Somers National Golf Club

This is a court that challenges you in every way. It’s very narrow so driver may stay in the bag but I enjoy the challenge because it makes you focus that much more on making good decisions.

The recent lack of rain has made the fairways almost as fast as the greens!

I wouldn’t recommend for a beginner. But if you’re up for the challenge Blake sure to bring lots of balls.

Rock hard fairways bc of zero irrigation. Course layout sucks, it’s so narrow and lots of undulation. Zero maintenance team; except for the guy mowing the dead fairways??? Explain that to me!!! LOL

Greens “look” great bc they are sprayed - roll inconsistently. A few decent holes but the others should be rebuilt or blown up. No halfway house or water jugs on the course. Even in the summer, no water jugs? Criminal.

Perfect shots go out of bounds because of the concrete like fairways and narrow holes.

I will never play here again. Luckily the round was $50 although I still feel like I was taken for a ride.

Tried to upload a pic of the horrendous fairways but don’t think it worked. Imagine the desert floor and there ya go.

I grew up near Somers hasn’t been here in years so I figured I’d check it out. Big mistake. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted at the bag stop by a starter who 1. Wouldn’t let me go out a few mins early despite the course being empty and 2. Wouldn’t allow me to take a solo cart because there was another single on my same tee time and the course “likes to conserve gas” (this is a direct quote). I decided to walk and he allowed me to pop out alone onto the essentially empty course.

The northeast has been in a rough drought this summer so I didn’t expect lush greenery but the tee boxes and fairways are all dead and hard dirt. Clearly no attempt to salvage them or the impossibly narrow fairways. The greens were in good shape.

After walking 9 holes, despite paying for 18, I left and don’t plan on ever returning. The surrounding area has plenty of better options for public golf. Simply put, there’s literally no reason to ever play golf here.

Condition of greens were maintained well but fairways were horrible. All grass on the fairway were dried and deadly looking.all above places on the fairways.

I believe this summer was remaining very high temperatures and they was not able to take care all fairways with spring cooler by local restriction or budgets.

There used to be nice condition and to maintain well.

I’m not going to come this course again even though GN deals nice low price for golfing. Maybe I’ll try next year.

I felt that I was playing golf in some desert area such as Texas dried link course.

Hope that good take care of courses for future customers.

Fairways are burnt to a crisp! Very hard to keep balls in play u less you think of it as a links course overseas and play very, very controlled golf. Greens were ok. I guess late on Sunday afternoon they are very short staffed. No starter or ranger.

No irrigation system, the parking lot was softer. Every Tee shot bounced out of bounds for a penalty

First of all I get it, it's been a drought summer and it's impossible to keep courses in prestine condition especially for those lower end muni courses but this course has lost control of the course.

I'm not talking dormant rough or fairway grass but the entire course is burnt grass, concrete hard fairways. To make it worse the course is tight and has severely sloped fairways, hole 2 for example, is the first of the unplayable holes- par 5 with a large hill running down the length of the fairway on the left and the fairway is sloped left to right, all 4 of my playing partners hit the fairway then watched our balls roll into the woods. For giggles I dropped a ball from my pocket into the fairway to see if it would stay and it rolled right off the fairway into the woods. There's about 5/6 holes on the course that are similarly unplayable. The rest you can atleast keep the ball on the course.

This isn't a case of just drought conditions it's bad management, the greens and aprons are so wet that you leave spike marks as you walk and balls embed into the green if hit with low irons.

Ive never written a review for anything but I feel people need to be aware that this course blows. Greens are alright but i literally was able to drop my ball and it came back up to my hand like I was on asphalt when in the fairway of many holes. The firmness of the course along with the hilliness made it not fun.

Course needs sprinklers and some aeration terribly

Horrible conditions, pretty much unplayable. Might as well be a par 3 course because fairways and course layout are an abomination. No kidding.

Older employee sitting at the starters stand was unfriendly and spoke down to us. Really cringy atmosphere, I almost left because of how brutal his attitude was

I’ve had fun playing here in the past - it’s sad. I don’t think I’ll play this golf course ever again.

Layout was awful. Many shots looked great and would rocket sideways into the woods. Burnt to a crisp.

They charge for green fees but it's clear they don't use that money towards upkeep. Its been extremely hot the past month but it looks like the entire course hadn't been watered at all. Tee boxes and fairways were completely dry. Absolutely unacceptable for a "private course". $80 a round for those conditions is laughable.

the course was in very poor condition. Some of the tee boxes were just sand, dirt and crab grass. The fairways are very narrow. With the fairways being rock hard, the ball runs off the fairway often. The greens were remarkably good compared to every other aspect. I t will be years before i consider playing this course again. I was extremely disappointed in its condition.
