What happned to the Fairways ?

We used to love golf at this place. I was there 2 months ago and the course was in fantastic condition; lush fairways, great greens.
This time at least 40% or more of the fairways were in a burnt grass / dried out condition.
I hope they are able to remedy this; it was sad to see this otherwise great local course in this condition.

Read Carefully Below: I played in June - it is now October

I was just contacted now some 4 months after I played which was back in June to review this Course
It is now mid-October
I used to love this place because I could play there mid week and getting out on the course when it was quiet even if I was late getting there was never a problem. I live an hour away.
New management policy will not honor your GolfNow Hot Deal unless you are there exactly on time..If the course is busy that is understandable. However when I go in the aftternoon mid week I practically have the whole course to myself.
Therefore if management wants to disqualify your Hot Deal when the cousse is empty then they should not participate in the Hot Deal program.
It's as if they are resentful of not getting you to pay their $45 after 4pm rate during the week. For that money there are much better courses nearer to me.

How About a Heads Up ?...But it was All Good After All

The next time these courses are going to run 3 Outings then how about a Heads-Up ??
My tee time was for 3:04pm and I hit my first tee shot an hour later at 4pm. Ok I'll go with the flow I said except that after 1 hole I got backed up but the Starter told me I could try the other course..Well I got there and was told you can't play here we have an another outing !!! ...
I saw a lot of signs in Korean and thought maybe Trump & Kim are golfing to hammer out a Nuclear deal.. A Korean guy with 3 ladies invited me to join them so this looked promising though the ladies didn't speak English though they did smile a lot and chattered among themselves having fun. Another hour and 3 holes later I was eating spicy Korean food by invitation at a table they had set up.
Now it's 5pm and I'm finally teeing off on the 4th hole...So after 3+ hours I finally finish my Front Nine..I go over to the other course to play my back Nine, join up with the Starter (who was now off duty) as all 3 Outings were mostly done and the 2 of us finish with a few brilliant shots each before dark.. ... I'm happy got in my 18 Holes with laughs and spicy food ... And so it turned out to be All Good !!!

Reliable

As a single player I am interested in super low Hot Deals when they become available as I am not usually up to playing a full 18 holes alone.That's why I opt for playing at quiet mid afternoon times during the week.
Van Cortlandt is close by and I know the course well so I play there whenever possible if I see a low price deal. This week I played there twice.
It is divided into 4 distinct sections so riding only is recommended or you'll walk extra to the next set of holes.Most holes are wide open enough with only a couple of narrow fairways.
The course was in good shape for early spring.
The weather was chilly and cool.
The staff with the exception of one guy are very friendly.

Nice 9 Holer - Part 2

Played here again (see review 2 days ago) since I found a low priced deal again...for me that is key since when playing alone 9 holes is usually enough. Also this course is a satisfying 9 holes.

Nice 9 Holer

I play this course on occasion when I can get a super low priced deal or equivalent I would not pay the $40+ walk in rate. The layout is interesting and if you are up for only playing 9 holes you will be satisfied - providing that the price is right

Always Good

I have played Pelham/Split Rock as one of my local courses for years and never had any complaint. The staff is friendly and courteous.
Course conditions are usually good to excellent depending on the time of the season.
This was a winter golf round (42*F and a little windy & sunny) as this is one of the few courses open, weather permitting (meaning when not snow covered) in the Winter (Jan Feb)
Greens were very puttable for January and the fairways had enough turf to keep playing off of grass if you move your ball when needed - after all those are Winter Rules, During regular golf season these courses are in plenty good shape.

Like Summer Out in The Country

I used to play this course more often when I worked in the area. Presently I live 50 mi from there. Just the same I found a lower priced Hot Deal (this was key) to make it worth the drive to get out of my local area for the day.
This course is unusual in that there are a few steep hills.Once you get "up on top" you enjoy feeling you are out in the country The greens were in decent shape (could use better tending though) and the fairways were good. There were very few other players when I played at 5pm. This time I was restricted to the back 9 only because a wedding was being catered and part of the front 9 runs close to the the main building. So if you are going on a Fri or Sat in the afternoon it would be best to check first with the pro shop. I didn't mind not playing the front 9 this time since I had played it earlier in the week, that being the first time in years I had played this course. Also bring bug spray in case - certain areas on the course can be a bit buggy.

Great Sprinkler System keeps the fairways & greens in good shape all day long. I was impressed at how good the course played despite recent dry weather.

Good 9 Hole Practice Course

I've played Poxaxbogue GC many times over the past 5-6 yrs. It's worth the money when you can get an inexpensive Hot Deal. This course is good or when you don't have the time to commit to an 18 regulation round of gold.

Nice 9 hole course (I walked but you can ride for $10 extra at Pro shop)

This is a good 9 hole walking course which I played mid-week during a quiet time of day for a Hot Deal price of $13 total. ($10 more from Pro shop if you want to ride) Fairways were good, greens were truly excellent. Holes # 7 & especially #8 cut through a back woods that was interesting. There was some noise from the road nearby in the late afternoon.
The photo is not of the course (taken another time) but was taken across the street to give an idea of the locale which is nice.

Great Local Course

I have played Sprain Lake often as I live nearby. Course is well maintained, ride carts a new, and when 3 of us went off at 2pm we were able to play 18 holes in just under 4 hrs. All of the staff are courteous and friendly with one exception, a starter/ranger named Mick. If he gives you any lip he should be reported.

Great local practice course if you can get a low price thru Golfnow

My opinion of all the courses I play thru Golfnow largely depends on how low a price I obtain. I paid basically $10 bucks which included cart. I won't play this course for much more than that. Fairways were good and greens were pretty decent.

Let's see what better weather brings

For the past 4-5 yrs this course was in great shape and perhaps it still will be now that warmer weather is finally getting here. Greens were only so-so but will probably improve with the right combination of rain & sun we are now getting. I played on a weekday with misting conditions so with so few golfers out I was able to play 18 holes in 3 1/4 hrs.

Tight and Interesting Course

This course was built with many holes that thread their way through a hilly residential development so many holes would be considered tight. Considering the soaking rains of the previous 2 days drainage seemed good. If you like playing in the afternoon after 1:30pm player traffic is light I was told and indeed playing alone I was able to complete 18 holes in slightly over 3 hours. I began at 3:30 and was done by about 6:30

Scenic Golf Course

Nicely kept course, interesting geography, I would recommend to try it once for the expeience. Avoid however going as a single; expect a long round and best to play it with someone you know. After 2 3/4 hours on the first 9 holes (started in late afternoon) I bowed out so the other 3 players who knew each other stood a chance to finish their 18 holes before dusk.

I DO recommend this course, said I didn't (above) by mistake. Just be prepared for the type of course this is: challenging and unusual in a topographical sense, unlike others in the area.Also more credit o he staff; they try very hard to be accomodating.

Very Nice Golf Course

This is a very nice course and will be even better when the current construction project is completed. I was able to play on a weekday thru a great Hot Deal of 20 bucks. It is now the off season with cool/colder weather so it was priced accordingly.
Staff is super friendly and that makes a difference in deciding to return and play again

Great if you can pay a Hot Deal price

This is a good 9 Hole course. The first 2 holes are very narrow and run between houses so long irons are recommended. The staff was super cordial and considerate so you feel like you are at a private club. This is a good practice/recreational type of course. Bring low price/used golf balls since they are easy to lose with all the water hazards that must be crossed in half the Holes.

From great views of the Hudson River to well laid out holes that seldom abut each other Garrison GC is my absolute favorite place to not only golf but to just be there. The staff are all terrific.
