Where do I begin! My buddy and I drove 1.5 hours to the course. We arrived at 8:20 am which was our tee time (We normally arrive 30 minutes early, however we got lost since this was our first time traveling north to this course). Upon arrival we notice there is a golf outing scheduled to go out. We enter the pro shop to pay for our tee time. Jennifer says :it's 8:25 you can't go out" I showed her my phone and said "No it's exactly 8:20!" Jennifer proceeded to lecture myself and my buddy on "golf etiquette" as she wastes more time. Jennifer then takes us out to the starter and tells him "Here is my 8:20 that I didn't think was showing up" At this point we are like REALLY??? Finally after a lot of back and forth Jennifer takes our money and tells us we have to start on hole 2 due to the outing, Come to find out the outing started on the back 9, so not sure what the point of that was!

Course was very nice, tee boxes were plush, greens were in good shape.

We were greeted by another staff member named Danielle was was amazing! She was so nice, and thanked us for coming. Danielle was PRO all the way! Danielle should have been the first person we met at the course and our impression would have been different.

We played bad since we were aggravated about the way we were treated. NEVER GOT TO PLAY HOLE # 1!

Safe to say unless we are offered a discount, we won't be driving up north to waste our time and money at this course. Putnam and Beekman are a FAR better value and you are treated better

NO REASON TO SCHEDULE PUBLIC TEE TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE A GOLF OUTING IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE OR PERSONALITY TO DEAL WITH CUSTOMERS!

This was my first time playing this course. BEST County course by far! Driving range with real balls, putting green, chipping area. AMAZING STAFF! The course is challenging, I shoot between 88 and 94 (been playing for 2 years). pace of play on front 9 was ok, was able to shoot 44 as the pace was steady. We ran into a traffic jam on the back nine and it became frustrating and we were regularly waiting for 15 minutes per hole! We experienced a rain shower and the group in front of us decided to STOP in the middle of the fairway and hold EVERYONE up because they didn't want get wet. What made it worse was they wouldn't let anyone play through. As a result of a long wait the round went south as it became no fun due to the wait time. I thought Sprain Lake had a bad pace of play, but this was far worse. Over 5 hours for a round on a Thursday is not good.

The course itself was in amazing shape and even held up well after the rain. I look forward to playing it again, however I will not place after 10 am or weekends.

It's a shame as the facility was beautiful and the Staff was by far the nicest of all County Courses (Saxon Woods is a close second). The reason I put "Average" for value for the money is because you can play Lake Isle in Eastchester for virtually the same money.

I consider this my home course. I love the staff, the layout and the value of the course. HOWEVER my Uncle and I were put with 2 walkers who decided that every rule had to be followed. Mind you we went out at 10:46 am. The place was packed and we had to deal with two men who didn't want to play "ready golf" and who decided to look for every ball that got lost in the leaves. Just drop a ball and don't take a stroke!
Sucked because I really love this place, however being paired with slow players and being stuck behind a foursome who thinks they are on the PGA tour really sours things. The ranger drove bus 3 times but didn't seem to be engaged or aware of what was going on on the course.
