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.

Perfect Day

Course was in good shape and pace of play surprisingly steady for a crowded Sunday afternoon! Greens were super fast which made it a challenging round.

Keep looking - poorly run

Not a horrible price. Pace of play was slow.. They jam people in. Watch out for stray balls. 1 in 10 chance your gonna get hit. The Cart died on us far away from the clubhouse.. called every extension to get help and no one answered. straight to voicemail. Had to walk the rest of the course. Even Left a message with the general manager trying to get help…, you would think they would have at least called me back later and apologized. Skip this one.

Terrific shape in mid-November

My buddy and I tried this course on a pretty chilly day in November. The conditions were excellent (especially for this time of year). The course wasn’t busy so we had a 3:15 round. Staff was great.

I will be back next summer to see it in golf season shape.

Autumn Leaves

As slow around as I've played. It's fall golf so you expect leaves but in the fairway? No sign of anybody blowing them which made finding your ball a challenge. No ranger and a surly starter warning us to return cart by 6!! Friendly person at the desk. Nice greens.

This course is nice

I should have my own golf cart if I’m a single player because if I’m riding with somebody and he doesn’t want to finish the whole 18 holes I have to take him to the parking lot and come back then I will miss a hole or two holes.
