Nestled in the Lower Hudson Valley, Putnam County Golf Course enjoys a scenic location amid rolling hills yet it’s not too far from the city. Formerly known as Putnam National, the club was originally opened as a private club in 1959, it opened to the public when it was bought by the county in 2004 but it continues to offer the quality and amenities of a private country club. The golf course has front and back nines that are completely different from one another so be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag. Water hazards only come into play on two holes but don’t let that fool you, this course is formidable even for avid golfers. Putnam County Golf Course's final four holes are an especially challenging stretch that will test you with everything from uphill lies to a slew of strategically placed bunkers.

A good average muni

I mean good average because although the layout is fairly pedestrian the conditions were good enough. The putting surfaces were the defense on an otherwise defenseless course. Lots of relatively forgettable holes. Good place for locals looking to get a casual round in but it’s not going to be much of an interest for advanced golfers. I wouldn’t travel too far out of your way to get to it but if you want a practice round it’s a fairly priced option.
