Some very tight fairways

The course was in good condition and not very crowded. It was fall so any balls in deep ruff were gone

Tough but fair

Need to play this course a couple of times. Fast greens, blind landing spots. Once you have played it next time around should be easier

This course has soewhat features.

It is not easy course for beginners. Narrow fairways, elevated greens, etc. Watch the woods on the sides in each holes. Packing an extra balls in case is recommended.

Very Tight Layout With A Lot of Blind Shots.

I decided to book a round at this course with co workers because of the reasonable price ($40.00) on a Sunday, midday. We took the hour trip, and if you have never played this course before, you will have no idea where the hole goes and where you need to place your shot. A yardage book would have definitely come in handy. The course seemed dead, as there was hardly any golfers and staff there.

So in conclusion, the golf carts were awful, the course conditions were not terrible,, and it i's easy to get lost on this course. For the price, it really was not a bad day.

Fellow golfers and staff were very friendly. Pace of play was excellent! Tee boxes and greens could use a little repair. Narrow and challenging course

Somers Pointe

Challenging course that is narrow but plays wider than it appears. Hard to judge distances the first time out so a driver may be too much on some holes. Greens get very interesting on final 10 holes.

Course Layout Doesn't Make Sense

Title of my review says it all. A lot of blind shots that frankly don't make sense. This course is one of those where you mostly leave the driver in the bag. Accuracy is rewarded with many narrow fairways. The fairways and greens are in good shape, though. I would say about half the bunkers were in good shape. Greens very fast too!

Sad state

I found the course lacking some tlc. The greens need some repair, probably the worst I've seen this year. Sand traps were very bad on some hole , no sand just hard pan. Sorry I chose this course for my father and son outing for Father's Day. Will not play there again.

Tightest fairways in the land.

This is a great course, but incredibly challenging. They've put a lot of capital into the course in the past year or two and its starting to show. The fairways are narrow and often sloped, either side of which is perhaps a small rough, and then woods. On many of the holes; if you hit the woods, your ball is lost. Most bunkers have been completely redone, prior posts mentioned them as terrible (and they were at the time). Fantastic pro for lessons. Members tend to be older.

Hope they fix it up and price it realistically. It could be a nice place.

Polite staff. Decent greens. Landscaping around the clubhouse, restaurant and parking lot in need of cleanup. Also many of the bunkers in poor condition. Not a good value as is. Hilly, narrow and short.

Tricky Track

Lots of shot positioning needed on this relatively tight course. Bunkers are in poor shape and are supposedly being fixed at the end of this season. Pretty layout and fast greens. Also, nice grill on the 18th green for lunch. I've played here a lot and will be back for more. I'm a 9 hcp btw.

Don't spend your money to play until they spend some of there money to fix it up...

Every sand trap was in very very bad condition , as well were the greens... Cart paths were very bad and a danger to riders. I will not go back ..if I was a member, this would be my last membership until all fixed up... Members now have no bragging rights this year....

Course not in good shape

I was disappointed with Somers West course. The sand traps are in horrible shape and calling them dirt traps is more appropriate. Brown scorched areas to fairway, greens appeared to be moldy. The course has potential and if was in good shape would be a nice course but in the condition it is in now I would not play it again.

Traps unkempt

Overall course was in very good shape, but the traps are 90-95% earth and mostly overgrown with weeds and crabgrass. As luck would have it only landed in one trap where my ball rested atop of clump of crabgrass so it was an easy release.

Too Narrow

I was excited when I arrived because the course looked beautiful and the price was great. However my excitement quickly turned to frustration. The course is simply too narrow and too gimmicky. Lots of 90 degree dog legs and extremely narrow fairways. I lost 12 balls, many of which barely missed the fairway and rolled deep into unkept areas. The greens were challenging and fast and fun to play on. I would not return.
