All BS

Extremely wet course on a sunny COLD DAY. Got there 40min before tee time. Nobody there and told to wait until my tee time. So those who booked golfnow hot deals. Don’t expect they let you go out 5 minutes early even though there is not a soul out there. When time to play. At least 10 to 12 fairway is soaking wet n not playable. Wtf!

Play with a friend

There are a bunch of beautiful holes on this course. Unfortunately the first few times you play it you can’t enjoy them. This course needs proper management. Don’t play it without someone who knows where to aim. Knowing the course is worth at least 8 stokes. If you have someone who knows the Course you’ll have a great time .

Conditions Have deteriorated

I have played Hudson Hills a lot over the years and I was surprised how, in the past few months, it seems the grounds crew has stopped doing anything but mow the lawn. Huge brown and bare spots, obviously no fertilizer use, etc. I am afraid they are letting it go so they can eventually sell the property to developers. The problem is HH charges more than any course in the Westchester county system for an average course so they get much less play and revenue is down. Charge the same as the other courses and watch the crowds come back!

I re-reviewed this course recently and I was pleasantly surprised how conditions have improved. It's still early this year to judge any course fairly but I was impressed at the improved grass conditions all last year.

Water Logged

One of the worst draining issues ever on a course. They don’t tell you that the sand traps have over 1ft of water in them. The fairways were water logged and in terrible condition. Maybe a discount or a notice. Stay away!!

Always a good experience

Course was in very good shape. Greens were true and on the fast side. Only place where some improvement needed (some re seeding) is on several tee areas. Troon does a great job.

Awful shape, rude staff, 5+ hour round

Fairways look like Baghdad, staff incredibly rude, starter has no respect for actual tee time so expect to be 30 minutes behind schedule before you even tee off. Absolutely criminal they charge $115 a round. Much better value and experience at other nearby courses. Also, expect every single shot to be blind, less than 10 times did I actually see my ball land. Greens were in great shape at least and Bar / cart service was on point.

We do apologize for the conditions. After the recent weather, we're hard at work to repair them. As for the pace of play, we understand how frustrating that can be. Saturdays are certainly our busiest days and play can sometimes reflect that. We apologize and we hope you'll return in the future for a far better experience.

A tough course first time around

Interesting layout but lots of blind shots the only real problem was on the 17th hole which was very up hill and didn’t know where the green was . They needed to let first time players know about that hole and that there is a sign on a tree to aim at but who knew that. What they need is an extra long pin poll.

The only other problem was the fairways where in poor condition due to lots of rain . I would go back really nice course.

Friendly Staff, challenging course

Can't say enough about the staff. Friendly, helpful, and attentive. Pace of play was very good. Course conditions need some help, possibly caused by the amount of rain in recent weeks.

Might as well walk

Cart path only for just about 90% of this course, so plan on walking uphill for every shot after the tee box. Everything’s roped off like the course is in pristine condition. Most fairways look like they had road spikes thrown down and were dragged for 100 yards. It’s a difficult course. Almost entirely hills, sand traps are mostly dirt. The rough will make you never want to play golf again. I can’t imagine who plays here for 100 a clip. The hot deal at 35 made me wanna toss my clubs out onto the taconic.

We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your round with us. The consistent rain has presented a challenge, conditions-wise, but this is a naturally challenging course. We do have 5 other Westchester County courses that you may prefer and we hope you'll give them a visit.

Hudson Hills

Challenging course that helps to play with someone that has played before. A couple of tough long uphill par 4's will challenge all levels. Par 5 10th has big Risk Reward layout. Greens are true and roll nicely. Rough can be challenging.

Slooooow, even for a Sunday

Tee boxes very beat up (bare patches, mold patches etc), group of 5 allowed to play together (novice golfers with no concept of ready golf) midday on a Sunday and no ranger to speed up their play/hold them accountable for ready to play golf

Hudson Hills is aptly named! Every hole has a unique personality. Most holes are narrow and challenging for an intermediate golfer. The carts have excellent GPS and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Recovered from what Mother Nature threw its way

Course was in great condition after all the rain we had earlier in the week. Had to play cart path only in the early morning but as soon as the course started drying out, the carts were programmed to allow you to drive 90 degrees. Matched up with 3 guys that were doing double rounds (heading to Centennial after Hudson Hills) and wished I could join them! The pace of play was excellent for a public course and I was able to get to work in Southern Westchester before noon! Second time playing this course this year and would definitely return.

Bang for your buck

The back nine is definitely more of a course- shotmaking is necessary on multi-contoured (but fair) greens (even if I couldn’t putt that day). The front nine is nice, though at times it feels as if they took the land they had and did the best they could with it. A 94 yard par 3 on the 9th hole epitomizes this.

This was not the first time I played Hudson hills, but it is the first in a couple of seasons. The course has changed a bit for the better. An enjoyable round on a Thursday afternoon with no waiting on any shots. And for less than 55 dollars (cart included- with GPS), it’s a good value. I will come back.
