNow they always put you on split rock instead of Pelham. Pelham is the better course and has no misquitos. Afternoons on split rock are miserable holes 7-9 are almost unplayable because of the the bugs and the bar/grill and snack shop always close early. That said course is in pretty good shape for a public course but the tee boxes need some work. Bugs are just too much for me

This place sucks if you have to play Split Rock. And they dont show you which course you are booking when you book. Very misleading and Split rock is almost unplayable with all the bugs.

Understanding this is a Municipal Course,

The fairways where is ok.

Greens where is good conditions. I hope that the Management can get a Captial Improvments plan together, these two courses would be hidden gems

The course itself is solid. $70+ for a tee time here is pretty high. The pace of play is unbearable. We showed up for the 9:45 tee time and the 8:51 was still on the box….we went off the back only to get jammed up on the turn with all of the 1:30 tee times. 6 hour round. Course conditions were solid. Great glizzies at the turn.

Enjoy round at Split Rock yesterday got 18 in. Tees, Greens, fairways in good shape. Rough is a bit high. Excellent layout. 8th hole by nature preserve has bugs to watch out for. Underrated place to play.
