Lakes/Fairways at Centennial Golf Club

Unfortunately have to agree with a majority of the reviews here. Land and layout are spectacular and it's a challenging track, but greens and tee boxes are absolutely abysmal for a course charging $135, and fairways aren't great either. All three areas need some serious love, maybe even a reset this off-season, before I'd consider playing again at that price point. .

Course layout is good. Pretty course. Some good holes.

Tee boxes are pretty beat up. Fairways are in good shape. No one repairs ball marks on greens

Overall had a good time and enjoyed course. A little more work on course would improve experience.

This course never disappoints. Although, it’s usually out of my price range for a round I was able to score a deal on TeeOff which made this a complete steal. The only complain would be some of the tee boxes were either beat up or not mowed down enough. But everything else was a 9 or 10. I scored a couple more “deals” and can’t wait to go back.

2 fantastic 9's. Scenic holes of varying difficulty. A good test from the blue tees. Greens are BIG and undulating. Very fun golf course.

I have played here many times but they are still now prepared for play. Gave us 1/2 a bucket of range balls for some reason. Wanted to charge us another $8 for more balls even though round cost us $135. Check in staff barely attentive and again hoarding range balls for warm up. Bunkers are a mess. Sand needed in most bunkers. Greens have seen better days. Greens had brown spot, tons of ball marks, and all seem to be different speeds since maintenance Crew is thin. Staff on course pretty rude also.

Generally one of the best in NY but not worth the fee in this condition.. hoping post Covid they get back to business.

Beautiful course. Nice conditions but prepare for very hilly terrain( albeit gorgeous course!).

A little slow play but very nice & professional staff. Nice patio & restaurant too!

Lakes 9 was beautiful and challenging while fairways was uninspiring and average.

most disappointed i've ever been in a course. total rip off for $140,. Great layout but course and greens are in terrible condition. Needs work

No complaints with layout and the piece of land is gorgeous. Lakes/meadows seems to be what they are offering these days which is a nice mix. Only real issues are tee boxes and fairways. Especially first to second cut to rough. You can hit great shots and show up to the ball with a very bad lie. Greens are great and roll nicely except for people not fixing their marks which has nothing do with management. Not sure troon wants to throw too much cash to this property, but if they did it could be special.

This course is a premier golf course. It is challenging. For an average golfer like myself it is worth playing centennial at least twice each season.

I played the Lakes Course. The cart paths on 3 front nine holes are extremely dangerous and unfit for motorized travel. The course apparently think that putting up warning signs somehow insulates them from liability-t doesn't. There are some things so dangerous that no amount of warnings will transform a person's negligence into acceptable behavior with a few signs The public are not experts who have evaluated forensically the paths, their angle etc. The public relies upon you to look out for the safety of paying guests. Not only are the steep angles an unacceptable hazard , but these paths are slippery even when bone dry. Also, the paths are banked the wrong way, The sections I refer to need to be regraded and resurfaced -they are unsafe at any speed. The Lakes course is very difficult-at least the front nine in fact it may be unfairly difficult. On many holes you are surrounded by trouble and you need to be a long hitter to keep your score low. Fairways were in good shape as were the greens. Gas carts smelled of exhaust . Staff were very nice

Decent course, but I just don’t see the value (weekend rate of $156). For the record I had a pretty good round (82), so this review isn’t about how I played.

Greens: inconsistent, a bit slow and many had a lot of ball marks. The ball didn’t roll great. To give it a rating id say a 3 out of 5

Bunkers: I know we’re in Covid times, but there shouldn’t be weeds growing in bunkers. That’s just lack of maintenance

Fairways were in good shape, tee boxes weren’t spectacular but not the worst, rough was pretty consistent.

I’d agree with other reviews, it’s a decent course, but is def showing signs of aging and could use some TLC. There are definitely better courses out there for your money.

I booked at Centennial randomly based on the tee times available the night before the round. I could not have picked a better spot if I'd tried. The staff was friendly and grounds amazing. I didn't play my best golf but I had a blast. The only issue was the pace, we were behind a group that was playing slowly and therefore waited at some tee boxes. Typically I don't mind but the group behind us continued to hit into us and press at each hole, in the end that's bad golf karma for them. I will absolutely play Centennial again this season.
