Great Course

Nice clean fairways and greens this time of year, very accommodating and helpful staff, loved the layout. Doesn’t feel cramped like a lot of NYC area courses. 1hr 15min drive from Brooklyn. My new favorite in the area.

A fair old school challenge

This is a very solid choice to play. The fairways are reasonably wide and mostly tree lined, and if you do hit it into the woods your penalty is fair. Pitch it out and move on. The greens are huge, with plenty of undulations. So aiming for the center of the green doesn’t necessarily mean you have an automatic two putt. If your putting is on, you can score at this course. Bunkers are almost all pancake flat with deep rough walls. It’s a great value if you use a Golf Now discount, but the full fare is a bit steep to make it a regular place for me. It’s worth an hour drive to get to though, and the conditions of the course were very acceptable. Overall it deserves a place in the seasonal tour.

All around solid

Our foursome played this course for the first time. It was a beautiful course all around. The only negative was the yardage difference between white and blue Tees. We usually play from tees that are 6200-6300. The white tees here are at 6000 and the blue tees are at 6500. That’s a pretty big gap, especially since playing from the blues feels much longer due to the fact that there are only 2 par 5’s in 18 which make most of the par 4’s and 3’s very long. ie. 220 par 3’s and 450 par 4’s. Just be aware of this when choosing your tee. Other than that, everything was great. The food and drink choices were fantastic. Get a hot dog as it was one of the best I’ve had on a course. The course is forgiving and not overly narrow. The greens are big but you will be punished if you’re on the wrong side of the hole as they have a lot of undulations. All in all, I highly recommend this course.

Very Good!

Really nice golf course. Semi private, but they allow the public to play at certain times. Very good conditions. Some bunker shots are very very tough.

I would definitely play again.
