Don't waste your money

Terrible, frustrating course with horrible conditions. Some of the staff are friendly, but some are downright rude. At the turn, I got an ice-cold hot dog.

Hard, but fair test of golf

Somers National is a beautiful track that is not for the less than intermediate golfer. This course requires smart shots off of tees. If you cannot hit fairway consistently, this course can be punishing. The rough is deep, and eats up golf balls. The greens rolled exceptionally, meaning fast, but not unfairly.

While difficult, this is a really good test of golf for good golfers. Looking forward to my next round.

Fall golf

We have played a few courses this past few weeks here in NY CT, and the fallen leaves all over the fairway and even the greens have been a major issue. Somers has done an amazing job keeping the leave situation cleaned up. Played on Nov 4th and the fairways and greens were amazingly clean. I brought an extra box of balls expecting to lose a bunch and ended up losing a total of three that were sliced in the woods. If you are looking to play during the fall, and you are frustrated with the lack of grounds keeping and leaf blowing...somers is a great option.

Hot deal is not good deal from their staff.

They were somehow challenging.

They had nice view.

But their staff was no good to Hot deal's user.

Bring straight clubs

Wonderful course, especially for fall golf! Tight fairways with some scoring opportunity holes throughout. Challenging the whole way, but not over challenging. Extremely fun course with beautiful views down the fairways.

Not sure why all the bad reviews

I played about 60 rounds a year and decided last minute to come over here for a nice afternoon around and I have to be honest compared to last year because of the drought conditions. I’m not sure I understand all of the negative reviews.

The course is in great shape, and the starter was pleasant, and so was the pace of play. The greens also were in good shape.

Save for some of the weird layouts on a few holes a majority are fair enough and challenging enough that you would want to play again.

I would certainly come back and play again, especially in the fall

Frustratingly tight

It’s one thing for a shorter, hilly course to be tight, and there are a bunch of tight courses around Northern Westchester, but Somers was comically right to the point of almost unplayable. Other than some brown spots, the greens were rolling, but then pins were on side hills.

Not sure how you fix the too right problem, but I think there’s a lot of brush/bushes that could be cleared out between holes which would help.

Unlikely to return.

The staff needs training.

I played the course twice in 1 week because the course layout is exceptional. The greens are rolling nice and super quick, also the fairways and rough are plush. The tee boxes need a little TLC and need to be leveled. One of my problems with playing there is the staff. The starter really needed an attitude adjustment, if you speak to me in a condescending manner and tone, you will get it back ten times worse. Rushing me at the turn was unnecessary, especially as the course was not full and if the course had a ranger, then this individual would have seen, we were not slowing up play. Which brings me to my other concern, the 2 days I played there, they wasn't a ranger in sight and the group in front of us was holding everyone up from the 7th hole through to the 18th.

One last thing, why would there only be 2 things to eat on the menu, hotdogs and a cold buffalo chicken wrap. I asked for the wrap to be heated and it was heated on the outside and not throughout the wrap. My friend ate his because he was hungry, I did not. I ate enough cold food in the military. It is absurd to charge full price for a pre-made cold wrap, and without any fries or chips.

I only recommend the course, because the course is amazing, everything else, buyer beware.

Thank you for the review and we appreciate your kind comments regarding our course. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the course ranger. It is never our staff’s intention to rush our players to make them feel uncomfortable. We will also take your comments about our food selection into account to improve our choices moving forward. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience we know we are capable of!
