They are doing a lot of work to the course. I think it will be very much improved once the work is complete and it has a chance to "grow in". In the meantime there are a few growing pains but it's still very worthwhile visiting.

fun course... short from the white tees

fun course mere minutes from NYC... worth the drive...driving range you can hit only limited distance balls... so if you want to hit regular balls before your round you must go to a different driving range

Great course

Love playing this course. Conditions were good considering it's late December. Some bunkers were a little hard but otherwise, good condition.

Just move to NY from California (Delta/Bay Area) First time playing this course. Didn't lose any balls in the leaves, but guys I was playing with lost a number of balls. I'm not a big hitter (75 yrs old) but I'm accurate, which was even more beneficial today (10/31). Greens were slow and a little rough, but playable. I did play from the senior tees (yellow)

A better public course

Although most public courses do not have as good of upkeep as private clubs, Sprain does a solid job throughout the season. If more golfers replaced divots and fixed their ball marks it would help. Otherwise challenging course.

This course is beautiful and forgiving.

I play this course as often as I can with my group of lady golfers. The fairways are wide, and the course is in beautiful condition. The staff are friendly and efficient, and I’m happy to see that the rangers get out there and try to keep things moving.
I wish the restaurant would stay open later, because the food is good, and the usual bartender/ waitress is outstanding! ( How she remembers what we usually order is amazing.) Feels like family at this course.
