One/Two Course at Apple Greens Golf Course

Everything was great this day with exception of the condition of the greens. Greens took a beating from the recent winter, and will take a bit of time to get back to great condition. Still was able to make several longer putts, so I enjoyed the round.

Play this course a lot, one of my favorite. Course opened earlier then most some greens still need some work but all are open. Greens are usually very true and fast.

Scenic and enjoyable layout. Tee boxes, bunkers and fairways in decent condition. Sadly the majority of the greens sustained winter damage. While this is could not be controlled, perhaps the course could have made mention of this prior to the round.

If you can play the east, then the front 9 this course is amazing. Playing the front "18" can feel a little too much the same, but the east 9 really changes things up!

Course is in decent condition considering the weather this winter.... 2-3 weeks of good summer weather from being great.

Played it on a cold windy day. East nine were tough but fair due to strong wind. Course 1 was in better condition. Greens need some work.

Apple Greens is usually one of the nicest courses in the area, I have played it many times. However this time I was disappointed. While most of the course was in decent condition, the greens were horrific. It was a chore to get a 20 foot putt within 5 feet. The greens were more brown than green, with a strange criss-cross pattern. I'll give them a pass however because the greens are usually immaculate. With that said, I wouldn't pay more than $20 to play this course until the greens are back to normal.

If you live in the Hudson Valley you MUST play Apple Greens. Fairways are superb, rough is penal but not punishing, greens are contoured and lightning fast. Holes are well-defined and each poses its own interesting challenges. There is trouble on every hole, but if you hit it straight you'll be fine. Par 3s, unfortunately, are not memorable. One of the best-conditioned 18-hole public courses in the Hudson Valley. Course gets a lot of play, so reserve a tee time.

And be sure to try the 9-hole (no walkers) East Course. Elevation changes and views are amazing. Quite difficult for the mid-handicapper.
