Somers National Golf Club

I have been playing this course for years. It’s rare when there isn’t any pace of play issues. The course is definitely in much better shape than previously. The new owners seem to be doing a good job.

Yesterday my dad and I were waiting almost 15 minutes per hole for this group of 4 old ladies to play in front of us. We then ran into another group of 3 who were playing very slow. My dad and I aren’t fast golfers but this course needs to adjust their 10 minute spread between tee times if their clients cannot keep up with pace of play. I’d rather go play other courses in the area that aren’t as nice if it means keeping a consistent and decent pace of play. It took almost a for the foursome in front of us to play hole 2 & 3. We skipped hole 4 to go to hole 5 just so we could get ahead of them.

This is one of the most expensive courses in this area. For the price you will be better off playing any other course. The course was layout was flipped (hole 1 became 10 vice versa), there were no pictures of the hole layout at any hole, scorecards did not have hole layouts. For a lot of the course if you have never played before you are flying blind. You can pay $20 less and have much better amenities at any other course in the area.

They were somehow challenging.
They had nice view.
But their staff was no good to Hot deal's user.

Wonderful course, especially for fall golf! Tight fairways with some scoring opportunity holes throughout. Challenging the whole way, but not over challenging. Extremely fun course with beautiful views down the fairways.

Like the non crowded feel of course , location and availability of tee times good for me. Course is as good as any. Must be very good player to score well . Can’t be obcessed with score to enjoy this course

It’s one thing for a shorter, hilly course to be tight, and there are a bunch of tight courses around Northern Westchester, but Somers was comically right to the point of almost unplayable. Other than some brown spots, the greens were rolling, but then pins were on side hills.

Not sure how you fix the too right problem, but I think there’s a lot of brush/bushes that could be cleared out between holes which would help.

Unlikely to return.

I played the course twice in 1 week because the course layout is exceptional. The greens are rolling nice and super quick, also the fairways and rough are plush. The tee boxes need a little TLC and need to be leveled. One of my problems with playing there is the staff. The starter really needed an attitude adjustment, if you speak to me in a condescending manner and tone, you will get it back ten times worse. Rushing me at the turn was unnecessary, especially as the course was not full and if the course had a ranger, then this individual would have seen, we were not slowing up play. Which brings me to my other concern, the 2 days I played there, they wasn't a ranger in sight and the group in front of us was holding everyone up from the 7th hole through to the 18th.
One last thing, why would there only be 2 things to eat on the menu, hotdogs and a cold buffalo chicken wrap. I asked for the wrap to be heated and it was heated on the outside and not throughout the wrap. My friend ate his because he was hungry, I did not. I ate enough cold food in the military. It is absurd to charge full price for a pre-made cold wrap, and without any fries or chips.
I only recommend the course, because the course is amazing, everything else, buyer beware.
