Somers National Golf Club

I booked a tee time at Somers Pointe West for July 4th a few days prior. When I arrived, I was told that the members had an outing that day. There were three other singles who also booked a time through Golfnow. We were told that the head pro there failed to check these times. They were very apologetic about it and were able to accommodate us anyhow. They started us off on the first hole, and just before we were able to putt out on the green, a staff person had come up behind us and asked us to please pick up our balls and follow him to the 10th tee because members from the outing were coming up on us. This was somewhat of an inconvenience (especially since I had a 10 foot birdie putt awaiting me!) We ran into a foursome in front of us on the 10th hole that were very slow. After a few holes of waiting on them, they allowed us to play through. We did not find the course to be in good shape at all. The tee boxes were not level. The ball was always either above or below your feet on the tee. The fairways were not mowed at all. It felt like playing out of the first cut of rough at times. The bunkers were hard as cement and not raked. The course was not marked well at all. It was very difficult to find yardage markers, and they only had the 150 or 100 markers out there. The only thing I did like about this course, were the greens. Lastly, we were unable to use the bathroom facilities because we did not know the combinations to get in. I suppose that only members are allowed in, and if that is the case, then don't offer tee times for the general public through Golfnow.com. Would I recommend this course to anyone? Not to anyone that appreciates the great game of golf.

I wrote a review twice for this course, but Golfnow has yet to publish it. I feel that only positive reviews are being posted for this course.

The course was ok, but too many blind shots. Plus my car was damaged in the parking lot with no security cameras. I have to pay for bumper damage because someone in the lot did not know how to drive.

great course . Have to think about clubs to use. Fairways are tight on holes which requires putting tee shot in play.
holes open up . 12 13 and 14 are great viewing holes.
price was worth it.

Is hard to keep the ball in fairway on some tee shots .

Somers Pointe is only 10 minutes from Rt 684. Beautiful club house with every convenience. Course is in excellent condition and enough of a challenge for players of every level. Rivals features found at private clubs. With the advantage of finding discounts through Golf now - it is not to be missed!
