Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

Alright… i thought it was a joke when people say its bug life coming to reality…. Well that was true… Glad I bought bug spray and yet i still got mosquito bites.. liked the course tho. Green is challenging but was fun. Bug spray is a must.

We played the split rock course. Extremely buggy! Better make sure you have bug spray in your bag.

What was annoying was that there were marshmallows all over the course. Hard to locate your ball with all the white marshmallows. The ranger should have been on that!

Overgrown underbrush, overhanging old growth trees that don't allow for sunlight to help dry out thus perinealy wet low lying course. The resultant skeeter assault is a distinct and unfortunate feature! Though in general course appeared to I be better landscaped than when last visited, toilets require better attention, soap, tp and cleanliness issues! Staff didn't inform me that while I thought I had reserved for Pelham, I was assigned Split Rock? Not a good start to the day! Further, wasn't informed of that little nugget 'till meeting with the starter on 1st tee of Pelham?

Pelham could be a magnificient golfcourse if only it was maintained. During the summer it is bug bite heaven and dryed out loke a dessert. I recently played at the course and received over 20 bug bites. As a NYC resident I pay a lot of city taxes so expect better playing conditions on a NYC public golf course.

Aside from some of the fairways being a little choppy, they are all pretty wide open. It is a good feeling knowing you have a lot of area to ‘miss’ and still scrape together a decent score. I played the entire front nine without losing a ball, and I have a tendency to slice at least one shot per round into no man’s land. Great first experience at this course and I plan to go back as much as possible.

As a golf experience, sorry to say not good. Was not told at the reception desk that we were assigned Split Rock, not Pelham? That's rude!

Before play toilet tissue was mostly unavailable in 3 of 4 stalls...not good! Course was much improved over past memory but still plagued by unplayable rough, roped off wet areas and overabundance of old growth overhanging trees!

Spli rock amenities ar 9th/10th hole turnaround and cart person availability is good. Three dollar parking fee is not! Where's that money going?

Will never play here again. The bugs were absolutely overbearing. Buddy I played with has 87 mosquito bites on his legs. We applied bug spray every hole.

Not worth it at all.

The bugs are a serious problem. Back 9 was better than the front.

The challenging big brother of the 2 courses, split rock demands precision, power and patience.

Today the on course staff (starter near the carts, beer jockey at the turn, and beer cart girl were all mia, mean, or both.

The course is dried out on several holes, and no one fixes ball marks. Still a pretty good course.

Now, Pelham course has lots of mosquitoes. Definitely you need bugs spray to protect your body.

It used to have so many mosquitoes at Sprit Rock course but Pelham course too.

I booked Pelham Bay through GolfNow only to find out that they assigned me Split Rock.

We were unable to play more than 6 hole because of the number of bugs on the course. We had plenty of bug spray and yet have come out bitten all over.

I am extremely annoyed at this experience.

Please spray the entire course to get rid of the pests!!!

Course in excellent shape. Greens fresh cut rolling very good. Fairway bad on #4 but rest of course was excellent. Bring your shotgun a few turkeys on course so you can get ready for Thanksgiving lol.

Overall the course was great and no wait for a morning tee time. Throughout the course we kept getting but by mosquitos. No course is worth waking up at 2,3,4am itch my legs as there is a fiery burn coursing across my body. So many mosquito bites! Literally over 4 dozen covering anything that was exposed including my face. They need to spray the course and surrounding Forrest for control!
