Tucked away in the Ramapo Mountains on a perch overlooking the Hudson, Patriot Hills Golf Club in Stony Point feels far but it’s conveniently only an hour’s drive from the city. The golf course tumbles across dramatically rolling hills, providing views that span the Hudson Valley. Don’t let the 6,485 yards on the scorecard fool you, the daunting elevation changes make the course feel much longer. Walkers should be forewarned that this mountainous golf course is nearly impossible on foot. You can expect a few approaches to uphill greens but more often you’ll be faced with intimidating shots from elevated tees, which loom more than 200 feet above the severely contoured fairways below. The Patriot Hills layout is a formidable test but players of any skill level can appreciate the meticulous care that went into crafting each hole.

Lots of shade and beautiful course

Beautiful course with lots of rolling hills. Shaded on the cart path to help keep you cool on hot days.

Bunkers are beautifully positioned around the fairways and green which offer a breathtaking view off the tee box.

Great course

Absolutely beautiful course. It's definitely challenging, so choose your tee box wisely. If you're a visual player and like to shape shots, you're gonna love this course. It sets up great to the eye on the tee. Greens were in great shape and the clubhouse had some nice amenities. I could see a group hanging out there all day.

A Hidden Gem That Outshines Many Private Clubs

Patriot Hills is hands down one of the best public golf courses I’ve played in the Hudson Valley area. I teed off midday and was blown away by the quality of the course—lush fairways, challenging elevation changes, and jaw-dropping views throughout. Every hole felt like a new experience, with the kind of scenic beauty you usually only find at high-end mountain courses. At times, the landscape even gave me Green Mountain National vibes from Vermont—just gorgeous.

What really impressed me was the customer service. I’ve been struggling with a bit of knee pain lately and asked for a single cart—something most courses won’t budge on, even with documentation. But the team at Patriot Hills didn’t hesitate. They made sure I was comfortable and moving at a good pace, which helped not only me but the groups around us as well.

Pace of play was great—we wrapped up the round in right around four hours. There’s a solid halfway house after the front nine with snacks, cold drinks, and beer, and the clubhouse grill also served up a great lunch. The whole day, including the cart, cost about $80, which is an unbeatable price for a course of this caliber. Honestly, it plays better than many private clubs I’ve visited.

This place is a gem. Can’t recommend it enough.

Beautiful vistas

Challenging course, but well laid out and nicely maintained. The carts are up to date, quiet and well maintained.

The treat here are the views and vistas across the mountain tops and into the valleys, in some cases spectacular!

Nice course with nice views

Very well laid out course with elevated tee boxes and beautiful views of the mountains. Each hole is unique with nice views. Course in good condition and they also have a driving range. Good updated clubhouse with trackmans in the bar restaurant. Polite and helpful staff. Definitely worth driving up to play here.

Challenging course with good conditions

Challenging course with level changes

Don’t even think about walking!

Without knowledge of the elevation changes in advance or a good rangefinder, you will be toast!

The greens are designed to be challenging, so bring your putting game! Getting on regulation is not a guarantee of part!

Staff was particularly kind and gentlemanly.
