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.

Putnam County Golf Course

Every thing was great except they put us behind 2 separate ladies two somes who weren’t very good golfers, instead of sending them out as a four some. Very slow round.

Undulating Greens

Greens rolled beautifully, but they have so many undulations on them, Every hole seemed like a tournament pin placement, but there did not seem to be any flat space to put a flag. Gorgeous day. Course is beautiful. Great value.

Great condition!

The course is in very good condition.

The fairways, and the traps are well maintained.

The greens are in great condition and roll true. Just be sure to read the greens and roll your putt well if you want to score. The multi tiered greens will challenge you every time.

The staff are friendly and the cold beverages in the clubhouse are a perfect ending to a great day of golf. Looking forward to the next outing.

1st time back after years away

10+ yrs ago I used to work there, and play all the time. After I moved on from that job though I could not justify going back and paying their (At the time) $67 fees.

I found a decent discount on Golfnow and gave the course a try after years off from it.

It was definitely worth the $30 I payed, but their normal rates are still a little high. Overall, great changes since I've last been. They switched the front and the back nine, which was am excellent decision, leaving the more challening, scenic 9 for the end.

Long story short, it is a good golf course, but their rates are a little too high.

Bad pace of play

Recently the pace of play has been terrible. It’s taken over 4 hours to play round and that’s not great

Great during weekday afternoon

we got to course 45 minutes ahead of time starter said we had to wait till time we paid for on golf now even though no one else was there. Makes no sense to me.Had this happen once before at another course. This makes me feel as though they resent that we booked on golf now.Again we were not asking to get in front of anyone guess they liked their authority.
