Very interesting course!

I like golf courses which are perfectly fitting into their environment. This one does. For a first time player it has too many blind shots. Anyway. I would play it again. And again.

Great Course, poor conditions

In general I like this course, very challenging, great layout. But sadly the conditions are getting worse everytime I play it (once or twice a year).

Nice, good atmosphere, but a little boaring

It was a wet week, so I don't blame the course for being somewhat muddy and the balls not being bouncing. I know other Trent Jones courses which are better, Casperkill b. e. because they offer different challenges. The holes at Wiltwyck are all somehow the same type. Not easy at all, but everything goes into the same direction. I will give it another try because the folks there are very inviting.

Nice atmosphere!

A challenging course through the woods. Have to shoot precisely. Good greens, fun to play. The best is the very friendly and helpful staff.

Uphill and downhill

Nice course, VERY challenging to walk it. I have never seen a hole like no. 3. It is like a beginner's downhill ski track, just to play up the hill! The greens are challenging, too. Going behind the greens always means trouble. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the greens were slow and bumpy and needed mowing.

Very nice course in a perfect Setting, right above the Hudson River and adjacent to West Point Military Academy. Holes are challenging, but always fair. Can't wait to return.

Always a nice experience

I have been there on several occasions and found the course always in good shape. Some holes are very challenging (b. e. 2 and 11) others are quite easy, it's a good mix.

Spectacular Setting

Very challenging course, it's steady uphill/downhill play. Course is in good shape. It makes me feel sad that a lot of Golfers do not respect the hard work of the greenkeepers.I saw hundreds of unrepaired divots on the fairways and ball-marks on the nice greens .
I am a passionate walker. So to me it makes no sense at all that you can either ride a cart or you have to carry your bag. Pull- or push-carts are not allowed.

Not bad at all, but a little boaring

Railside is ok, but not at all a course to be remembered. All the holes are similar. Play one hole and you have played them all.

Good addition to Golfnow

Dutchess CC was a private course, now being semi-private. So, that was the first time I got a chance to play it. I was very curious. The course is in very good shape, the front nine has many tight holes, the back nine for me is the better part.

The staff is very attentative und friendly.

In the neighborhood of Dutchess CC you can find several other public courses. They mostly are cheaper than DCC and are wonderful as well. DCC is a matching Addition to Golfnow.

Value is exceptional

Played Thunderhart in early spring which comes late here in the Catskills. The course was in good shape, the greens a little too slow due to maintainance.

The design is very nice, much uphill/downhill. Water comes into play several times. That's the most challenging part of Thunderhart, especially if you are not familiar with that course.

Staff is very friendly, the local players, too. Thunderhart is a good value, will definetly come back when it's warmer.
