Hudson Hills Golf Course

Great views, pleasant staff, nice ambiance. But this is overshadowed by players who take 15 min to putt and tee off. Can’t say I would be back. No rangers. Free for all slow play. Ruined my play.and enjoyment of what could have been a wonderful afternoon. Sometimes difficult walking in restricted areas. And I’m a pretty fit golfer.

This is a challenging, but well maintained course where you can truly enjoy playing golf ! The team is very helpful and friendly. During regular season it is a bit an expensive public course, so enjoy the off-peak and post season pricing now !

The course is actually a lot of fun.

The roughs are but like they’re playing the us open everyday.

Also the course very often is CPO a lot.

It’s extremely hilly so walking is just flat out dumb.

The roughs and fairways will want you to write a review just like this.

Hudson Hills is known for mega lost ball death. , I mean like , a lot of people Lose dozens while average is probably 2-6 on a low handicap. I’m fairness I have played there 2 times while I lost no balls and shot upper 70’s and a low 80

Otherwise kiss em goodbye. ! They’re gone forever.

Hudson Hills is a tough narrow and funky kind of course. The front 9 are narrow tee shots with some blind tee shots. The 2nd hole tee shot is just ridiculous hitting blind along the side of a hill to the right and OB on the left to a fairway you cannot see that is VERY SMALL.

Number 8 is also a narrow tee shot to a slight dog leg green with little room for error.

The back 9 opens up a bit. Number 10, par 5, has a bailout fairway leaving an elevated 2nd shot to another fairway with a hazard ahead making a layup the prudent play. But if you can hit a big tee shot with the driver and a little fade, you can bypass the bailout area and have a chance to get on the green in 2.

Many holes have no forgiveness around the greens so accuracy with irons is a must as with tee shots.

The bar/restaurant is nice though.

There is NO DRIVING RANGE. This place really needs one. Only a net to hit into and a very sloped practice green.

Has a private country club feel in many aspects. They don’t call it Hudson HILLS for nothin’. Choose a forward tee box for the fairest and most enjoyable experience.

Tha hills and lush fairways make for challenging distances on several par 4s and par 5s. The par threes can be played from further back as they tend to be short.

Don’t be turned off by the challenge. Probably need to play it a second time to get more comfortable with this creative gem.

I’ve played here a few times and decided to bring my wife for the first time. We had a twosome at 135pm with open times behind us and only a 3 ahead of us. I thought this was perfect. It was $100pp which is to be expected on a Sunday in NY but I’ve played here before and thought it was worth it. Staff was great as always, never any issue whatsoever. But. My god today was the slowest round ever. I was swinging once every 8 minutes. I felt like I was playing a queens municipal course.

For the first time since I started playing golf we left after 14 holes. At this point we were already 4hrs into the round and there were 3 groups waiting on the 15 tee. No rangers, no one at the clubhouse to even ask why we left early as we drove through a group on the 18th tee.

So we spent $210 for 14 holes of aggravating irregular golf. HH if you are going to charge $100+ per round pace should not be this bad. I wasted my money today

Now, I know this may not justify a review (I never place reviews, I usually just ignored the email) but today I felt ripped off.

Where were the RED tees?

Very hilly to even walk to the gold tees.

Not recommended for folks who don't like uphill or down hill lies.

Balls flying from other holes during the whole round!

Not too interested in returning.

I returned to play Hudson hills as president of the Stuyvesant Golf Club of NYC. The course was in great shape and played as advertised , accuracy and putting are key to a good scoring round.

I thought the course was in super condition considering the rain that fell prior to my round and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending it to my friends and colleagues

Excellent condition s,

Carts, t boxes, fairways, and greens.

A selection of Guiness stout would be preferred.
