Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

This is a mosquito fest. I’ve been here a few times in the past and never thought the course was great by any means but it was playable. Summer time makes mosquito situation quite bad to the point where we had to drop out in the middle and I couldnt take a shot without getting bitten all over by a swarm of mosquitoes. I was bleeding in the end.

What makes it worse is the pace of play here. They overstuff everyone and many beginner players come here so every time you get to the next tee box there is always 3-4 groups just waiting. It was an unbearable experience. Safe yourself the trip.

Mosquitos at the course are out of control-ruins your entire round, stay away from this place.

This course is in absolutely AWFUL condition.

Me and my group got annihilated by mosquitos and left with blood stains on our legs from trying to kill so many.

Bunkers legitimately have grass growing in them.

Fairways are burnt and weedy

To be honest it’s problematic neglect due to covid but this is shamefully bad

Do not play split rock, from the mosquitoes to the rough around the green I wouldn't play there for free.

Bring multiple cans of bug spray. Mosquitos are horrendous here. i reapplied every 3/4 holes and managed to get only two bites. my partner, who only applied it at the first tee... not so lucky. course is decent to poor shape. A couple of the bunkers have more weeds than sand. round took 5.5 hours. Of the NYC muni's... not my first choice

Please is destroyed in mosquitoes, nearly turned around after the 2nd hole, never going back there

The most painful round that I have ever played! To begin with arriving at the course, it makes you wonder if the course is open for it is in disrepair. It seems that they no longer even bother to cut the grass. Then if you are playing Split Rock, bring a good brand of insect repellent. The mosquitoes are out of control!. The. Green Ian’s the course it self are in a very good condition, the mosquito made the game very miserable.

This course was let go horrible shape. Everything was overgrown the bunkers have no sand and was full of weeds overall was in very very very bad shape I would not recommend this to anybody even if it was for $10

Love the lay out, need manicuring . Ruff is a little high;

Bring your bug spray, your patience, and your wallet... course wasnt cheap... got killed by mosquitoes, and took 5 hours... meh

Played split, which has a fantastic layout. The greens were in good shape for a public course... no major complaints there.

The bunkers are atrocious. They must’ve decided to take the year off from maintenance because they are unkept, weeds growing rampant, really is a shame. Fairways aren’t in great shape but playable. Tee boxes about the same. The mosquitoes weren’t as bad as some have mentioned, but we went heavy on bug spray. Worst holes were 6-9. Hopefully they’ll be able to give the course some much needed TLC prior to next season.

A friend and I decided to give this course a try and it was an absolute horror show. No maintenance all. All of the fescue was terribly overgrown. Mosquitoes everywhere. By the time we reached the four holes there was blood all over my legs and socks from all do the bites. We decided to cut our losses and turnaround and get off the course to avoid anymore bites! Horrible experience. Waste of time. Would never play there again especially not for $80 per player.

Cost is a great layout worst bunkers I’ve ever played course conditions I would say from a scale 1 to 10 probably four very unfortunate it’s an awesome layout

The course has been “let go”. Beware of mosquitos

I paid $240 for 4 people. It was the worst money I spent. The course was really bad. There were weeds growing everywhere!! The sand traps even had weeds!!! The whole place looked run down. I’m very upset I spent that much money.

Terrible.. Mosquitos everywhere even the starter asked us if we were crazy because we didn’t have bug spray. Didn’t think that was needed for a golf course in the Bronx. Can’t say it enough literally mosquitos everywhere once you hit the 1st tee box. Go elsewhere.

Infested with mosquitoes. You will think you have poison ivy for the next 3 days.
