Somers National Golf Club

Fairways are non existent, it’s just dirt/mud.

Horrible layout.

Greens were good.

Nice golf carts

I have been an avid golfer my entire life. Its not often that I complain about a golf course… actually this is the first one ever. The course was completely dried out dead grass. The tee boxes were mounds of dirt. And the traps were piles of rocks. Because I have played here many times before, I anticipated all of this. One thing I didn't anticipate was how rude starter was to me and my friends. We played on a day that was about 98 degrees, sun beaming down (poor decision on our part). The starter proceed to tell us we cant bring our own waters onto the course. I explained to him that it is excruciatingly hot out. He said yes thats fine but you have to buy them here, and began to legitimately scream at me about it and rant about how cheap I was (meanwhile I was the one spending $80 to play at the worst course in Westchester). During our round, which we couldnt have our waters. We saw the cart girl once on the 4th hole and that was it for the rest of the 14 holes. Not a single drop of liquid on a single hole out there. I thought I was going to faint. I used to play at Somers all the time years ago. Its probably close to 8 years since I played there, and yesterday completely refreshed my memory as to why I’ll never go back again. This also wasn't the first bad encounter I’ve had with employees here. I’m not an aggressive person, but I’m glad to say I’m genuinely happy this place is going out of business.

Just disappointed with the overall experience at this course. I knew the course was very tough (played few times before the pandemic ) and really had a good memory of the course. But it seems covid thing really messed up how it operates the business. The only positive thing I can think of was a pace of the game since no one was around (and I am just wandering why....).

Course is fun and challenging, tee boxes can use a touch up.

I really want to like this course…however a few glaring issues that could be easy fixes…with care and time.

Worries me that management has given up which I hope isnt the case.

1. Tee boxes are in poor shape. Guys, strip and re-seed.

2. Some Fairways are burnt out in areas and just simply not maintained. Whereas others along the track are meticulously maintained. Hole #3 has enormous opportunity to be your trademark hole except for the geese that use it as their bathroom.

3. Blow up hole #2….its built on the side of a hill and useless

4. I see the greens are becoming better which is appreciated but dont continue overusing the blue/green overspray

This course could be great if given time and care. The staff is pleasant. Hopefully new management is overseeing this to be a great course but currently its mid-level.
