Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course

Played on a Friday afternoon and took 5.5 hours. Pulled up to the second tee box to find 5 groups on the hole and knew it was going to be a long round. 8 min tee times simply not enough for the number of recreational golfers the course sees.

Course itself is a fun and challenging layout and in good shape, especially for a New York muni. Price is relatively inexpensive and a good value. No driving range but would play again, especially during a less popular time

There were so many groups of people playing league.

My tee time was 1:57pm. Definitely I believed I could finish all 18 holes. I couldn’t finish two holes even I played until dark night. I got to wait every single hole about 5 to 10 minutes.

The golf course has great shape and well maintained.

I’m not coming back this course if time is late afternoon.

I used to come this course many times and used to have a good memory, but not anymore for me.

the course was wet, but it was in fair condition for the weather we are having.

the start was crowded but once we started the me moved without any issues.

This course has a reputation for slow rounds and with the pin placements on Saturday, I can now safely say it’s not only a golfer problem. There were no fewer than 4 holes where the pins we placed on edges of slopes/close to fringes, such that I can only imagine the person in charge was either doing it for the first time or was purposefully trying to sabotage pace of play at the course. It was almost like playing winter rules where once you get your ball on the green, you take 2 putts on the scorecard and move to the next hole. Unfortunately, I will probably look elsewhere next time if I can.

Never has a course punched their tees and greens more than this course. Never a mention of it either..
