Hate to do this

Hate to do this but stay away from this place. The layout is awful and the conditions are worse. The staff is super friendly but my goodness I wouldn’t play here for free. If the layout is going to be so wacky, they need to make sure the cart gps is working (they don’t).

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We’re very disappointed to learn that we did not live up to your expectations. The course conditions are a direct impact of the drought conditions we’ve experienced throughout the summer. It is not due to the lack of attention of the maintenance staff. We're still waiting on that much needed rain. At Somers National, we heavily rely on mother nature to generate enough natural water to feed the ponds situated throughout the course.

During your recent round, you’ve probably noticed the extremely low water levels of the ponds. We are a course that relies on adequate rainfall and we are more vulnerable to damage during a drought. We’ve encountered a spell of dry weather that we haven’t seen in many many years. In cases like this, there isn’t much our superintendent and operations team can do other than try to keep primary playing areas, like the greens, healthy and wait for rain. When grasses are stressed by lack of water, they go into drought-induced dormancy where growth slows and the grass loses color. In most cases, the grass is not dead and will regain its color once rain returns.

We try to make every guest aware of the situation and conditions prior to their rounds. We've noted the conditions prominently on our website as well as the booking confirmation notes. 

Again, we are sorry we did not provide a positive experience. We are looking forward to better weather conditions in a few weeks. We hope you will give us another opportunity. At any time, please feel free to contact us at info@somersnational.com or 914-342-3273

Good course, terrible shape

I’ve played the course before and enjoy it, however, it is in such bad condition, I assume because of the drought, that I would not recommend playing this course this year.

Great People Course is a Desert

Staff was kind and gave numerous warnings of conditions due to drought that we're going through. However,with that being said nothing could have set us up for what we were in for. The greens were well maintained and more than suitable but the fairways made the Atacama look like an oasis. I understand that we can't control the weather and assume that they are executing some type of plan to make the necessary fixes going forward. The consistent sentiment within out group was "your better off just paving the whole fairways".

We need rain!

Sadly the course was very burnt out worse then any I’ve played in recent weeks. They did a good job keeping the greens in shape but the rest is all dirt at this point. I don’t want to be to harsh we haven’t had rain and it’s taking it’s toll on the course. 50$ Was a bit much for current conditions but hopefully we get rain soon.

Challenging course

Due to weather the course grass is dry, but the greens are great. The course layout it self is great, challenging course for a beginner. Many elevation changes which is great practice. Really need to know how to read the terrain and plan your shots accordingly.

Bad Shape

I know it’s because of lack of rain, but the course is in terrible shape. Fairways are dead, balls roll out forever until it finds something to stop it. Greens are the only thing still decent. With the course in this shape i’d think they’d charge a lot less.

No grass at all

This course is so bad. There are all concrete fairways. Whenever you hit a good shot, the ball will roll off the fairway into the wood. Lost balls! The only green you see is the green and around the green. No grass anywhere else. Do not go there unless you see it in person. I have never play a golf course without a fairway.

WORST COURSE IN WESTCHESTER. AVOID.

Rock hard fairways bc of zero irrigation. Course layout sucks, it’s so narrow and lots of undulation. Zero maintenance team; except for the guy mowing the dead fairways??? Explain that to me!!! LOL

Greens “look” great bc they are sprayed - roll inconsistently. A few decent holes but the others should be rebuilt or blown up. No halfway house or water jugs on the course. Even in the summer, no water jugs? Criminal.

Perfect shots go out of bounds because of the concrete like fairways and narrow holes.

I will never play here again. Luckily the round was $50 although I still feel like I was taken for a ride.

Tried to upload a pic of the horrendous fairways but don’t think it worked. Imagine the desert floor and there ya go.

Possibly the worst course in NY State

I grew up near Somers hasn’t been here in years so I figured I’d check it out. Big mistake. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted at the bag stop by a starter who 1. Wouldn’t let me go out a few mins early despite the course being empty and 2. Wouldn’t allow me to take a solo cart because there was another single on my same tee time and the course “likes to conserve gas” (this is a direct quote). I decided to walk and he allowed me to pop out alone onto the essentially empty course.

The northeast has been in a rough drought this summer so I didn’t expect lush greenery but the tee boxes and fairways are all dead and hard dirt. Clearly no attempt to salvage them or the impossibly narrow fairways. The greens were in good shape.

After walking 9 holes, despite paying for 18, I left and don’t plan on ever returning. The surrounding area has plenty of better options for public golf. Simply put, there’s literally no reason to ever play golf here.
