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.

Home of Rude Clientele and 5 Hour Rounds

Putnam is a good choice for beginning golfers due to the lack of areas to lose balls. I’ll typically go with beginner friends 1-2x a year but likely never again. Pace of play at Putnam has always been a problem as the course just sends people out as fast as possible without any proper spacing.

There are no rangers to monitor pace of play and it’s impossible to play in less than 5+ hours unless it’s a weekday morning. At the end of our round yesterday, a golfer going down the 10th hole, which runs parallel to No.18, felt it necessary to fake a loud cough in my beginner friend’s backswing and then heckle him after he messed up the shot. Yes, some people are just rude but that type of attitude feels woven into the personality of this course. It’s embarrassing on behalf of the management and I hope anyone reading this chooses better options in the area.

This course is a waste of an entire afternoon.

Decent for a public course

Conditions were super dry. Edges of some fairways were beat up and just dirt. Decent layout and some challenging holes. Small driving range but ok to warm up just the irons. Friendly and helpful staff. Great bar and restaurant for before and after round. Saw the cart girl almost every other hole which was great!

Greens are currently awful. They have sanded the green and made it very hard and difficult to read the putts.
