Always a challenge

Like the course and layout. The tees were not in great shape, and the traps were terrible. Greens were fine and had good roll.

Always a good experience

Course was in very good shape. Greens were true and on the fast side. Only place where some improvement needed (some re seeding) is on several tee areas. Troon does a great job.

Somewhat disappointing

Always liked the layout and some really nice holes. However, the course conditions are not good. Many bare spots in fairways and around greens. Some bad areas on a few greens also. Heard there are new owners and hoping that they put some work into fixing up the course.

Enjoyable round

Course is in the best condition I've seen it and the greens are running true and faster than in the past which is good. Got a few sprinkles, but nothing heavy.

One of the nicest courses in Southern New York State

Thoroughly enjoyed the course and its challenges. Fortunately I played well and didn't have to deal with most of Pete Dye's difficult hazards. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you want a treat, try this course.

Weather played a part also.

Tough course for me. the course was very wet from recent rains, so no roll or bounces. Took extra shots to get to longer holes. Still enjoyed the round as it is challenging and well laid out.

Walked

Fun time in the Bronx

Although a cart was included in the price, we decided to walk. Except for 15-18 hills, the holes are relatively easy to walk. The course has 5 sections with grouped holes, and the walk between sections is long. It is the oldest public course in the US, but some holes had to be redone when the NY State Thruway was built in the 40s/50s. Thus the "sections". Enjoyable course with fairways in good shape, greens a bit bumpy but to be expected at this time of the year with freezes and defrosting.

Very enjoyable day even if my play was not.

The course is hilly and a challenge. The greens were the fastest I've seen at this course in more than 10 years. The greens are also hilly and most have severe slopes, and with the speed, made it difficult to stay close.

There were a good number of golfers this day, and the pace was slower than usual, about 4 3/4 hrs. Usually its around 4 - 4 1/4 hrs.

Still, great views of the Hudson hills from a lot of holes, which gives you an upstate experience.

One of the better Westchester County Public Courses

Course is in nice condition including greens, which rolled true, and traps, which actually had sand. Some tee boxes could be leveled however. Pace was good considering this course gets a lot of play. Course ia average length from the white tees, but still some challenging holes.

Nice course with great views of Hudson.

Course is always a challenge for me. You need to be straight with drives. This round was particularly slow, having to wait on every hole. Most greens good, but a few with some winter damage.

Very enjoyable course.

A bit disappointed that we couldn't play Taconic due to a large kids group with the pro. Everything else was fine. Some greens still had frost damage from the winter, but did not affect play.

Lovely course and kept in good condition

Only issue was that the greens had damage due to the bad winter and several are still not entirely back. Otherwise very enjoyable and some nice golf holes.

Nice leisurely round.

Very enjoyable conditions as nobody in front and nobody behind. Played as twosome in just over 3 hours. Appears there are recent new owners and trying to build up memberships, but also allowing public play. Restaurant was not yet open, which was a disappointment as it was very good in the past.
If you want a good day for leisurely play or practice at a good price I would recommend Storm King.

Very enjoyable and nice views from East course.

Everything was great this day with exception of the condition of the greens. Greens took a beating from the recent winter, and will take a bit of time to get back to great condition. Still was able to make several longer putts, so I enjoyed the round.

Always an enjoyable round

The course is set in the hills and has several great scenic views. Greens were true and traps were maintained. Some browning on the fairways which is unusual this time of year. All in all a good experience.

Very nice vacation course

Layout was interesting and since first time playing, I found myself not always in the correct position for best access to greens. Enjoyed the course and would try and play again if I'm in the area. Greens had recently been aerated so it was difficult to assess the rolls properly. A definite bargain through your discount site, and some of the views of the Catskills were wonderful.

Good and Bad

Course is in fine condition and greens ran true. Only problem was the play was extremely slow due to a couple of groups in front of our foursome. I had to ask the foursome in front of us after 11 holes to please pick up their pace as the group in front of them was two holes ahead. There should be a ranger on the course to ensure timely play.

Highly recommended layout

Only played once before about 6 years ago. Enjoyed the course this time as I had GPS which is needed. Course in great condition and holes are challenging, but fair. Greens were fast and somewhat deceptive with subtle breaks. Back nine longer, but I liked the holes better. Hope to play here again.
