First time played. Beautiful vistas

We went out on the Lakes and then Meadows 9’s. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Troon runs a nice venue. My only negative which is based on my being used to golf course technology and especially due to not knowing the course previously at all … screens in the carts showing layout, hazards, distances, etc. should be present at Centennial. It absolutely speeds up pace of play when golfers, including myself, know where they’re supposed to be “going”. Will definitely go back but hoping Troon invests in those screens.

Perfect weather
Used cart

First Time

Nice track, VERY hilly. essentially half cart path only due to the hills. Lot of walking!

Decent conditions, greens tough to figure out due to inconsistent rollout. Big Boy course for sure, seniors play up!

Great course, no ranger to speed up palay

Course is always great! Got there early to hit balls but range was closed. 8:30 tee time and got there before 8:00. Staff was great. People in front of us were more than a home behind and never pushed to move faster. Also tough to for some people to keep pace when you can’t get to your ball easily from the cart because of where you have to park it at times. I love the course and the greens. This was just too long of a round.

Great Father's day at Centennial

Includes your pregame warm up range balls, and played Lakes/Meadows which are the original 18 and my favorite 9's. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Tee boxes need some seed fill boxes and were a little beat up. Overall a great day on the course and the pace was pretty good. We stayed right on the foursome in front of us and finished only 5 minutes behind schedule.

Overall a really great daily fees golf experience.

Great operation!

Great layout, awesome conditions, and if I could give the staff 6 stars, I would.

The only issue was the pace of play on the back nine. We finished two holes on the back and ran into a backup. One of the groups had 5 players. Next time I’ll come earlier so I have time to finish the whole round.

Overall a great experience.

Great course, worth the money? Not sure

I played the meadows and fairways 18, course was nice and well maintained. Tee boxes were a bit out of shape, they are very small for the amount of people who play the course. Definitely one of the better courses in lower New York, but for the price I don’t think I’d play here again. Other similar courses for about half the price.

Best public Course in Hudson Valley

Centennial has 27 holes of incredible golf.

The facilities are by far the best in the area with two large putting and chipping areas, bunkers and a driving range where you can hit off the grass Friday-Sunday, mats Monday-Thursday.

The staff is friendly and helpful. Drop your clubs in front and they’ll bring your clubs to the driving range with a cart. The landscaping crew keep centennial looking meticulous.

There are some capital improvements which need to be made, like electric carts with GPS. The current gas carts suck and have no GPS.

Also, the hitting mats need more consistent tees, you’d need to break your own tees to hit driver, which, for the price, rubber tees should be provided.
