Putnam County Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

It was a good afternoon
I played Putnam this past Sunday. Although we just had a lot lot of rain the course was so n good shape from tee to green. The back nine is tight and there are 2 goofy holes. All in all, I had a good afternoon.
Gps
The holes did not match up to the gps on my phone or watch.
Hot deal are well worth it. Come with cart. Save a lots energy. Finish in 31/2 hours. Gorgeous day. 65 degree unbeatable.
Great to be back
Haven.t been here for many years, brought back fine memories of a nice track.
Great day overall
9 handicapper. Played with 3 other seasoned golfers. Overall conditions were tremendous considering The time of year and recent testy weather conditions.
For a muni it was very nice. Also I just found out today that this used to be a private club up until the seventies.
Nice layout. Tees , fairways and greens all in great shape.
Congratulations to the GM and grounds crews.
Can’t wait to play in some warmer weather conditions.
Nice Find
Played for first time..due to Covid-19, no pro shop or dining available, so couldn't review. Great condition for springtime, tremendous greens. Lots of elevation and variety of holes. I will be back
Will be Back for sure.
Fun tea k. Great layout. Awesome greens. Looking forward to playing it when things get back to normal and it’s fully opened.
Avoiding the virus
Overall it was a good round. The course is following all the precautions for the COVID-19 virus that's impacting our world. I didn't have to touch anything. Paid before hand, got my receipt from the printer that stood about 10 feet from the guy behind the glass. Only 1 unrelated person per cart. I walked. Just me and my friend. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled fast, like they always do here. Probably the most difficult part is the speedy greens. I'd definitely recommend playing here at least once. I think this was my third trip.
Putnam National
This is a good course for everyone. It has some very challenging holes and some easy ones. It requires different clubs to be used and has different looks from different tees. Staff is very friendly.
Slowwwwwwww
Every time slot is available on golf now , we show up 1245 time slot 20-24 guys there telling starter who ho out.. not starters fault .. started at 1245 didn’t finish round because of darkness.. F-in joke

I really like this course. From both the white and blue tees it is a great challenge. Greens are usually very good. Traps need a little work. The pace of play and the quality of golf is not so hot.
