Tough pin placement, easier tee box locations

Post aerated conditions but the course is otherwise well maintained.

Unlucky date

The course is a good course, but after some powerful rains 2 days before, the course was in rough shape. Bunkers were flooded, the course was very wet, so no roll. The greens were a mess. Every shot left a huge ball mark and some players are slobs about fixing theirs. They hadn't mowed, so they were shaggy, slow and the ball bounced and moved unpredictably. Definitely added strokes.

My 'HOME' course...

I worked here as a teenager. It's in great shape. Weekend rounds can be marathons, but if you catch the right day, it's a great layout. Interesting mix of long and short - especially if you choose the longer tees - elevation changes and modest hazards. Contoured greens that are well established will challenge you after a fresh cut.

They overbooked the course - 5+ hour round

Nice course but poorly managed. Conveniently located near the Taconic Parkway, it's easy to get there and find.

Response from on 09/26/2017:
Thank you for your honest feedback, We're sorry to hear that your latest visit was less than pleasant. We have been extremely busy with this beautiful late-season weather, and we know our reputation for being an easy walk-on course with a fast pace of play can draw crowds. The rangers are instructed to focus on the key areas to speed up the pace of play, so sometimes if you don't see them, your group is just not causing any problems. We keep records which we review as a team, and our slowest group played in 5 hours 20 mins, which is over our target time here at Beekman so we do apologize and are working to continuously improve.

Great vacation course

I had played the Bigfork Lake course and at almost half the price, this place was awesome. Lots of doglegs and blind shots, so a handheld GPS was extremely helpful. The course had hidden water, elevation changes, mostly dogleg lefts, and some straight and narrow fairways. I really enjoyed it. It being an old course, the greens are settled and shaped with much contour.

One of the best courses in the region - worth the trip!

I had a 2pm tee time, got there early and was told to go off any time I'm ready. I played alone and finished in 3 1/2 hours! The course is gorgeous, through the woods on the first 9, and like playing in Florida (except for the Hudson River Views) on the back 9.

Also, about 5 miles south is The Stadium restaurant, with one of the foremost sports memorabilia collections on the planet. Great for a 19th hole!

Aerated, but swept sand - on the back 9

Love this course, but they had alot of rain, so the traps were concrete, the rough was... rough, and they had just aerated the back 9, and though they sanded the greens, they were bumpy and chaotic.

Always take an opportunity to play this course, regardless. It has views of the Hudson River Valley, and can be a great value on Golfnow!

Great conditions, fast round

I hadn't played here in awhile, they did some renovations to the facilities and it has great potential. The course was immaculate, greens were fast and true, fairways excellent, rough not too deep. Great course to play on weekdays!
