About

Holes 18
Type Municipal
Par 71
Length 6485 yards
Slope 136
Rating 72.0

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.

Great Fairways

It has been 11 days since the greens were aerated and they were terrible. It doesn't usually take greens a long time for them to be back in top shape. Other than that beautiful course

Always a challenge

I played here a few times and it is always a great time and challenge. The only negative this time was that there was no pre-notification by Golfnow that the course was recently aerated. Typically, Golfnow flags a course that has recently been aerated. I can understand if Golfnow did not know however upon receiving my confirm of the purchase, there was a note at the bottom stating that there was a recent aeration. Indeed I could have cancelled and booked somewhere else but it was too hectic to go through the motions once again.

Extreemely challenging and rewarding

Great layout. Fairways wide enough to allow for off-center hits but tricky and challenging too. A little up and down on the terrain, but the course was in excellent shape. We played at a nice pace and finished in 4 hours 15 minutes. Signing up online is cheaper than calling by phone. Will play again if possible.

I've seen it better but still love it

Ok so, we were stuck behind a group of kids playing a match play so they would spend 5+ mins looking for their ball rather than just taking a drop.. But they were stuck behind a husband/wife foresome and the ranger passed twice and did NOTHING about it, so we started around 4 and had to call it at 16/17 Bc darkness over 4 hours later. It was painfully slow, I blame the ranger on that one. My only other complaint is the greens were in severe need of a roll/haircut. They were pretty beat up. Now that said, it's a BEAUTIFUL course. Amazing scenery for the money and I've played before last sept/oct and it was pristine!! So I know this is prob just a product of overuse in the high summer and timing issue with the crowding. I'm sure if I go back in a few weeks it'll be a more enjoyable experience. But I would still recomend this to anyone. Keep in mind a lot of up/down, and narrow shots. You will need to be laser sharp to keep things tight but overall a great course. I'll be back in the fall !

Mountain Top

One of my favorite courses. If you like extreme elevation and playing on top of a mountain with fantastic views, then play here. The layout and the views are nothing short of spectacular. The condition of the course and greens are also excellent. I drive almost 90 minutes to get there, but it's worth it.

Hidden Gem

This is a must play for anyone in the tri-state area. Incredible elevation from tee to green. Condition is pretty good, and greens are in good shape. Some of the views from the tee boxes are breathtaking. The last few holes are a bit underwhelming but as a whole the course is a real treat. Pay the $65 for the early bird round. This is a must ride course, it would be impossible to walk.

Mountain Golf !

I went because everyone told me this was a great course, and it is ! The problem is AS USUAL, nobody at these beautiful public tracks ever fixes their ball marks on the green. I JUST DON'T GET IT !!! ;-( Ya know why, these people RARELY hit the green in regulation, so they NEVER fix their ball marks.Therefore, the greens were pretty bad, bumpy and littered with unrepaired ball marks. The course is gorgeous with plenty of severe elevation changes

Saturday morning golf

Lovely layout pace of play excellent but no drinks cart in 80 degree weather. One of my favorite courses in the New York area. If you ever get a chance to play have no hesitation in booking a round as it would be throughly enjoyable

Challenging, Fun, and Scenic

Great track with drastic elevations, slick greens and great conditions. The hills are so severe carts are required, but the holes all play downhill with scenic vistas. A variety of tee boxes make for a fun round for all levels. The par 3's are short, some beefy par 4's and 5's, with a few short par 4's with fun risk/reward options. Expensive, but worth it!

Great course in Roclaknd

Challenging course, great views, great tee shots, tough greens!!!

Lots of sand, no water, need to ride can't walk.

Deer, turkey, and hawks all over. So even if your playing like me, you can enjoy the day!!!

Overall, unique course with lots of character. Bring lots of balls of your a double digit.

Go play it.

Lots of driving

The course is all hills. You drive your cart a lot between most of the holes. We played in a strong wind which wasn't fun. I don't who they had in mind when they made this course. It would be fine as a home course that one got to know well, but as a random public course it's just too hard and quirky. You just can't tell where to land your shots. Hard, fast greens.
