Somers National Golf Club

This course was not enjoyable to play on. Greens were horrible, fairways were average and way overpriced

I had a a good round considering but will never play here again!

Several holes are having their tee boxes redone, so we teed off from the fairway on some holes. For example, there was a 200 yard par 4 on the back nine. Also, the greens are in very poor shape. Should be nicer next spring, but right now if you can't get a discounted rate I would play elsewhere.

Very narrow course, so make sure you have extra balls. Not a lot of sand but definitely more water than usual. Seems like they are doing some construction but it doesn’t change much.

I’m blown away by how terrible this place has come become. An older man greeted me by telling me as soon as I pulled up with a cooler that it’s not permitted. I asked if a cart person would serve us then? I was told no. I had a sandwich and water in my cooler mind you. I was told to buy from refreshments at the clubhouse before I left for my round. (Never had an issue before and still buy from a cart person). I felt as if I was being challenged by this man before I even got in my cart. He was questioning everything after we bought balls from “his” clubhouse. This place is lucky to have people spend money here being that it’s subpar to other Westchester courses. Never again !!!!

Do not recommend this course for beginners. While the course isn't particularly long, you need to be very accurate with mid-long irons in order to shoot respectable scores. However, this is a great course to practice iron accuracy and would be a good test for even the best of golfers.

The layout definitely suits single-digit handicappers and the fairways are extremely tight with OB coming into play on almost every hole. You will not enjoy playing here if you're having an off day and you'll likely go through 10-15 balls.

I was very surprised at how fast the fairways were which certainly made things a little easier as you could bank on getting an extra 15-20 yards with run. For this time of the year, it was certainly a pleasant surprise as to how hard the fairways were.

The greens were a bit of a nightmare. They were very quick but I felt there weren't true a lot of the time which was frustrating. They may have been aerated recently which might explain it but you could rarely trust the read/break. Getting putts slightly wrong (particularly downhill) resulted in fair-good putts rolling anywhere from 5-10 feet passed the hole.

You can rarely use driver, even on the par 5's which made things even more challenging as there are a couple of par 5's over 500 yards, so without driver, you're struggling to make the green inside three shots. This was one of my favorite parts of the course, as again, you need to be on your game and concentrating on accuracy as distance doesn't provide much assistance.

The pace of play was very poor which was a disappointment. We even had to call the starter after a few holes because the pace of play seemingly wasn't impressed upon people, which led to a lot of waiting around on the tee box.

I'd love to play this course during peak summer months to get a feel for real conditions and I would certainly recommend the course to have a practice round if you're getting ready for a tournament. But certainly not a course I'd recommend for beginners/if you want to have a fun round.

Enjoyed the course and the amenities even if the pace of play was slow. The course presents a lot of interesting challenges like big dog legs and hilly terrain as well as dog legs on hilly terrain.

Great layout tough design only needed my driver 2 times. Loved the course I will play it again
