Pace sucks...

It's absolutely unacceptable that this course doesn't have a ranger to maintain the pace of play. It's downright ridiculous! Moreover, it's incredibly rude and disrespectful when players skip ahead of others on the course without any regard for common golf etiquette. It's high time the management takes action and addresses these issues to ensure a better golfing experience for everyone. Golfers should be held accountable for their behavior, and those who disrupt the pace of play should be promptly reprimanded. It's time for some changes to be made and for the course to enforce proper etiquette and maintain a more enjoyable environment for all golfers.

Great course

Don’t let the total yardage fool you. Its fairly short course but requires good understanding of various lie angles and accuracy to help keep the low score.

Most importantly, condition of the course is amazing!

Not for the Faint of Heart or Players with Back Issues

This is a very challenging course for the average golfer. It's designed well and the views of the course and the surrounding area are often stunning. Fairways are in good shape for mid-summer and greens are in excellent condition. The course is in the midst of building a new clubhouse, and the stand-in facility is dingy and very poorly stocked, as is the beverage cart. The biggest issue I have with the course is that it has less than Third World cart paths that cannot be avoided at times because of long distances between greens and tees. If you have any, and I mean any,, back issues do NOT play this course. My second issue is that carts are in dreadful shape and, in my case, unreliable as the engine quit on my twice. The whole fleet needs to be replaced.

Four Reasons Not to Play West Point Golf Course Now

We had a very disappointing experience at WP Golf Course for four reasons.

First, the fairways are being aerated and the dirt plugs are all over the course.
Second, we were not told by the starter or the pro shop that the course was being aerated today. We were told not to drive on any of the fairways which had been aerated
Third, the greens are super fast and the ball doesn't stay on the greens
Fourth, the pace of play is too slow with backups at every hole.

It may get better after all the work is done but I wouldn't recommend playing there until late September.

Great, but challenging course.

It was my first time playing here and it took a toll on my score (LOL). I look forward to going back and finding some of the birdies I left behind.
