Somers National Golf Club

Course has some super tough holes... restaurant was amazing. Danielle was very accommodating and professional! I would join but it's 79 miles from my house! Worth the trip!

Staff wasn’t friendly , get ready to 4 put every time. Course has good potential. There’s a reason y there’s always tee times. Don’t be a hero, it’s not worth it

Strange layout.cannot hit driver on any par 5s, 5hr round, rangers did not do anything. tee boxes are uneven

This can be a challenging course with the slopes, dog meds, tight fairways and pin placement.

Lots f elevation. Plenty dg leg right and left fairways. Greens fast.

Overall, I had a solid experience at Somers National Golf Club, but with a few things worth noting.

I drove about 45 minutes to get there for a 9:10 AM tee time I booked. When I arrived around 9:00, the ranger told me to check with the clubhouse because my time had been moved to 9:40. After checking in, they radioed the starter and confirmed that the threesome I was paired with was already at the first tee waiting for me. They quickly arranged for a staff member to drive me over, which I appreciated.

I ended up sharing a cart with one of the guys in the group. While that’s pretty standard, I personally would have preferred my own cart, but I understand that’s not always possible. Once at the tee, we still had to wait for the group ahead to clear, so the timing shuffle didn’t really save any time.

The staff, especially the ranger at the first tee, were very friendly and welcoming. He even joked that we could’ve left our drivers at home—and honestly, he wasn’t wrong. I only pulled mine out maybe twice the entire round.

The condition of the course was good overall. The tee boxes were well kept, and the course itself is clearly maintained. The greens were definitely a standout challenge—fast, firm, and with tough hole placements that made putting a real test.

As for the layout, it’s definitely on the more challenging side. If you’re a 15+ handicap, expect a tough round. I played from the gold tees based on my game, and I’d recommend others be realistic about their tee selection as well. This was my second time playing here, and while the course is well-kept and demanding, it can be a grind.

All in all, it was a good experience with friendly staff and a unique, challenging layout. That said, between the drive, the level of difficulty, and the pricing, I’m not sure I’d make the trip again anytime soon. I can shoot my usual 95+ scores closer to home for a similar cost. That’s not a knock on the course—just my personal preference.

I’d definitely consider coming back in the future once my game improves and I’m ready to take it on a bit more confidently.

Very nice course, 5 out of 5 stars. Very challenging dog legs mixed in with some water holes, make sure to bring an extra dozen of balls.
