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.

Greens are fast and true.
Rough is long. Probably longer with the tain today. Fun course.
My 'HOME' course...
I worked here as a teenager. It's in great shape. Weekend rounds can be marathons, but if you catch the right day, it's a great layout. Interesting mix of long and short - especially if you choose the longer tees - elevation changes and modest hazards. Contoured greens that are well established will challenge you after a fresh cut.

Greens in great shape; Course is always fun to play; Holiday weekend pace of play slower than usual
This course is always fun to play; open and somewhat forgiving. Greens and fairways in great shape; however the rough was cut deep with the odd ball "disappearing" in plain site. I play this course often and find it excellent value for money, always in good condition with a friendly and engaging staff. As far as public courses go, this one is well maintained and in good shape. Played on the Friday before Memorial Day, great weather but an unusually slow pace of play leading to an almost 5 hour round. Generally during the week, the pace of play is good to excellent. If in the area I recommend Putnam as a friendly place to play.

Sunny Day
Nice day. Not crowded for a sunny day. Keep that pace of play Mr. Ranger. Greens were rolling nice, and were holding.

Good test of every club you carry
Played here many, many times a year. A good course for walkers, except for the par three uphill sixteenth. After walking the first fifteen holes, that uphill trek takes a bit of doing.
The course is in very good condition. Greens roll true. It's important to take a bit of time and get a good read. Good test of putting skills. Subtle [and some not so subtle] breaks can give for a three putt real easy if you don't pay attention . And the greens are faster than they appear to be.
Eighteen holes that require eighteen different strategies.
Everyone you'll come in contact with there is great.
Pace of play last round was very slow, but that round was the exception rather than the rule. Our two preceding foursomes were nice guys who may have just started playing recently so......they appreciated our patience.
All in all, this course makes for an enjoyable golf day.

Course is challenging for all levels
Last time I played course was 5 years ago. I was not disappointed. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape. Finished in just over 4 hours. No GPS but each tee box features a stone-like layout of the hole with suggestions on how best to play hole. I'll be back and won't wait 5 years to play it again!

Played early so pace was very good, course tends to play slow, conditions were very good except for water in a few traps, on the expensive side for a public course
