Nestled in the Lower Hudson Valley, Putnam County Golf Course enjoys a scenic location amid rolling hills yet it’s not too far from the city. Formerly known as Putnam National, the club was originally opened as a private club in 1959, it opened to the public when it was bought by the county in 2004 but it continues to offer the quality and amenities of a private country club. The golf course has front and back nines that are completely different from one another so be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag. Water hazards only come into play on two holes but don’t let that fool you, this course is formidable even for avid golfers. Putnam County Golf Course's final four holes are an especially challenging stretch that will test you with everything from uphill lies to a slew of strategically placed bunkers.

Only problem was that the starter needs an attitude adjustment in friendliness

Slow players took long hours to finish 18 holes.
Anyhow, the golf course was well maintained greens and fairways. If there is another hot deal on GolfNow, I will come again.

Nice day at Putnam County

It's a fun track. Some interesting greens. Greens were in great shape and ran very smooth. A bit on the fast side. We got out as a twosome at 10am - with foursomes in front and in back. Finished in 4:15 but felt slower waiting each hole - but we were a twosome behind a foursome. Cart girl was present. Willing to play there again.
