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.

Good looks aren’t everything
When you drive a ball down the middle and it ends up in the deep left rough because the fairways slopes severely to one side - it’s time to rethink the design. When you have a par3 that is so uphill you can’t see the flagstick from the tee - it’s more like playing a giant mini-golf course. And then there are the greens - with holes cut into the middle of steep slopes making impossible to stop a putt until it’s past the pin. The course conditions were excellent. The carts had GPS - but were constantly interrupted with advertisements. The staff were very friendly, especially the cart girl. Just too many better options elsewhere.
Very Nice place, Greens were slower than normal and pace was also slow. 5hr round.
Great first time!
My wife is just starting out - and we went here for the first time. Excellent staff and very welcoming to first timers. Most importantly, it was super crowded, but the starter did a perfect job of spacing out the groups so that we barely waited despite going on a saturday afternoon. Great job! will go again.
Great condition
Very. Surprised to see the course in such great shape for this time of year
Solid round; good change of pace
Decent break from the monotonous Westchester courses. Place is super wet though, otherwise decent condition. I played on a horribly windy day which was a drag. The greens are confusing and challenging, but can be frustrating. They seemed to roll true. It’s a tough walk through some parts but they do have a new cart fleet.
Hazardous
Most tee boxes face other wholes making it almost impossible to enjoy an entire round without worrying about a golf ball flying in your direction. My group alone was almost hit about 3 times. Not the courssy fault but, horrible golf edict by other golfers, huge turnoff. Definitely not the golfers you want to be paired with. The two gentlemen I was paired with have been playing there for years and decided that was their last round at Putnam. Starter guy in the morning had a bad attitude with most people checking in for the 30 minutes I was putting on the practice green. He was a very distasteful person.
Wet to be expected but Great condition for April 1st
Putnam Golf Course
Only problem was that the starter needs an attitude adjustment in friendliness
Slow players took long hours to finish 18 holes.
Anyhow, the golf course was well maintained greens and fairways. If there is another hot deal on GolfNow, I will come again.
