Somers National Golf Club

So I showed up for my tee time 5 minutes before we had to tee off. I did not intend to show up 5 min before but traffic delayed my arrival time. When I arrived, I immediately checked in and the greeter told me that I have 5 min till I tee off and I acknowledged him with an apology and that we are headed right out. Mind you, it was just myself and another, a two some, but the greeter insisted on telling me that you know you should be here 20-30 min before tee time otherwise you will lose your tee time. I apologized again but the greeter did not accept an apology. What the greeter continued to say is give me the exact time it was and count down until we got on the tee box. Super annoying and disrespectful for someone who traveled an hour away to visit their golf course and spent $180 on the round for 2 people after thunderstorms hit this areafor the past 3 days. So we get on the tee box, we can’t go yet because you have the previous group on the fairway. So as we wait, we have the ranger come up to us and ask us questions if we been here before or not, we had a quick dialogue and I went on the tee box to prepare myself for the tee shot. The ranger comes on the tee box and stands behind me while I am mentally engaging into my shot. I had to ask the ranger to please move off the box so I do not hit him in my back swing (small tee box). The ranger is now advising me not to take any practice swings while on the box, so I asked him if he had any dirt in the green box designated for divot repair and he said and I quote, “doesn’t matter, no practice swing on the tee box”. I had to ask the guy what is the reason for all of this attention because I have been to many courses and even a member at a prestigious course and never have I been approached like this before. The guy ignored my question and stared at me as I swung my club for my first shot.

The day gets better, my partner and I brought no drinks because we abided by the course rules not to bring your own drinks on the course. There was no cart girl and we could not get anything before hand because our arrival time. On the turn we go inside to grab a drink and get back out on the course. We were inside the open bar for 15 minutes even though there were 2 staff members hanging up signs on the outside patio connected to the bar that saw us come in and did not stop to ask if they can help us. I had to ask one of them if we can get a drink, got the biggest attitude from one of them and then when I asked for a drink they had no cold gatorades. I had to pay $3 for a warm Gatorade that was not stocked in their fridge.

This course is nice but the staff suck! They should all be replaced with A.I because what’s the point of having real people if they want to act disrespectful to PAYING customers!! I would never recommend this place to anyone and in fact I would tho as far as calling the owner to get my money back because this over priced course is a disgrace to the game and the fans!!

The course is extremely narrow with woods everywhere. There are only four holes on the whole course you can pull out your driver...including par fives where you have to hit an iron on the tee and leave yourself over 300 yards on your second shot. The course is fine, would probably be better playing multiple times, but I would play other local courses before this one.

Well run and standard issue public course in a wooded development. Driving range and putting green adds to country club feel. Staff and amenities all above average.

The course itself needs some help. None of these holes are for the faint of heart and ball loss to quality of course ratio is off. Unforgiving to a fault. Needs someone with golfing knowledge to adapt where possible. I realize land at a premium but let’s be serious. This is not a good layout.

This course has a few real golf holes but more sorry excuses for them. Playing this course might be better then not playing golf at all.

Halfway shack is great. Food and pro shop are great as well. Nice people, just bad bones of a golf course.

Typical public course that could use work on tee boxes, fairways and greens. Canada Goose droppings are everywhere as are the geese. If it’s not close by for you, it may not be worth the drive to play a weekend round.

Absolutely amazing course! Great conditions! Great layout! Only thing was a few tee boxes wasn’t cut but other then that perfect!

Not worth it at all. Great carts is all I have to say. Other than that terrible all around from start to finish.

Varying Tee boxes are in rougher shape than others, but course needs more water overall. (I know we haven’t been getting much rain.) Greens we’re fairly quick but manageable, fairways were solid. You can see how much the water affects the course in positive and negative ways. Overall not a bad place to play, and not hard to get to. Would recommend to others.
