Somers National Golf Club

Prior to this round the course showed wear and tear due to lack of irrigation; recent rainfalls helped get it back to decent playing condition; today’s round was in the afternoon and the course was very open and the pace of play was good; it is basically a challenging course that meanders thru condos and it has lots of challenges, for the typical amateur.

Nice course. But it needs a lot work for the fairways and tee boxes. Fairways are very narrow. Green is pretty fast and hard to read in my opinion.

My first time at Somers National and didn’t know what to expect. The site focuses on the fact the course is well above sea level. I know understand why! This very short course is filled with narrow chutes with massive elevation changes. Up and down hills that resemble ski trails. Some unique holes including a horseshoe par 5. Overall I recommend the course to anyone who has 5 hours to spare! Leave your driver in the bag with small exceptions. Many holes require an accurate 200 ball. So expect a shot maker course as opposed to letting it fly!

I needed a place to golf in Westchester County that I hadn’t played before because I was staying over my mom’s place in Yonkers. Found Somers National Golf Club and from the name, location and hearing from an online buddy learned that it used to be private, so I figured this was a good spot to play.

Greeted wonderfully from the cart guy at the bag drop and the guy in the Pro Shop couldn’t be nicer. Then I learned that my driver probably wouldn’t be needed today because the course was narrow with lots dog legs.

I can’t remember the last time I was forced to hit an iron off the tee on every par 5 hole if ever. I hit driver once on the front 9 and once again on the back 9 and neither time did I really have to. Great spot to work on your mid to long iron game.

The carts have a touchscreen GPS which was nice because you can’t play this course blind. Being able to know the distance to the beginning and end the doglegs or end of fairway is a must.

The course has seen better days with the poor conditions, but with a little TLC (and some money), this course can be a gem again being just an hour from NYC. Tee boxes and sections of fairways need reseeding and the traps need sand in them.

Conceptually interesting, however, the experience proves quite frustrating. Extreme pitches, narrow landing areas, more than half the tee shots are blind. It's really an iron only track which is fine however the green fees suggest you'll be using every club in your bag.

Its pretty and the staff is very friendly. The extreme pitch of most of the fairways as well as the greens just makes it a real test of patience.

Pretty course good condition.Need accuracy to score well.Like the fact that not to many adjacent holes.Feel like no one else is there,very peaceful and serene

Difficult course if you have any missed hits. Narrow fairways. Lots of burnouts on t boxes and fairways

I had the opportunity to play Somers for the third time and what a difference a year can make! The course was in great shape and you can really see the improvement over the last year. The course has a unique layout, making it challenging for any level of player. The staff was very helpful and friendly and it made my experience that much better. I look forward to playing the course again!

Tees - 2/5

Fairways - 3/5

Greens - 3.5/5

Bunkers - 3/5 (some bunkers were actually great, others were terrible)

Who are these people giving this place 5 stars? This is a 2-3 star course on a very, very good day. Just a terrible layout. Looks like they are trying to fix it up a bit. But nothing that I could imagine would be able to fix this place and make it worth anyone’s time to play it. Spend 15 extra bucks and play someplace else. Move along... nothing to see here.

Love this course. Makes you think about where to land for your next shot.

Playing music from the golf cart is great!

Great staff. Front A-Z. New owner doing the right things to make the course better and challenging.

Staff was friendly. I left one of my clubs at a hole. It was waiting for me when I left. Cart path only is a bit rough. Hot deal and twilight prices are legit. Beautiful and challenging. Would go back.

Good course, many holes require you to shape your shots around the hills. If you have a certain shot that doesn't go with the hole-you will struggle. Greens were good, about medium speed. Got out quick, paired with a double. Average round speed-due to me having to look for a couple of errant shots. Some of the carts paths were a bit bumpy, but no real complaints. I'd play again.

I played Somers with a couple of friends last week. The course was in great shape and the pace of play was never an issue. When the course opens up by the pond it is challenging and very fun. I would definitely recommend playing here.

We enjoyed our round of golf at Somers National. The course was in very good shape, pace of play was good, but the cart paths need a lot of attention.

I have played Somers twice and had a great experience each time. The course was in great shape and rate of play was quick. The carts are brand new, equipped with touchscreen monitors for updated yardages as you move. Staff was very nice - the owner even stopped by and chatted with us as we sat on the outdoor patio by the 18th green after we finished our round. Overall, I would definitely recommend teeing it up at Somers if you’re looking for a nice place to play.
