Rating 72.5

The Architects Golf Club is a unique layout that honors legendary course designers including Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast, and Alistair Mackenzie. Each hole is named after a famous designer, beginning with Old Tom Morris. The opening par 5 pays homage to St. Andrews' designer through the use of the existing features as hazards such as the rock wall and the sloping hillside that the green is deftly carved into. One of the most memorable holes is the 13th, another par 5 that will give you a taste of what it's like to play Augusta. This Alistair Mackenzie-inspired hole offers many risks and rewards. Golfers will face fairways bunkers and a pond on the left and then a creek that runs diagonally in front of the triple-tiered green. Position is the key to maneuvering this tough hole.

Nice course

Loved the layout, very well taken care of. The only down side were the bunkers, they need a lot of work. I would recommend playing here, just stay out of the bunkers.

Very different

Played at 3pm for 59$ so let’s get that out front. Great conditions. Very friendly staff. Holes that you don’t typically see at other courses. That is to say they are memorable. Pretty views and good pace of play. Would play again here in a heartbeat especially for 59$!

super course

Architects is a big bold course that will make you use all your clubs. We played on a day after the big rains so it was cart path only. There was absolutely no roll in the fairways so it made the course play very long. The fairways are incredibly wide and the greens are large. There are not huge breaks on the greens and most putts break slightly. The views are majestic and lovely. The bunkering is excellent. The pub which recently new is good and there is a cart girl and a snack and drink place at the 9th green outside. This is one of the best public courses in the region and I'd love to come back when its firm and dry. We had a great day here and I highly recommend the course

A great weekday round

Played on a Monday. Course was in great shape, greens included. Pace was not bad, waited on a couple holes but overall our round took 4:20. Can't complain about that. The only frustrating issue for the day was the fact there was no cart girl. There was a guy that drove around a few times on the front asking if we wanted water or food at the turn but after the turn we didn't see him much. No food being cooked at the turn, though the guy said he would make our food fresh if we wanted. Just a minor inconvenience. Still seem to be renovating/moving the food area or pieces of the club house. Seems like it's in transition. Beyond that it was exactly what I had hoped.

Great layout and great condition

Played a very relaxing round today in 2 1/2 hours as a single. They had me go off on 10 and I never waited to tee off. Course was in spectacular condition and each hole is special. Love this course.

SLow Play AGAIN

Have been playing here for a number of years now. The pace of play is terrible. No Rangers to move players looking for long periods of times looking for their bad shots.

Green WAY too slow for this time of year. The bright star in playing here is Regina's friendly personality and the Cheeseburgers at the turn are always good.

Try to get out here once a month but candidly will not be coming back for quite sometime. Until the pace of the play gets better and the greens get consistent and quicker.

Wish there were public courses like this near Westchester, NY.

Overall rating - 4.5/5

Tees - 5/5

Fairways - 5/5

Greens 4/5

Bunkers (NA - 3 inches of rain the night before I played so they were washed out. I can't blame the course for this. The only bunker I went into was a pond, so I can't say what they would be like if not for the rain.).

I drove 2 hours to play here. It was my first time on this course, and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely gorgeous. They had 3" of rain the night before I played, so unfortunately the bunkers were washed out. Everything else at Architects was amazing. Very well manicured for a public course. New Jersey really does it right with their courses. Architects, Heron Glen, and Neshanic Valley are 3 of the nicest courses I've ever played in terms of course conditions, visual appeal, and playability. If you bring your A game to these places, you'll score well.

I was the second person out on the course so pace of play was great. Zipped through the course pretty quickly and would've been even faster if there was no rain and it wasn't cart path only. I wish I had walked the course since I feel like I did more walking with cart path only, than I would've had I just walked.

Since there was so much rain the night before, and the course was soaked, it made it a tough on a few holes. But again, not the courses fault. Still very playable. The rain killed any sort of roll on drives, but probably helped me on a few greens. The rain made a few of the long par 4's even longer (4, 14, 15, 16 all measuring between 420 and 455). Would love to come back down here to play when it's dried up a bit and the ball rolls more.

Highly recommend playing this place if you get the chance. I would've ranked the "Course Conditions a 5 if not for the rain.

@jdamkp, been there a bunch over the years. One of the only courses in the area that's worth spending the money on.

Check out Links at Unionvale. Little north of Westchester but a shorter drive than Architects.
