Hudson Hills Golf Course

This course is not worth the money...period. My daughter and I left after 16 holes, and at that time it was already 4 hours and 30 minutes. And my daughter is a zero handicap so she wasn't the problem. The pace of play is terrible and the conditions of the course are definitely not worth $100.00 per person. I've been playing golf for over 30 years now, and it's safe to say that I know what courses are worth it and what courses are not.

First time at this track, the layout was excellent, very tight in places and a lot of blind shots but fun. Not a fan of # 17 can't see your approach shot and no idea where the green is unless you've played it before overall fun course I'll be back

Staff is awesome. Course is challenging for all levels. 7000 from blacks.

Played Hudson several times, all in different conditions at different times of the season. The course is always a bit rough earlier on in the season with very long, deep rough, wet fairways, longer tees, and slow greens. Most recent occasion was probably the best shape I've seen it yet. Tees were level and shorter, greens were slick and extremely challenging - I consider myself a good putter, and I struggled to convert pars. Still overall one of the best tracks in the area for the money.

This course is usually out-priced for non-Westchester residents, but THANKS GolfNow!! Played with a friend and we were matched with two singles as the first group out on a Friday morning. Played consistent and finally felt this course was moderately difficult, compared to prior plays that I would rate as "somewhat challenging". Errant drives make it almost impossible to get on in regulation, so accuracy off the tee is premium on this course. A few blind shots make it tough if you haven't played here before. Played in 4 hours and have never been close to that when playing here previously.

Course in very good shape as usual. Exceptions are --traps not all good sand, some tee boxed beat up a bit. This course is tough if you don't know it. Has great scenery. Most holes decent layout with a few annoying funky holes. No driving range. Very quick round as was not too busy. Worth a gofnow hot deal but not really worth the premium relative to Mohansic

Condition was great overall. You have to know the course in order manage your game. Much undulated fairways and greens. Greens were fast.

It was my second time playing here. First was about 5 yrs ago and didn't remember the course enough. Think I'll enjoy more next time

We went out mid-day on a Friday and were able to finish our round under 4 hrs as a 2-some (it helped that the forecast was calling for rain all day so I'm guessing enough people rescheduled or cancelled). Lots of great views along the course and some pretty memorable holes, like the 15th - a big uphill par 5. Aside from a few tight driving holes (#8), the rest of the course is forgiving off the tee. There's no range here at the course, a little odd for a course this nice, but not a big deal. The carts also have GPS installed.

The challenge keeps most golfers away and hate this course. It's very long and hilly and requires a very good knowledge of the layout and where to aim. You can get into trouble easily in the front nine if you are a hooker so be prepared to lose some balls.

This is my favorite course in Westchester but it could get pricey on the weekends if you are not a park pass holder.

In conclusion, you will absolutely love or loathe this course depending on what you think a golf course should be.

This is a classic old-school parkland course with kind of narrow fairways, undulated greens, and modest amount of traps. At par 71, it was challenging enough at just over 6,300 yards, but the tees were brought forward so only played like 6,100 yards. Course layout has some interesting holes, but also a few head-scratchers like, "what was the architect thinking?" Holes tend to be on top of each other so you're better off spraying your t-shots way right or left rather than a bit right or left. OB, hazards and obstacles were clearly marked and relatively well placed, but not many were really concerns or came into play in any significant way. There isn't much water that comes into play. Greens were a little inconsistent in terms of speed, but generally on the medium-side with some slick puts putting with the grain and some slower putts putting against the grain. Need to consider grain when reading, but generally true to the eye. Greens were on the hard side so hard to stop the ball unless a lot of spin is applied. Conditions would be best described as a bit worn and torn, particularly the fairway, although the greens were in decent shape. There was a beverage cart, and the lunch selection was good, prompt at the turn, and tasty enough. Prices were OK. Although a putting green was available there was only two warm-up slots where you could hit your own balls into the net and no range. The key to play on this course is your short game. Compared to some of the modern courses, this one is generally a pass, unless you need to play in that neighborhood AND you like the old-school parkland-type courses, in general.

I try and play a new course each week during the season. Yes, I have played some multiple times, but just the best ones. Well, this was my first trip and certainly will not be the last. Not an easy course and I had an experience playing partner who guided me around. Without a guide it would have been a very tough first trip. Pace was great for a Saturday and the course was in great shape. Greens were true and a bit slow. Fairways were well maintained. Front 9 is tight and much more unforgiving verse the back. Course suggestion would be to swap front to back. Will speed up play since there is no range and you step right up to a few demanding drives right out of the gate without getting any rhythm. Slows pace as people hit first shots of the day. Outside of that, course is wonderful and a great challenge. Not a beginner course!! You will hate the game of golf. But, better players, this is a place to test your shotmaking skills. Loved it!

I ruined my knee climbing up and down mounds. Not for older player. Still hurting a month later

This was my first time playing at Hudson Hills, and it was decent. The layout of the course is very nice, and there are a lot of nice views from the course.

The fairways are in very good shape, but some have areas where this is no grass. Just a heads up, the tee boxes are perhaps the worse conditioned tee boxes you will see at any golf course. The sand is a tad thin in the bunkers.

Overall, not a bad course. Very nice design.

Very nice course difficulty contributes to slow play

Too many hills that need to be negotiated without a cart...cart path only means walking down steep hills to the fairway and back up again,,,take a few clubs, walk,

and hope your partner can move the cart

Upon arriving you are met by a friendly attendant who gets your clubs setup in the cart ready to go while you check in. I have played here now about six times in the last 2 years and when they say the tee off time is, you go. It has been my experience, during the week, that you can play pretty fast here and not have to wait and loose tempo. Being 70 and not being able to hit as far as I would like, you have to pick your spots to hit to avoid some of the hazards. I have found the course to be in great shape and enjoy playing here whenever I get the chance. And the last four holes coming in for me are a good challenge.

Been playing here for years! The golf course is as good as it has ever been. Greens fast and true, fairways perfect and rough at playable level. Somebody is doing something right here.

Enjoyed a lovely round in beautiful but gusty weather. Wind was a factor adding to the difficulty, but the course is very bucolic...great escape from city offering lots of exceptional views and an interesting layout. Overall quite challenging -- front 9 is very tight, densely wooded, with quite a few blind shots (even solid golfers will lose golf balls here), while back 9 is more wide open and forgiving. But the course never feels unfairly difficult. This is definitely in the best of county-run public courses in the NY area, greatly exceeding expectations. Drawbacks: a couple of gimmicky holes, like #7 (long par 5 with massive hazard right in the tee shot landing zone for most golfers) and #17 (impossible to navigate on the first time out). In some instances, signage was lacking, making it difficult to know where to aim (though excellent touch screen on-cart GPS was helpful). Also, very little sand in bunkers which were generally in pretty poor condition, but it's early in the season and there's been quite a bit of rain, so one assumes that will improve. Greens were clean and firm, though I found several really hard to read. Rough was high but manageable. Pace was fine -- 4.5 hour round on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Also, very smooth 35-40 minute drive from the city. Will definitely return.
