Been better

The course was wet due to rain the previous day, obviously that wasn't the management's fault. However three of the pins wouldn't even stand up in the holes due to mud in the holes. That could have been remedied quite easily with just the digging of new holes. Not a difficult fix but yet not done, disappointing!!

I've golfed there many times last year and it was better.

Great course if you live in NYC

Pelham Bay/Split Rock is a great course - especially if you live in NYC. You would never know you were in the Bronx once you are out on the course ... just feels like another round of golf in the country.

I was amazed at how well the course played seeing how it was mid October. Bravo to the crew over there.

I'll try and get in another round or two this fall.

Pleasant Surprise

I've been playing the Pelham and Split Rock Courses for more than 15 years. Now that I live six minutes away, it's quite convenient. It's a great place to get my golf fix. Because it's so popular, it gets a little run down as the season progresses. However, yesterday's round was a pleasant surprise as the course was in GREAT CONDITION and the pace of play at 630am was FANTASTIC. Yes, we were the first out and there were only two of us, but we were done in three hours and I tied the best round of my career. I'll be back before the season is over.

Twilight disaster

I play on this course from time to time and ended up giving up this course after 9th hole. Took just about three hours to finish nine, and on 6th hole - we called the clubhouse to ask for assistance from a ranger. None showed up and we were left to fend for ourselves to ask groups to move along. It was a 250pm tee off so I thought it would be 2 and quarter hrs for 9 hole at most but it was just plain bad. Tee boxes were uneven, though greens were in OK condition. Overall, what we thought to be a deal in afternoon became an overpayment of late season course condition of NYC public municipal course. I would suggest early morning tee off; otherwise just avoid this course. Understand NYC course would be packed but having no assistance I think is unacceptable.

Left after 9.

9 holes took 2 hours and 45 minutes and then there was a 30 minute wait to tee off on 10.

Pelham Split Rock Fairways and Greens

This track is a New York City municipal course.

Considering the fact that it is a city course, it's in quite nice shape. The fairways and the greens are well kept. However, no one repairs a ball mark or replaces a divot. Why not respect the game.

The rough is about 6 inches and can be difficult.

The rest of the areas need considerable work.

The cart paths are crumbled and very poor.

There are downed branches and trees in the deep rough and woods. It's not very appealing to the eye.

The course plays longer than it is. There's a good deal of into the wind play.

During the week, they offer a deal with lunch and two drinks. Can't beat the price

Pelham Bay or Split Rock??

When I booked this reservation under golf now, it doesn't tell you which course your playing on.

Above average

Wide open layout, fairways and greens in excellent shape. Rough really difficult, challenging.

A little slow play off the first, 5 1/4 hours.

Still will go back.

Great value for solid public course

Did not have high expectations for Split Rock at all coming into my first round at this facility. Must say I was more than pleasantly surprised. Proshop attendant, starter, and ranger were not the most helpful, but didn't really cause any issues. Course was in pretty good shape. Impressive bunkering for a public course. A few really fun holes, a few tougher ones, and a few boring ones. Overall, had a great day! Looking to get back out there sometime soon!
