Where's The water

Course is nice, won't water course, except when it rains. Ball runs forever. Ponds covered with algae. No water in ball cleaners,so bring something to clean balls. Moves white tees up on weekends to try and speed up play, so not a true handicap. Friendly people.

A go to course for the intermediate player

This was my first time playing the course. I was a few minutes late for my tee time, but the staff was gracious about it. The course plays deceptively long, especially from the blue tee boxes. It was a nice challenge.
The course was a little soggy in places, but we had quite a bit of rain the week before. Can't blame the course for the weather. I walked 9 and the sogginess didn't impact my play.
The greens were above average for the area. The fairways felt tight on a few holes as they were framed by mature trees along both sides. It added to the challenge. I would definitely go again.

Cart no cart that’s the question

Car paths do not go to all the holes so when it rains, it’s walking only

First Time Playing

First time playing Paltz golf course.

Ground was like concrete. Balls bounced 12 plus feet high even on greens. We had a very hard time putting a tee in the ground. We were behind first time players were were brutally slow, no course etiquette. Stayed to eat at the restaurant and enjoyed the view after golf. The lady who worked the front desk was very nice.

Solid 9 hole course

Nice layout on this course. Greens were in great shape and are pretty tough. Only downfall were the length of the grass on the tee boxes and fairways. Definitely not cut low enough there, but again the greens were in really good shape so that makes it worth it to play this course.
