Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

Out of all the NYC courses (excluding Ferry Point) Pelham/Split Rock is probably in the best condition with the greens in great shape. Unfortunately, even with the 6:30am tee time, the round still took about 5 hours. Pelham's layout is fairly open and offers a good mix of holes. Split Rock is definitely much more challenging.

(Split Rock Course) The greens at this course were in great shape. Each hole was a very similar layout, which was a slight dog leg left which got boring pretty quickly. At one point in the round there were (4) foursomes on one hole which was a par 3. I had never seen anything like that before. The only way I would play here again would be very early in the morning or twilight for 9 holes. Overall, not worth a 5 1/2 hour round in my opinion.

I played this course yesterday, 6/11, on a 90+ degree day. The course had water coolers/jugs throughout the course, however these were empty the entire round. The course staff made no effort to make up for this, provide water or other beverages, or even seem to care.

This round took 5+ hours, and the course ranger didn't seem to be bothered by that. We notified the ranger that the group in front of us had lost pace with the group in front of them, was playing 3/4/5+ balls per player on a hole with groups on the tee behind them, and was unwilling to ask them to skip a hole.

4 hours to play the front 9. Overbooked and unorganized.

Had to say, granted it was an early tee time, pace got a lot better. greens were surprisingly in better condition than how i remember it. Tee box still need work but better condition than before. Relatively early in the season so hopefully they can keep it up. Pace of play less than 4 hrs in split rock which is unusual.

a very fun, interesting, and challenging track. the best of NYC's public courses in my opinion. best to get out early or this can flow slow. some really tough holes and a fair fun course to play

Not bad conditions for this time of year, I've seen this place in far worst conditions. Staff is always nice, and for a Sunday it seemed pretty empty. Great convenience due to its location and afternoon weekday specials are tough to pass up.

HOOPLES IN FRONT AND HOOPLES TO THE REAR. THE COURSE COULD BE GOOD...BUT THE PLAYERS AND THE LACK OF COURSE CARE MAKE IT A WASTE.

Notwithstanding that there was stil snow around and conditions were muddy, this is a course that begs for some major maintenance work or even a major overhaul. NYC and the managers of the course do themselves and the golfing public no favors by letting golfers make the conditions even worse by allowing play before the course is ready. At least they have the sense to keep Split Rock closed until conditions improve. For the same or less money, one can play far superior designed and maintained Westchester County courses that are only a few minutes away. .

I have played Pelham/Split Rock as one of my local courses for years and never had any complaint. The staff is friendly and courteous.

Course conditions are usually good to excellent depending on the time of the season.

This was a winter golf round (42*F and a little windy & sunny) as this is one of the few courses open, weather permitting (meaning when not snow covered) in the Winter (Jan Feb)

Greens were very puttable for January and the fairways had enough turf to keep playing off of grass if you move your ball when needed - after all those are Winter Rules, During regular golf season these courses are in plenty good shape.

Nice layout. Wide fairways. Some great greens and good bunkering for a muni. Nic layout.
