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.

It is a decent mid range course

Played Sunday afternoon

it was slow and crowded but no surprise

Course is dry and hilly and greens were ok

Fairways ok - they should put dirt on carts to fill divots

Get the players to do some work while they wait

Some fun holes - 8- 9 -10

18th is one of the hardest par 4s around

Overall enjoyed it

Fairways are close together on back nine

So slow and impossible greens

I have played Putnam many times but this was the worst round yet. 5 1/2 hours to play the round, halfway house was not open but it is never open, the starters were rude as always, and the pin placements were impossible. My playing partners and I I hit almost very green in regulation only to walk away with 3-4 puts on every hole because there wasn’t a pin on a flat spot on any hole

Save your time and play one of the great Westchester courses.

First Time Playing

Overall decent golf course and great for the price. The crowd of people who are there are questionable. Cursing is heard echoing throughout the golf course at all times due to its player. Interesting atmosphere. Could be a fluke day.

5 1/2 hr round

Way to long to play a round of golf needed to get some rangers out there to keep things moving, snack shack was closed on a beautiful day on a holiday weekend could have made a million dollars selling hot dogs and beer. Almost seems like a group or two was inserted into tee sheet not good for a busy weekend. Overall course was in great shape. I would play again just not on a Saturday or a holiday weekend.
