Good Conditions, Challenging Layout

Where to begin... This course kind of ate me alive. I was impressed with the conditions for the most part, but some greens were patchy with some type of fungus on them (18th for example). The $30 GolfNow deal was excellent for this country club with few rounds per day, good service, good practice facilities, and good conditions that are much better than Westchester's crowded county courses.

Pros: great conditions; free range balls and balls for chipping/putting; good value for the $$$; not crowded at all; course layout is not boring by any means.

Cons: this is a difficult course unless you hit very straight and accurate shots. If you like to work the ball and play by feel, you will have difficulty playing the way you want to. Many holes are tight with woods and hazards guarding both sides of the fairways. Many holes are also ridiculous doglegs, double-doglegs, and believe it or not-- one is horseshoe-shaped. Lots of blind shots will leave you frustrated. BEWARE THE #1 AND #2 HANDICAPPED HOLES. If you can get away with bogeys on these two, you will muster a good round. Also, some of the greens aren't in the best shape, but the balls roll true for the most part.

To sum it up, definitely try it. But don't expect a good score the first time out.

Great Course

Found course to be in excellent condition. Very well maintained. Altough not the longest course, it is very challenging because it is definately a shot makers course. Well worth the money.

Challenging Hilly Course

Course plays about 6000 yards from white tees. Lots of doglegs, heavily wooded, narrow fairways and lots of hills, requiring concise shots. Greens are pretty fast but not too difficult to read. Course was not busy when I played, and able to finish in under 3 1/2 hours.

Hidden Gem

This course was new to GolfNow and a group of us decided to try it. It was absolutely great! The weather was perfect, the course in great condition all around - fairways and tee boxes well maintained, greens seem to have spots with some sort of disease on the grass but rolled fast and were challenging. There were other players on the course but all moving well and at times it even felt that we had the course to ourselves. Finished the round in a little over 4 hours. Will be back and definitely recommend to others. It is an excellent course with plenty of challenges and beautiful surroundings.

Nice course

Plenty of water

Greens were a bit mossy, and bunkers were muddy, but fairways were good in spite of recent rain

Tight and Interesting Course

This course was built with many holes that thread their way through a hilly residential development so many holes would be considered tight. Considering the soaking rains of the previous 2 days drainage seemed good. If you like playing in the afternoon after 1:30pm player traffic is light I was told and indeed playing alone I was able to complete 18 holes in slightly over 3 hours. I began at 3:30 and was done by about 6:30

Unexpected

This course was tough to find when entered in the GPS. Luckily, a cop helped me find the course. As for the course, being from Dutchess County, I was expecting a course in Westchester to be much better than this course. When we first hopped in our cart, we had no idea where the first tee box was. The difficulty of the course was true to its description on the website. Hard! Not a bad course, we were just expecting more. Had a great time still!

Very pleasantly surprised

Am probably a little "golf snobby" and expected little from this course having lived in Westchester Co for 30 years and never played it until today. It is short and quirky with really interesting greens. It is fun! The course offers many opportunities to score well, but penalizes indifferent shots. Fairways appear to be narrow, but in fact are more generous than they appear. The course is all about the greens and where you place approach shots. Putting is at a premium

Solid Course for $35 or less

Played here on a hot deal for $25. Course was in pretty good shape considering how late in the season it is. A few greens were beat up but the majority were very good and actually sort of fast. Course is extremely hilly and on the short side. I'd give the course a better review but there is a par 5 on the back that doesn't even qualify as a golf hole to me. The landing area off the tee shot is about 20 paces wide... very "tricked" out hole. Area is very scenic and staff was nice. Bar didn't have hot chocolate which was weird considering the time of year.

Very nice golf course with nice view and challenges

Nice layout, Some very narrow fairway and a few blind uphill shots, various elevation and some water. A few brown, dry spots on some green around the edges, other than that it's excellent.

Great course for the money... Tough greens

Really enjoyed playing here. Quick pace of play, well kept and the views are great. It's moderately challenging, however the greens make it a very difficult course. They're quick and have LOTS of break.

Definitely recommend playing here.

A real challenge, tight fairways, must really think your way around the course.

My playing partner and I were totally eaten up by the course. Lots of dog legs, changes in elevation, fast greens, blind shots, tight fairways a real challenge. I am a 13 handicap and shot a 107, ouch!! I am going back to get even with this course. If you want a challenging course I highly recommend it.

Interesting layout. Requires good accuracy. A lot of sharp doglegs. Difficult for someone like me playing the course for the first time.

Get rid of those leaves

All the nice things kept me coming back, but this time, tree leaves were all over - on the fairway and greens, especially in the back nine made it very frustrating.
