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.

The course is well kept

The front 9 has repetitious fairways, just straight back and forth and a little longer than most courses from white and red tees.

The back nine a little more interesting and no quite as long.

Aerated golf course

Due to the aerated greens did not enjoy this course like I normally do! Love the layout and will look to return in the next few weeks when the greens should be in perfect shape!

finally some sun

this course always in good condition but so much rain made it soggy and cart path only for now. only issue was greens were recently aerated and tough with the sand to get pace right. this will be worth the trip in a few weeks though. only two uphill holes so good for walkers too.

Perfect Course to Start Season

Played here years ago under old name and management and was very underwhelmed.

This was probably my 6th round or so here since last year and I've been very pleased. Length from blues is respectable at 6,700-6,800 yards - 4-5 legit par 4's, greens move and are running pretty true and even if you just want to get rust off and kinks out it's open enough in most spots to bail out.

Kudos to the staff and maintenance crew here.

Surprisingly nice course but slow pace

I read reviews on this place before going about the pace being slow, and it is true. They need to get the pace fixed and this place would be perfect. Course was in great condition, holes were very interesting. I played on a Thursday during the week and it was irritatingly slow at some points but the place wasn't packed, so it is a fixable issue. For people that are impatient, I wouldn't play here. But if you're okay waiting on half the holes then go for it, you wont be disappointed. Ill probably play here again next season and hopefully they fixed the pace issue. GREAT VALUE for the money though.

Putnam off season

I was lucky enough to get out for a quick round this past Saturday for 18 holes in the off-season. Weather was absolutely beautiful and so was the course! Fewest leaves have ever seen on a course for this time of season. Cant wait to get out on this course again!

Course in Excellent Shape

I play Putnam regularly and the course is in great shape, especially the greens which roll true and fast. Played mid week, mid morning and finished the round in just under 4 hours. While some of the par 5s play very long, overall the course is not overly challenging. Its a fair track, though on crowded days the closeness of the adjoining fairways creates some issues. I do recommend this course as good value for money.

Never again

I had read some reviews and thought in this day and age that all golf courses will keep people moving. The front wasn't that bad (we teed off 15 minutes late), but the back was BRUTAL! On one hole (a par 4), there was a group on the green, a twosome in the fairway, a threesome in the same fairway and us on the tee with a group waiting behind us - ridiculous! The course is also squeezed in with too many adjacent holes...all you hear is FORE! The thing that I noticed most is that it attracts golfers that can't play very well. Go at your own risk!

Great conditions, fast round

I hadn't played here in awhile, they did some renovations to the facilities and it has great potential. The course was immaculate, greens were fast and true, fairways excellent, rough not too deep. Great course to play on weekdays!
