Saxon Woods Golf Course

Always a fun time! Nice to see all the juniors learning!

Nice little track but (and I’m aware it was a Saturday afternoon in the summer) the pace of play was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Saw the ranger a few times but they didn’t even try to do anything (not much they can do cause everyone was backed up and I understand courses aren’t gonna book less tee times to help but this was ridiculous) I quit after 9 because it was getting dark and there was no point in playing another couple holes before they kicked us off.

Also, the starter was clearly not in a good mood and when I checked in 25 mins early he said he’d give me a “holler” when I was up because they were running behind. I told him I’d be on the practice putting green RIGHT in front of him but he never said anything then when I checked with him 15 mins after my scheduled tee time he said my group already teed off. Thanks for the “holler” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Love this course however the pace of play was very slow do to two foursomes in front of us who were not very good spent too much time looking for lost balls. The round took over 5 hours. NO ranger to be found anywhere. Other than that the course layout is challenging for mid handicap golfer. especially holes 13 and 14.

The Pro shop staff is ok, the starters are Ok, but the service is very inconsistent. They don't use Rangers on the course as they should to keep pace of play.

I have also found the rates they charge differ at times from other Westchester County owned courses. They do not promote the Twilight Special offered at County courses unless you ask. Not Cool!

Saxon Woods is the best of the Westchester county golf courses.

I have played this course from the early 90s. It has been up and down due to budgets but mostly up. Currently the course is in great shape. The only critical thing I can say is that the 5th hole needs some adjustments. First of all the inside corner of the dog leg has too many trees and does not allow for a clear shot to the green. There are 5 trees along the edge of the fairway that need to be removed. The original design was to have the green hidden by the hill the trees are on but not blocked. Secondly the green needs to be refurbished by putting mounds behind it to keep balls from going down the hill behind the green, the green itself needs to be recontored to allow for a more reasonable right pin placement.

I love the layout and the conditions are good with some exceptions (many bunkers are terrible-esp hole 7) (some tee boxes a bit beat up but understandable because of shading from trees and a lot of play/limited space to enlarge them). The golfNow tee time thing is an absolute mess. Use the Westchester County system and absolutely avoid golfNow.

Have played saxon woods for years and unfortunately today will be the last time. I had a 12:36 tee time and when I arrived the starter informed me they were running at least 30 minutes late When asked why, the reason I was given was that the weather is nice and what could I expect. Yeah that makes sense. We then proceeded to wait on every shot including multiple 15+ minute waits on tee boxes. We left after playing 11 holes in 3 and a half hours. It’s a poorly kept secret that workers take money under the table to get people out in between tee times and that’s how 6 hour rounds happen. The people running this golf course should be ashamed, no accountability.

Decent course, little too tight as far as next fairways are concerned. Condition was ok but the rough at many places was just too thick (couldn't find the ball if did not land in the fairway). Overall, fair value for the money for a county course. I will recommend this course.

Staff was warm and receptive. Play was EXTREMELY slow even after the ranger came out. We had two group waiting on every tee box, with a third putting out on the prior green

Course conditions were good. Very hot day would have been nice to have a cart traveling the course to get drinks.

Great friendly staff! Course was crowded but moved along great for a county course!
