Worth the Trip!

We took the 2 hour drive to play because of a fantastic replay rate and lunch special. The course was outstanding with beautiful views. There are many challenging tee shots, so you have to be on your game. Bring a golf app to know your yardages to hazards. The course was in excellent condition. The only complaint I had was one employee. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating, except for one clown. There were two foursomes on the first tee so the starter kindly gave us the option of starting on the 3rd hole as we were a fast twosome. Upon coming back around to play holes 1 and 2, some guy comes screaming and yelling at us that we were trying to play extra holes. We explained the situation and he shakes his head and goes storming off. Then screams at us we better only play 2 holes. He acted like a complete jerk. He put a damper on a really nice day. But overall it was a great trip besides the one nasty employee.

DanKnows

Very challenging course with lots of water and fast breaking greens. 14 of 18 holes have water hazards so bring extra balls. You better be in good shape if your going to walk this course. Lots of hills and some long walks from green to tee. If your not an advanced golfer bring a positive attitude cause your gonna shoot some high numbers. Great views and a really nice course. Watch out for bear on hole 12!!!!! Lol

A Gem in the Mountains

Beautiful Views coupled with Great Conditions.

The course plays longer than on the card. Need to know the course as there are few straight targets. Greens are running fast and many are crowned. All of this makes the course play more challenging than you might think. Its a beauty in my book.

Nice course

Got a good deal from Golfnow. Have to start at no.5 since clubhouse is still non existent. Don't be fooled by the short yardage on the scorecard..plays quite longer with many uphill tee shots and elevated greens. Many blind shots and dogleg holes..need to know where to hit those tee shots. Course in good condition, greens are undulating and sometimes quite fast. Par 5's are short and are good opportunity to score with a good tee and second shots

Enjoy a Day of Golf in the Cradle of History

Challenging hilly course with a military history theme. Currently under renovation. You start on hole five and finish on hole 4. Needs a new clubhouse but the grilled chicken sandwich and fries were more than fine. Courteous and helpful beer cart girl made several passes. Golf is great on this scenic course.

Great shape

The course was surprisingly green despite the dry summer. The improvements since I played there 40 years ago have made a huge difference aesthetically and added to the course.

Beautiful scenery

The course is a wonderful track routed through the rough upstate NY mountains resulting in inspiring scenic views and significant elevation changes. This course is challenging - chose your tee boxes carefully! I will return.

I love this course.

West Point is an awesome golf course. Each hole is different, and it has character. The length is not the issue here, but it's a very hilly and somewhat tight track.

The best part about this course is that it is very scenic and the course conditions are absolutely perfect. Nicely groomed fairways, the tee boxes were in good shape, the bunkers had nice fluffy sand in them, and the greens were just perfect.

The staff is very nice, and just a heads up, you start on hole 5.

Very enjoyable day even if my play was not.

The course is hilly and a challenge. The greens were the fastest I've seen at this course in more than 10 years. The greens are also hilly and most have severe slopes, and with the speed, made it difficult to stay close.

There were a good number of golfers this day, and the pace was slower than usual, about 4 3/4 hrs. Usually its around 4 - 4 1/4 hrs.

Still, great views of the Hudson hills from a lot of holes, which gives you an upstate experience.

strange situation

Because of the work being done on the clubhouse, you start on hole #5. No Problem. But when I got to the 10 th hole, someone was starting there. Then when I got to the 18th hole, there were 2 groups getting ready to start there. Had to skip around 3 holes to maintain pace.

Booking Confusion

I booked a twosome through Golfnow (great price w cart) for Friday noon. Problem was there was no coordination between GolfNow and the Clubhouse and so my name was not on the starter's list. Same thing with the other twosome that was paired with us. The Starter still managed to get us out a few minutes later but you can understand there were more golfers out and so we had to wait almost every hole,

On the other hand, the course was in very fine shape! For this season, they start everybody on Hole No 5 where the temporary proshop is located and finish with the 4th hole. Greens were as I remembered with unpredictable breaks and tight fairways. Its worth playing!
