The course has a very nice layout, although the greens were very slow. I would guess about a 6 on the stint meter. We started playing at 1:20 and finished at 6:42, almost a year 5 and a half hour round just too slow. Other than those two issues, it's a nice course if you can manage to play it in a reasonable amount of time.

great course great lay out and great people. Loved it

Since this is a municipal course, you get treated as such. The roughs and around greens and traps are rarely mowed. Hit the ball 6" off the fairway and you're in 4 to 6 inches of grass, Just miss the fairway bunker, still in 4 to 6 inches of grass.Hitting out of the bunker is easier than just missing it. Plan on spending time searching for your ball. The conditions off the fairways and greens are U.S. Open caliber. Of course there is no second cut on the fairways. That said, the fairways and green are in very good condition which is the only positive.

They claim that they are short staffed and that's why the roughs need serious mowing.

Plan on adding 4 to 6 strokes to your score unless you are 14 for 14 on fairway hit.

If you play from the whites, there are no flat tee boxes anywhere. Its a search to find a spot on the tee where your feet are not above or below the ball.

The course has not been renovated in over 30 years except for repairing a few of the cart paths

This is an expensive course for non-residents of the town and there are better (and cheaper) alternatives within a 10 minute drive

The course is challenging and in good condition. The rough is VERY tough. Unfortunately, some of the players don't repair ball marks in greens, but this is a minor inconvenience. I would be happy to play there again.

I used to live in Rockland County and within 10 minutes of this course. I leaned to play golf at Spook Rock and was my home course which I played frequently for years. One of the best ranked town courses for years in the U.S.

Fun layout and even moving from the whites to the tips made it a different experience. Hitting over the water on 6....far enough to make the uphill dogleg on 9....the gong on 11....the par 3 13th and 18 is a great finishing hole.

Course was in great shape, greens mix of fast & slow slight rain throughout round. Played as threesome at 4 hours hour pace. Drive from Brooklyn only unbearable in New York City, arrived at course greeted by friendly & courteous staff. Fairways looked good from the woods, lol, played from the whites, challenging enough for our group, wished I was a better player, this is a course that I would play a lot.

hadn't played here in 4 years or so, but remembered all the holes....Basically a course that you can play well on if you can drive the ball and avoid the rough/traps. Greens were a little slow for my liking otherwise I would have given the course a better rating. Some greens are really large and some are not, so you have to pay attention. Good course for a better player IMO.

Golf now gave the opportunity for us to play a very inexpensive round though the note was recent aerated greens. To our amazement they were in great shape. Loved the course layout and only complaint was the rough was ruff! Too long in many places. Looked like the maintenance people didn't finish all the cutting chores especially under and around trees.

Very nice public golf course . not too far a drive. Challenging from all tees. Rough a bit to high thus slowing pace of place. Greens not in great shape.

Played this course twice, each time I play it, it gets more. Prestine as time goes on.i would recommen

I PLAYED ON A COLD DAY OVERCAST AND VERY FEW PEOPLE PLAYING THAT DAY. THE STAFF WAS VERY PLEASANT AND THE COURSE WAS IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION BUT AS FAR AS DECEMBER PLAY VERY GOOD CONDITION. 30.00 W/CART ON THIS COURSE WAS AWESOME.

Enjoyable layout. A fair test of golf. Superb greens. A must play for the NYC Metro golfer.

Haven't played this course in years, but good value from Golf Now. Greens, fairways and tee boxes in very good condition. Fairly narrow fairways in spots make driver accuracy important. Fun course to play. Look forward to playing again before the real cold weather arrives.

I wish my town had a public course as nice as this. Got a chance to play there for a real bargain price that I found on GOLFNOW. Usual price $75. I paid $40 for a 12:06 tee time with a drive cart. Also enjoyed the company of some fellow Rockland County people who I paired up with there. Best county in New York State.

Great course had my second career eagle on hole 11 par 5 course in great shape best course in rockland county

Comparable to Patriot Hills in terms of quality, but in better condition and closer to Manhattan. Greens are in particularly good shape. Not a hugely difficult course, but plays long off all the tees.

For the intermediate player with a 24 handicap; the fairway grass first cut is way too long. Lost balls or exceptionally long search times for balls just a few feet off the fairway. You are penalized unnecessarily for a shot close to the fairway or green.
First cut around greens 4" or 5"...way too long. This causes again long search times and delays in playing time. Using a 58 degree wedge for shots approx. 3ft off the green is almost necessary on every green.

It seems the course is punishing you excessively for shots just off the fairway or greens. I would expect this length of grass to be at he second cut at least.

I would NOT play this course in the FAll as the leaf cover and grass depth would cause 6hr rounds! and a dozen balls!

Please don't tell me that every shot should be in the short grass or on the green. I don't carry a Tour card ..I am just a guy who plays 50 - 60 rounds a year for pure enjoyment.

Played with my Son and were matched with a wonderful local couple. Really enjoyed playing on a beautiful mature course.A very nice layout.
