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.

Perfect Day

The course was in great shape and the fall day was perfect! Lots of downhill and uphill lies and the greens were very fast.

Played as a single with 3 other experienced players and we finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes. A Perfect day!

Great course layout , but greens messy w/ nature debri

Great course layout - a bit pricey ($85-115)

for not being able to take carts of path for wetness.

Should be a discount for those conditions ,

also most greens had small tree debri everywhere

A Fall MUST

What a beautiful course in the fall! In pretty good shape for all the rain that we've had!!

Today it was cart path only and the bunkers will need a bit of repair, but the course conditions seem to be well taken care of and a lot of work has gone into upkeep this course with all the rain that we have had.

The staff is friendly, especially the starter and cart guys. The restaurant was pretty good too!

Take advantage of their off the grass, driving range, and great putting greens.

One thing to note the cart girl doesn't have any warm beverages which would be a great idea as it's getting cold, a little windy and sometimes rainy it would be nice to have hot chocolate, and hot toddys available for purchase from the cart girl. 😉
