Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

There is a CRAZY! amount of bugs and it impacts your golf game a lot. When I arrived to the golf course I was completely swarmed by the mosquitoes and a ver nice woman who worked there was literally spraying clumps of bugs off of me with bug spray. If you do decide to play there BRING BUG SPRAY!!! They charge a crazy amount of money for bug spray on the course. If the bugs weren't such a big problem the course would be very nice. I liked the layout and the bunker placement was very challenging. However I am not coming back until the bug problem is fixed (if ever) I have 30 mosquito bites from 2 hours of golf. Awful SMH

Couldn’t believe how bad the mosquitoes were. They were everywhere. All over everything and made the day miserable. They should have some control over that, it’s not a swampy area. Anyway awful day to play because of that.

I have now played both Pelham and Split Rock this summer. Both courses are covered in mosquitos. It makes for a miserable round. Absolutely ruined a beautiful day.

Far and away the most mosquito-infested course I have ever played. Covered in Deep Woods repellent, we were still bitten through our clothing, each walking away with approx 25 bites each. Course play is fine, conditions are virtually unplayable. Groundsmen need to spray the whole place.

Course was is great shape except for the fact the there was a serious bug infestation problem. I got ~50 mosquito bites while using Deep Woods Off. 2 of the greens were so infested with wasps that we could not even complete play on those holes. It's a shame, because the grounds, staff and pace of play was all good. But right now, I feel that this infestation could be considered and public health issue.

Beware!!! The amount of mosquitos on this course is horrifying. Do not play here unless 20-50 mosquitos flying on, around and IN you won’t disturb your golf game.

Extremely slow pace of play - typically 6-7 hours. Course sends a 4some every 5 minutes.

Course is poorly maintained. Split rock course has extreme amounts of bugs.

Bar none, the worst bug experience I’ve ever had on a golf course. Millions of them were flying around. I must have 25 bites from the front 9. Course itself was fine but mosquitoes ruined the experience

This is a follow-up from an old review. Pelham Bay is my favorite NYC muni (not counting Ferry Point). The entire facility along with Split Rock is a gem. Both courses are good, and Pelham has a great mix of being playable and challenging. Fairways and corridors off the tee are mostly wide, but usually present a better side of the fairway for the approach. It has a great mix of hole types- long, short, left, right, up, down, blind, and all in front of you. The greens are splending. Mounds, slopes, tiers. Some nice bunkering around the greens and off the fairways. A pleasure to play.

Awesome course to play! I played split rock, it was challenging but very gettable. Left a few shots out there. Overall the course was very well maintained for a low budget club and greens were fantastic! I would highly recommend this club to anyone who wants to get out and have a good round of golf!

Course layout and condition of course good ..pace of play was slow even for a sunday .

Great city course! First timer. I played Split Rock and my only complaint are trees. I underatand they want it to be a challenge, but the trees off some of the tees (particularly #9) need to be cut back. I didn’t have any issues with them in this particular round, but it would allow for more options off the tees.

we teed off at 2:30 pm and after 2 holes it started to rain.

we asked for a rain check at the pro shop but they couldnt offer and they said i must get it from golfnow.com.

I would appreciate if you could let us have the credit please.

thank you

The next time these courses are going to run 3 Outings then how about a Heads-Up ??

My tee time was for 3:04pm and I hit my first tee shot an hour later at 4pm. Ok I'll go with the flow I said except that after 1 hole I got backed up but the Starter told me I could try the other course..Well I got there and was told you can't play here we have an another outing !!! ...

I saw a lot of signs in Korean and thought maybe Trump & Kim are golfing to hammer out a Nuclear deal.. A Korean guy with 3 ladies invited me to join them so this looked promising though the ladies didn't speak English though they did smile a lot and chattered among themselves having fun. Another hour and 3 holes later I was eating spicy Korean food by invitation at a table they had set up.

Now it's 5pm and I'm finally teeing off on the 4th hole...So after 3+ hours I finally finish my Front Nine..I go over to the other course to play my back Nine, join up with the Starter (who was now off duty) as all 3 Outings were mostly done and the 2 of us finish with a few brilliant shots each before dark.. ... I'm happy got in my 18 Holes with laughs and spicy food ... And so it turned out to be All Good !!!

Good course but some holes were severely beat up in the fairways.
