Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

This review is for split rock. The course is easily the best public NYC course. It plays like an average country club course minus the greens, which have some problems. It is fun and at times challenging. It plays around 6700 yards and makes you work to score.

Course was in good shape moved well, there were two greens that needed attention other than that the course played well. Would recommend to play

As an out-of-town golfer I decided to play both courses last Saturday and Sunday. Walked 18 for both and enjoyed the round. Saturday's round on Pelham was perfect and Sunday's round on Split Rock played a little slow but was enjoyable. Both courses are in OK Shape. Greens and tee boxes need some work on both. The negative to playing here is you get nickle and dimed. Not only do you have to pay the Green's fee but you also have to pay $3 to park (no other option available) and $4 to make a tee time. I have NEVER heard of any course charge to MAKE a tee time. Maybe it's a NY thing??? Adding seven dollars to your day to me makes a difference. I would be more accepting if they just upcharged the green's fee and didn't tell me i was paying for parking and just to make a te time. Probably won't go back because of the extra charges...

The greens were in great shape for this time of the year.

Only reason I played this course because I was in the area and found a hot deal. I'm glad I didn't pay the regular rate. The course is average. Several greens need a ton of work. Not much of organization to start your round. Carts are just scattered all over (dirty as well). For the positives, fairways were in good condition, pace of play was fast, and there are some challenging holes. Course is forgiving as it is wide open. I would probably play this course again only on a hot deal.

Some of greens are in a very bad shape. They need more and better maintanace.

II have played Pelham several times and I do not recall the greens being in such very bad shape. They were really bad. Also, why does every round have to be between 51/2 to 6 hours. Where are the rangers???

The reason I put <3 was due to the fact that I played the back nine only. The staff at Pelh-Split Rock were great and the course was in great shape considering the recent heat wave.

Overpriced for quaility... Needs to work on the condition of the course. Many other courses out there in better shape and les $$$

Of all the good things to say about this course, I can't get past this fact: our round took more than 6 hours, and that was after a 30 minute delay at the first tee, so we finished about 7 hours after our tee time (and we are fast players). To be fair, it was a Sunday morning on perhaps the nicest day of June, but that pace is just unacceptable. It's a very nice course, often wide-open with a few challenging holes and good distance throughout. And it was in very good condition given the foot traffic, bunkers and greens well maintained and almost pristine fairways. I would love to play this course again, but I'll never try it on the weekend given the death march I experienced.

On a Tuesday afternoon the round took nearly 6 hours. Course was in good condition but there was absolutely no supervision of pace of play. On the first par 3 (#3 hole) there were 3 foursomes waiting when we arrived. There was a course marshal riding around but he didn't appear to do anything but burn up gas. Clearly there is a huge management problem at this facility. This is a shame because otherwise this is a very nice facility with a nice course layout.

They had a tournament at Split Rock, and they moved all other players to Pelham Bay. As a result, most people waited for over two hours. They should have not taken any reservation, and they should tell people about it, so they could go to other courses.

It was a total nightmare!

The staff at the course are excellent and always pleasant!! I'll be playing here for a while!!

Split rock course is better than Pelham bay. Green is maintained well, fairway is good as well, and not too crowed. Price is acceptable.

What a disaster! They had two outings going on, one at split rock and the other at Pelham. They for some reason still booked tee times for when the outing were being held. The computer system crashed before I was about to pay. They sent me over to the bar area to do the transaction. The guy registering us was calling out tee times in time order for everybody who still had to pay. My tee time was at 11:30 and I wasn't rang up until 12:30. I would not go back because I hear this type of unorganization is very common there.

always liked the layout at Split Rock minor waiting gotta keep it straight trees are lovely old forest and really big

Although the greens are not yet on the best of shape, the course played very well. Trees have been lost becuase of hurricane Sandy last year, and that makes this open course even a bit more forgiving. It was a good time.

its early season, but putting green was kinda horrible. if you could sink a 6 foot put your lucky

I cannot believe that Golfnow has no way to notify customers that greens had been recently aerated. This was the biggest waste of money I've experienced since using golf now. We had to play the front nine twice since the back was closed. The greens where in such poor condition that a and wedge was better than a putter. Some holes the hole was cut on the fringe. What a joke. I will never go back here. Golf now may have lost a customer.

The course needs maintenance badly, the tee boxes and greens were in bad condition.
