Diamond in the rough

It is well off the beaten path but worth the drive. The course is quintessential Pete Dye design which I adore. The staff needs work on customer service. I mean when a bag drop guy steals your pro v1 and laughs about it when you confront him and doesn’t return it then the round starts off sour. Also not accommodating in any fashion with the attitude that he didn’t want to be there in the heat. The course nevertheless is a fun and interesting layout that I enjoyed.

Do you know how many new golf balls the outside staff comes across from balls being left in carts at the end of a round and otherwise?

Great course

Excellent course in top condition. The views and setup of the holes are excellent, and it is a good challenge throughout.

The only negative is that the cost is high - $150 per and $230 per on weekend mornings. The deal on GolfNow was a bit better. This course is very worth playing, but selectively relative to the cost structure.

Worth playing

A little off the beaten path. Well worth the trip. Very good layout. In very good shape. Staff helpful and courteous. First time playing. Tees are appropriate for all skill levels. My wife (36 handicap) did not feel overwhelmed from her tees. Played from the granite tees (6200), tough but fair. Typical Pete Dye rolling greens in great shape and rolled true. Would highly recommended this course to others.

Challenging Pete dye course, with undulating greens, narrow fairways. 15 th hole par 3 very odd. Overall, had a nice round, friendly staff, do think it’s a bit over priced

First class course right from the starter handing out towels and water. Great layout and we were never playing up on the group ahead of us even though they were walking. And we never got played up on. will Definitely be back.

Beautiful layout

One of the better public courses around Westchester county, NY. A bit over priced at $250, worth $150 mornings and $100 afternoon.

Good Course but Overpriced

Have been waiting to give this course a try and finally did when I saw a Hot Deal that made it somewhat reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Range balls are complimentary but the balls are limited flight and it was mats only. Range itself is only about 200 yards long. Yardage books are very detailed and complimentary as is the GPS in the cart.

The course itself was a very fun and challenging layout. Don't let your ego get the better of you - play from the correct tees so a good drive carries the trouble. Greens were smooth but slow for an upscale course. Also had a few spots that were patchy but the hole locations were usually away from these spots. There were a few foursomes in front of us and we played at a comfortable pace of just over four and a half hours.

Overall I had a great experience but I don't think the course is worth the sticker price - it should be priced $100-150 which is where the Hot Deals usually have it.

One of the nicest courses in Southern New York State

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and its challenges. Fortunately I played well and didn't have to deal with most of Pete Dye's difficult hazards. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you want a treat, try this course.

Challenging layout and friendly staff

Fun course to play. I have played here 5 times, staff friendliness has impressed me every single time. Greens were a bit spotty. Overpriced course 150/100 is worth it not the 250/150 they charge now.

Great Dye Design

Lots of Carries and blind shots off the tee. Need to trust the yardage guide and have faith in your shots. Off course amenities are sub-par for a $200 round but that should rectified in a few more years. Plenty of picturesque holes, be sure to play the proper tees otherwise the course will eat you alive.

Didn't meet expectations

Having heard and read great things about the course, I was excited about getting a change to play, but I left somewhat disappointed.

For the price, I was expecting top end, all the way around. The driving range disappointed, the staff friendliness wasn't the greatest and the course conditions while OK, weren't what I was expecting.

The layout is tough. There is little to no room for error on most tee and approach shots. Your tee shots are visually intimidating and present a lot of blind shots. If you are a sprayer of the ball, you will have a long and aggravating day. The greens weren't overly fast or difficult to read, but you pay a steep price if you're offline and trying to get up & down.

Overall, it was OK. I would enjoy playing the course again, but for the price, it's not worth it. I was expecting a top end experience and left disappointed. We did have lunch after the round however, and the food and service were great.

Very Difficult

One of the toughest courses I have played. As a 12 index and a few higher handicaps in the group we decided to play off Granite, which was certainly the right choice. This course is very tight with little room for error. There are a number of blind shots and forced carries (200+ yards). If you are a avid golfer with an index below 15 I would highly suggest playing this course if in the area. Be ready for a challenge!

Tough course

This is an extremely difficult course with little room for error. Many blind shots and a couple of +200 yards carry. Fairways in good condition but tight. Unless you drive the ball straight and with purpose you are going to be in trouble. Almost 100 pct uneven lies. Greens were just punched but still rolled ok. A couple of them were too undulated. Scenery is magnificent. Unless you have a low hcp. Not enjoyable

Great layout. Great visual

Possibly the most visually stimulating golf course I've played. While it has a "temporary" club house it has all the amenities you need. Pete Dye at his best/worst. Instead of his signature rail road ties he ysed the boulders on site. Biews and unique carries. #13, a par5 has a carry of a boulder in the middle of the fairway. Some blind shots. Great place for a business meeting.

STAFF OVERHAUL

Solid course overall. Definitely needs to be watered more and some of the holes need better signage. However, did not appreciate the staff members attitudes and hopefully soon they will be replaced by computers. Driving range is pretty sad as well. Fine to play once but see no need to play again.

Not for the high handicapper

The course was in beautiful condition. It is a difficult. Tight fairways with no forgiveness. Mounding or hugh bunkers on either side. Some forced carries. And then you reach the green and they are very large, undulating, and fast. Bring extra balls and some nourishment, no restaurant. Very pricey too.

Extremely difficult, but very scenic

The beauty and conditioning of this golf course make it a four-star performer, but unless you've got some serious golf skills, throw your expectations of scoring out the window. Quite frankly, there are very few bailout areas, and many misses aren't just penalized, they're either a wet or lost ball or impossible lie. The rock outcroppings are certainly another aspect of this course that's beautiful - until you hit one in the middle of the fairway and the ball bounces into oblivion. And the bunkers, of which there are many, are certainly true hazards, with many of them requiring you to take your medicine. While I agree this would be an interesting course for a major championship, mortal golfers are going to struggle here . And I'm not just talking double-digit handicaps. High singles, too. But if you feel like you're game is in shape, give it a whirl; it's a great test.

Not a Pete Dye Fan

I don't like courses that penalize good golf shots. Pete Dye has his good moments, but this was not one of them. The greens were a mess, both from disease and the apparent inability for members to fix their ball marks on the green, replace divots, etc. the greens looks like people were tap dancing on them in their golf spikes. The price is absurd as well.
