Although it's only an hour from New York City, the Garrison's secluded location nestled in the Hudson Highlands makes it feel much further. Perched 800 feet above the Hudson River, the 18-hole Garrison golf course offers panoramic views of the river and the surrounding mountains. As beautiful as the rolling hills are, they provide a challenging topography that will keep you from being distracted by the scenery. The rolling greens are flanked with bunkers and water. In addition to the uphill, downhill, and side hill lies, you can expect a few tough carries over deep ravines and stands of mature oaks along the fairways. The elevation changes are especially dramatic on the front nine while the back nine is a bit more open and forgiving, but you'll still need accuracy throughout the entire golf course.

Nice course, but super crowded...
Teed off 30 mins late and slow pace of play. waited on nearly every hole. Course is in very good condition and would play again. Just hope they figure out how to space out tee times better.
Course
Overall course in good shape. Greens in good shape. However, cart had no power and GPS system went on hole 4. Very difficult to play course you have never played without GPS. Spacing of holes on front nine very odd.
Awesome
Great Views, Great Conditions, and Great Time. Overall Awesome course.
Golf
Just get through the front nine, difficult if you can’t hit the ball straight. The back nine opens up. Great, difficult course, don’t look at the yardage, the course plays much longer than it says. All in all a great test of golf.
Beautiful course and beautiful views
Great time playing here for my first time. Staff was friendly and handling the COVID-19 situation effectively.
Good Memories
I was a member of a private club when one of my buddies first suggested playing this track in the late 80's. It was a treasure then and still is today. I played once this year but it was earlier in the year and the grass was dormant so it would be unfair to give an assessment based on that round. I'm playing here next Wednesday and because of Covid, carts aren't allowed. For some reason I'm getting brain freeze about the uphill holes, I seem to remember the downhill holes but I am worried about climbing hills at age 63 with a pull cart. Hopefully by wednesday the restriction will be lifted and I can rent a cart. As for the course (downhill holes), it helps to be able to carve a fade and hit a draw because every hole has a little curve to it. I am not in love with the 2nd hole though, it's a straight huge downhill shot surrounded by woods and crooked hitters have trouble finding their balls in the woods and short is death.
In Great Shape this Spring
Usually not my favorite course and walking it means 7 miles with your bag. Back isn't too bad but the front is tough, especially when they reverse the course but they have it in amazing shape, greens are rolling perfectly.
Terrible Pin Placement
Bar and snack bar were closed by 2:30 on a Friday afternoon???? I don’t understand how that could be allowed
Very difficult pin placement .... majority of holes on a berm or slope with extremely fast conditions.
I brought two golfers their for first time and neither will come back after 3 and 4 putting a few of the greens.
We all like quick greens but when your ball rolls 10’ off gree because you barely missed a 3’ put THat is not fun!!
Interesting layout, beautiful views of West Point, nice course, a little rough around the edges, very overpriced @ $85 for the weekend round.
Great Day
What a good round. Done in 3 1/2 hours No wait 4some in front of us let us go ahead and was a breeze. Course was great,weather was great. Only wish my game was the same
SLOW
Almost 5 hour round, never saw a ranger or a cart girl the entire round ..pins were all in nasty places and greens were very inconsistent
Hire a starter and ranger
Played this course approximately 50 times. Course is great and very challenging. However. no starter. no ranger No beverage cart and the outside bar is always closed Overpacked the place Waited at tee box with the group behind us on every hole on the back nine. Please hire a starter I cant recommend to a friend until you do
