Dissapointed

I heard lots of great things about this course. Needless to say I was disappointed. As I drove through a townhouse complex, I was sure I was going the wrong way, but sure enough my GPS was right, as always. Pulling up to parking lot and club house had me questioning if I was in the right place. It was a gorgeous 80 degrees and the lot was pretty empty. Hole after hole, I began to see why. With very narrow fairways and super hilly holes, rocky lies and bumpy cart baths, dry-patched greens and very slow play, it’s not a course I’ll be going back to. There were a few decent holes and the price was good, but I’d rather pay the $10-20 more for a far better course. I give this course a 3 out if 5.

You Get What You Pay For

The Tee Boxes and Greens are, for the most part, terrible. The fairways are, for the most part, pretty well maintained. This is a relatively challenging course, with only two or three blind shots, but plenty of doglegs, uphill greens, narrow fairways and bunkers protecting greens and fairway landing areas. We paid $27 for the round, and they charge $10 total for a cart. So for the price, I feel the sandy tee boxes and burnt out greens are worth the price. I would not pay any more than $32 for a round however. I do wish they would charge $50 per round and fix the tee boxes and greens, but as it stands I think it's worth the price.

Hit It Straight

Challenging layout winding through Heritage Hills Community in Somers. Demands straight drives - wayward shots will be lost. Fair amount of elevation changes and small water hazards. Walking is a real workout. Fairways were a little burned out from the hot August weather. All-in-all, good value course for the money.

Embarrassed to call this a goof course

Booked a tee time online the week before. We saw that it was a walking only rate, so we immediately called the course to confirm that we can get a cart upon arrival. We were told that all we needed to do was pay 15 dollars each and we can get a cart. That being said we kept our tee time.

Now the fun begins. We show up to the course to be told that there is a good chance they won’t have golf carts available for my group. Not only did the pro shop conform that carts would be available they never told us that they had limited amount of carts when we asked. This would have been nice to know prior.

Now that we got our carts, the carts are broken. Our GPS broke before we even teed off, luckily we were able to get a new cart. The group in front of us had a cart die on the second hole!!!

Now for the course. I have never seen such little effort put in to maintain a golf course. Tee boxes were more like sand boxes, and unfortunately I can’t even call the greens, greens. More like browns. The entire green was just dead mush.

The fairway and rough were all dead, there were barely any cart paths, it was just an overall terrible experience.

This course needs ALOT of work done to it for it to be considered playable. It takes effort for a golf course to be in this bad of shape.

The layout of the course has potential to be a difficult course, but I think the hardest part about the course was finding something to like.

Unfortunately the best parts of the round was watching my friend enjoy his snickers bar waiting to tee off on 10, and getting in my car to drive home.

Tough Shape

Course in rough condition, pace of play slow and not managed to combine twosomes. A lot of blind tee shots and a ton of dogleg. Solid tiki bar at the turn.

Fantastic Course and Staff

We had a fantastic round at Somers National. The course was in wonderful condition and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Our experience was a extremely pleasant and I highly recommend it to anyone in Westchester / Putnam county.

Course has potential yet not well maintained

For a busy Saturday the pace was great, the holes were challenging yet for the fees we thought the greens should have been in better shape.

Challenging course, poor conditions

Somers has narrow, tree-lined fairways with a lot of dog legs. The course requires playing smart because you can't really cut the dog-legs due to the trees.

The staff was very friendly and the clubhouse / restaurant was very nice.

A majority of the tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in need of a lot of attention and maintenance.

Very Friendly Staff

This course was probably a little (more like a lot) too difficult for our foursome of beginner to moderate players, but the multiple staff members we interacted with were all very friendly. We walked the course, knowing it was going to be difficult, and it was, but at least we got a lot of exercise. The pace of play was perfect as we never waited to tee off and the group behind us was always a good distance away. Some of the tee boxes and greens could've used a little maintenance but weren't terrible. We hit a few balls at the driving range before which is always a plus. With a little more experience and a cart, I would definitely recommend this course. All of the holes have a unique feel to them, and it's definitely worth playing!

Tough course but not in great shape

Somers is a challenging course. It is a narrow, tree-lined fairways with more than usual dog-leg holes that requires smart club choices. The greens are very tricky as well. The staff are extremely friendly and the clubhouse / restaurant are very nice. Will definitely come back and would recommend.

The course wasn't in great shape. A majority of greens and fairways had patches of either dead or diseased spots.

Greens were worst I’ve ever seen

Comically bad greens. Layout is a dogleg every hole and can’t cut most of them due to trees. People were friendly but the condition of some of the greens on the first 9 holes are horrible.

Poor conditions on course, unique layout

Really poor conditions. Tee boxes were chewed, no green in sight. Fairways equally bad. Just not a good course. The staff was cool, and appears the front of house is ok. But not worth it, the course flat out was horrible.

No cart with refreshments

They did not let us take our cooler and there was no one on the course with a cart to provide any refreshments or beverages. Will not go back also because its unnecessarily really tough. Narrow with slanting fairways makes it very hard for average golfers.
