Pound Ridge Golf Club

Love the course, a bit difficult but that is Pete Dye for you. You are certainly penalized for hitting it in the rough but the curse was in great condition and it is visually stunning to the eye/

Great course but the attendant at the end of the round was rude when he accused me of having beer in my cooler which I was given permission to have the cooler which only had water. Needs a customer service lesson.

Awesome course, a lot of fun to play, not overly challenging. Course is not even close to what I would say is worth $250. Especially when the practice putting green is about a 20 x 10 ft area, the driving range has mats (no tees), and you’re hitting reduced flight balls because it’s only 200 yards long. Greens were also not even remotely close to the speed you would want/expect for $250. That being said, if this course was 125/150? I’d play it very frequently because it’s a great layout with every type of hole/shot option you could expect.

Staff is confrontational . Searched our bags for alcohol then tried to get us to pay for a errant ball that cRacked out golf cart gps. Sent ranger out to watch our groups. Bunch of deush bags working there.

It was my first time playing and it was a beautiful sunny day on a crisp fall day.

I found the course to be challenging - especially as we were playing from the "blues" - with a lot of blind shots to what were pretty tight greens. It certainly made you have to think about your second shots..

Pete Dye's greens are very deceptive - he can really fool you with his breaks. Brilliant. I will definitely play again!

Staff is rude and not very helpful. For a $160-200/pp a round they could at least clean your clubs after or operate a cart beverage service. Also, the main manager is particularly rude. They don’t serve any beers but if you try to bring your own they threaten you and basically make you think you’ve committed a capital crime for even attempting to BYOB. Lastly, they went cart path only when there was no rain or wetness and only about four foursomes on the course. Overall they should strategize how to make it a better experience because it’s too expensive to be subpar service. Course itself is beautiful though.

It’s simply the best in the area, bar none. For public golf, that is. And while it is expensive, the price point I believe is very fair. You would never get a per round cost as low as $250 per if you were a member of one of the local private clubs. And the golf conditions are on par with the private clubs. The pace of play is unmatched as well.

The only potentially negative thing I would say is that the course is fairly penal from either of the back two tees - forced carries of 200-210 are not uncommon. And thus very long tight approaches. Takes some of the strategy out of a WONDERFUL design.

My suggestion is to approach your first round here as a golf tourist. Chances are this will be one of the most expensive and most difficult public golf course you’ve played. Soak it all in and enjoy the natural beauty of the course and the diabolical design genius of Pete Dye. A tremendous golf experience. Enjoy!

Course is in great condition, pace of play was great never had to wait to hit a shot or tee off.

Real Pete Dye golf experience. Course in excellent shape especially given November timing. very tough but fair. very friendly staff at checkin, good practice putting and excellent chip/sand practice area. Course play long relative to distance. Very soft fairways and greens - no roll even with no rain for last week.
