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.

Better than I remembered

This course was better than I remember playing it more than five years ago. However the on course bathrooms were locked which is not very helpful. Otherwise a great round of golf!

If it’s car path only beware

Course was very wet car path only the entire course. Make sure you call and get the course condition updates before playing. Great layout. Nice elevated tee boxes.

Interesting course in bad condition

The course is a really fun layout (almost every hole is down hill), but it wasn’t fun in it’s current condition. Fairway and rough hadn’t been mowed in a few days. The greens were slow and covered in spike and ball marks. The bunkers weren’t rake, but that happens at a lot of public courses unfortunately.

Good to be back

I think most golfers that experienced this course would agree on the layout of the course to be interesting. Many holes gives you different options to approach.

Towards end of season, so this course took its share of beating, but greens were still in good condition overall, and bunkers were well kept. Though course got shorter, appreciated the tee box adjustment to move forward, to repair other tee boxes. It was raining for better part of the round, but thought the course drained well, and pace was decent. Overall happy to pay my share and come back to play again.

I’ve Always Been A Fan

Patriot Hills has always been one of my favorite courses to play. The layout is fun and challenging. The course is always in good shape. Tee boxes chopped up a bit, but not bad. Fairways are in good shape, and the bunkers are full with pure sand, not dirt. Give it a try.

Eye candy for the masochist

Patriot Hills is beautiful but tough. Don’t attempt to walk it, no matter what shape you (think you) are in. Most of the tee boxes are severely elevated, offering gorgeous views of the Ramapo Mountains and daunting tee shots. Too many fairway bunkers in play for my taste. Greens were hard to read and large; like many public courses, this one attracts players who either don’t know how to fix a ball mark or don’t care to. Some greens were severely pockmarked and affected rolls. All in all, if Patriot Hills were 1 hour away — I drove two hours — I’d play it a few more times. Interesting side note: The course is on the site of a sprawling campus that once housed the mentally challenged, often unjustifiably called an insane asylum back in the day. That is somewhat ironic in that golf can drive us insane.

What Can You Not Say!!!

I may be a bit bias, but I fell in love with the course the first time I played it. From the time you pull up and have Al help from the car with your clubs, to seeing Pete the Ranger driving by giving you a good word of encouragement. The course can speak for itself. Beautiful and well maintained. As a intermediate golfer, I can appreciate how the course makes you think. The scenery is beautiful as well as all the animals that run around the course.

I highly recommend this course.

Course review by avid golfers

My son and I both 15 handicappers had a good time playing here in the high 90s heat wave today to celebrate my b- day. We enjoyed the good food at lunch at the Tavern and greeted by the friendly starter st the first tee. The course has great views, well maintained tee boxes and fairways, with decent speed greens for public course standard. It has a nice driving range. However, many greens were besten up with excessive ball and spike marks and bunkers were like having had some landslides with foundations exposed after some rains two days ago.

Every hole is breath-taken but the course is very challenging, if you're not playing well you will bury you.
