Somers National Golf Club

2nd time playing there recently. Course still needs some TLC and staff was out doing work and seeding today, Really enjoy this layout. No 2 holes alike, with lots of hills, and elevated tee boxes and greens. Tight fairways and enough water to add additional challenges. Been walking the course....great if you’re looking for a workout

The course itself is really a lot of fun: narrow in most places, lots of severe doglegs that put a premium on shot placement, a lot of variety in hole design. Don’t expect to walk on the course for the first time and shoot a low number. I think after I play it a few more times the layout will be even more interesting. Those are the pros.

The cons are that the course really needs work in conditions of the fairways, a few greens and almost every tee box. There are too many bare spots to overlook and the tee boxes were simply awful.

If you are looking for lush and plush, you will be disappointed.

But in comparison to other public courses ( although it’s a semi private club) I would definitely come back and play it again, as long as it was priced at the same as the Westchester County courses. But I wouldn’t pay more than that.

The staff was nice, and the amenities were closed, and looked average to good but not spectacular.

If you get a decent price, definitely play, it will hold your interest. But buyer beware.

First time there. Great pace, hilly course, interesting layout. Fairways and Tee boxes need some attention, but overall nice course. Price today $55....next week popping up to $75. Not sure it’s worth that price until some upkeep done.

Played this course in mid March and walked. The course has a nice lay out, some narrow fairways, and a few elevation changes which made the course challenging. The course played as expected for this time of year under winter conditions. The staff was friendly, pace of play was average.

Course is well-maintained and in good condition, they removed a lot of trees to open up Some fairways, I will be going back very soon.

Thanks

Wonderful golf course and it ain't easy! If I lived closer I would become a member!

Great value. Be ready to eat humble pie. Extremely difficult course. Groundskeeper does not enjoy parks. Birdies are a fantasy.

Booked an 828 tee time early in the week. Rain was in the forecast all day. Received my confirmation email from Golfnow at 630am, called at 645, 7 and 730 to confirm the course was open, but no answer. Was informed of course closure upon my arrival. A notification or message of closure on your phone system would be nice.

Course has been in better shape some years back.

I suppose new ownership is the difference .

A big improvement would be straightening out the cart path so you wouldn't need to tie yourself down from hole to hole .

Still a decent deal on golf now .

This course is absolutely gorgeous. The layout is perfect and very challenging. The value you aren't going to find a better course. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. Can't wait to play this course again!

Course showed the effect of not enough rain; there were bare patches that were dusty and hard pan; most of the tees were in good condition, some tee were very beat up, greens overall were good, I’ve played this course many times and I’m familiar with the challenges -doglegs and narrow fairways, but it is playable if you use less club and stay out of trouble.

I want to love this course. The layout is fantastic. Every hole is different. Not crazy long, but narrow and requires accuracy. A few years ago I used to play all the time and it was always fun.

But it is in such bad shape. It looked like they just finished marching band practice. Most of the fairways are bare dried mud. Makes me sad.

Loved playing a round at this course. The greens were fast despite them being wet. The layout is great. Staff was friendly, complimented my shoes! Lol although i played pretty bad, i loved this challenging course. I plan to come back!

It took my wife and myself quite a while to play the front nine behind a slow threesome. At the turn we complained to the pro at the desk. He did everything he could to make our experience from that point on great. Later on, the owner, came by to make sure everything was okay with us and offered us refreshments on the house.

Wow!!

I was just contacted now some 4 months after I played which was back in June to review this Course

It is now mid-October

I used to love this place because I could play there mid week and getting out on the course when it was quiet even if I was late getting there was never a problem. I live an hour away.

New management policy will not honor your GolfNow Hot Deal unless you are there exactly on time..If the course is busy that is understandable. However when I go in the aftternoon mid week I practically have the whole course to myself.

Therefore if management wants to disqualify your Hot Deal when the cousse is empty then they should not participate in the Hot Deal program.

It's as if they are resentful of not getting you to pay their $45 after 4pm rate during the week. For that money there are much better courses nearer to me.

Course was very dry and several fairways had large patches of bare hard pan dirt; ; several tee boxes were beaten up and some didn’t have grass; fairways and greens were in decent condition; overall the conditions were a distraction which made it harder to play on this challenging course.
