Bergen Point Golf Club
Played On 08/27/2022Don’t expect much
The roughs are not cut at all even by the green. Make sure you carry insect repellant lot of bugs, I was getting eaten up but value for money and staff is friendly.

Played On 09/05/2022Tough course made worse with extremely poor conditions
I get it there has been no rain but there are weeds growing on the tee box! The course is tough when it’s in good condition but it’s made way worse because it’s all dry and hard so a lot more roll on fairways that are tilted 30 deg and the ball just won’t stop.
For $80 I have played courses in much better condition. Save your money (and some balls) go elsewhere

Played On 08/01/2020No cart with refreshments
They did not let us take our cooler and there was no one on the course with a cart to provide any refreshments or beverages. Will not go back also because its unnecessarily really tough. Narrow with slanting fairways makes it very hard for average golfers.
Pelham Bay at Pelham/Split Rock Golf Course
Played On 09/25/2020Course in bad shape
This course needs serious work and it’s in terrible shape. The guys working mowing the fairways work while you play and don’t stop! They just keep going I felt like they ran over my ball a couple of times. Lot of bugs please carry your insect repellant.
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We’re very disappointed to learn that we did not live up to your expectations. The course conditions are a direct impact of the drought conditions we’ve experienced throughout the summer. It is not due to the lack of attention of the maintenance staff. We're still waiting on that much needed rain. At Somers National, we heavily rely on mother nature to generate enough natural water to feed the ponds situated throughout the course.
During your recent round, you’ve probably noticed the extremely low water levels of the ponds. We are a course that relies on adequate rainfall and we are more vulnerable to damage during a drought. We’ve encountered a spell of dry weather that we haven’t seen in many many years. In cases like this, there isn’t much our superintendent and operations team can do other than try to keep primary playing areas, like the greens, healthy and wait for rain. When grasses are stressed by lack of water, they go into drought-induced dormancy where growth slows and the grass loses color. In most cases, the grass is not dead and will regain its color once rain returns.
We try to make every guest aware of the situation and conditions prior to their rounds. We've noted the conditions prominently on our website as well as the booking confirmation notes.
Again, we are sorry we did not provide a positive experience. We are looking forward to better weather conditions in a few weeks. We hope you will give us another opportunity. At any time, please feel free to contact us at info@somersnational.com or 914-342-3273
