Nice Golf Course in Cornwall NY

Upon seeing that Storm King golf course in Cornwall NY was now open for public play, I thought I'd give it a shot. I had driven by the place for many years, but never had the opportunity to play as it was private for many years.

The course is physically 9-holes with 2 sets of tees for 18 hole play. Given the day I played was a quasi-holiday, the course was crowded and tee-times were backed-up about 1/2 hour upon arrival, but the staff was able to match me up with an alternate threesome and I was only 10 minutes delayed off my original tee-time.

I thought the course was in excellent shape - tee-boxes, fairways, greens all in fine condition. I did find that you have to be really careful at this course in terms of watching out for errant shots (both incoming and outgoing) - it's easy for errant shots to become a hazard to other groups either waiting on next tee or on adjacent fairways/greens. There are also a few blind shots that you really need to make sure you clear the fairway ahead of your shot as there could be groups ahead still hitting that you are not aware of.

Overall, the layout seems fine and challenging given the tight real estate that the course occupies - I found that you can use driver on most of the par-4s and par-5s which surprised me - so long hitting is certainly possible here due to the layout.

I will definitely come back to SKGC in the future, but probably on a less busy day. I realize that it's a challenge for any 9-hole course to manage pace and backups given the dual tee-box situation, so you will have to hope for the best on the day you decide to play.
