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.

Very nice course to walk. Greens and pin placement are very challenging. I always enjoy my rounds here with friendly staff and grounds.

Great day, but got beat by the Greens!!

8 of us played for our buddy’s birthday.

They were amazed by the conditions and value to walk on a weekend.

All of the staff were great. Clubhouse closed due to current situation, but the halfway hut was adequately appointed. Everyone wants to go back n try to beat the courses defense, those greens!!!

Great conditions, challenging greens, ok layout

You can tell this used to be an old country club. Wide fairways, very little OB, and a less than challenging layout. The front and back have been reversed according to my GPS unit. Front plays a little more interesting than the back which just felt like back and forth fairly and relatively straight Greens are in great shape,, relatively fast, with a challenging amount of break. Clearly the highlight of the course. Worth a play.

Nice Muni

GPS was messed up, course is reversed and maybe there is one new hole on the front that wasn’t on the old back? Tricky greens and impossible pin placements. Cool intro signs to each hole. Not bad, would play again

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.
