This was a wide open field with very nice greens

This was the second time I played was pelham and had a very nice time with my buddy. The weather was also nice but the field was great with vary wide green which help me since I didn't loose many balls. My only complain was the golf cart# 32 which died out on our 10th hole but after calling the front desk they had another cart out to us about 20 minutes later. Over all had a good time and can't wait to go back again.

Good NYC course for a great value

Pelham Bay is a solid city course that won't blow you away but will provide an enjoyable round for a great value. It's wide open so you can spray your drives yet recover for par or bogey fairly easily.

Typical East Coast golf course

Very flat,narrow,short.May not be a challenging course for a single-handy capper,but very enjoyable for an average golfer.Those golfers who are looking for more challenges should try Split Rock next to each other.

Great Start to Labor Day Weekend

Nice open course to play.. the pace was perfect for front nine.. There was some backup in the back nine but nothing that was extremely unbearable. Great time for the value.

Beautiful Golf Course

I like Split Rock better than Pelham, scenery is a lot nicer as is the golf course. My low rating of rate of play had nothing to do with course, but I had a group in front of me that did not care of pace they were playing and the Ranger didn't do much to help. The food rating is due to at the turn, you can only get a burger or hotdog and drink, which is really ok with me.
Other than the group in front of me, I had yet another wonderful time at Split Rock

Value for money not too tough

First time I have played here, and for $40 definitely money well spent.
Even though it was a Sunday, the course was pretty quiet and we walked straight on and teed off slightly ahead of our booked time (1.08)
Course condition on the whole was very good, the greens had been hollow tined, but were still running smooth for the most part (only 2 of the greens were patchy and unpredictable).
The teeing areas could do with work on most holes, the tee markers did not always line up with the direction of aim, and maintenance of them was patchy at best.
The course itself isn't particularly difficult. Its fair, and if you play well, you'll score well. The rough can be heavy and the trees are well placed to punish if you go off target. I really enjoyed it.

Oh and watch out for the local wildlife. As we were holing out on #1, a coyote walked up to us on the green looking for food!!

First Time

Decent course, not a fan of the aerated greens. Not a lot of woods, which I loved. No driving range. I'd go again for the money and proximity to my home.

What a prize

I have been golfing for 55 years, mostly MUNYs. In the past decade these courses have taken major steps in quality. The greens are beautiful, even though they were aerated on Monday. The fairways were in good shape. As on most courses this time of year the rough is rough and hard. Traps could use some fluffing.Think back to pro BP Black open and the major changes in local golf. This may not be country club or resort but they are very good. You shouldn't rate a course after a bad round one to two stars wake up dude this is a fun course.

Always fun, except for mosquitos!

These facilities have 2 golf courses: Pelham and Split Rock. I've played both many times, but this time playing on Split Rock was extra special as I played with an old friend that I haven't seen for 3 years!
The course is not in the best shape, but it has some challenging holes as well as some easy ones. If played from the back, it will test your skills! The best part of this course is the updated pro shop and hall, where many social events take place!
*Pelham is easier, and in better condition*

Old Classic

Great old course. Always enjoyable. Long rounds, but worth the wait. The one thing that stood out most was the Civil War tree on hole 9 that's no longer there! What a shame. Sandy sure did a number on our city...
