This is the course that you want to play

Second time playing there during my visit at Toronto. Beautiful course with great layout! We have a 8 am tee time and we got there a round 7:15 am playing at the range. It is also included in the green fee.

Hail storm after 9 holes

Really nice to play there again, but too bad the weather was not cooperating. Hail storm during hole 10 and need to get back to the club house. Lucky we did. The hail was close to an inch in size. Never see anything like this before in New York! Global warming is really happening faster than we expected.

No rangers and no maintenance on golf

The course is in bad shape. Look like it has no maintenance or superintendent took care of it at all. No ranger and so many beginner players on course. They were all over the place.

No grass at all

This course is so bad. There are all concrete fairways. Whenever you hit a good shot, the ball will roll off the fairway into the wood. Lost balls! The only green you see is the green and around the green. No grass anywhere else. Do not go there unless you see it in person. I have never play a golf course without a fairway.

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.

First time playing there

It was a hot and sunny day at the top of the hill with light wind conditions. It doesn’t feel like it was 90F with high humidity. Incredible golf club and will definitely return. It is a little pricey but still worst it to play with good friends.

Not too bad

This is our first time playing there. The starter let us out a little bit early and we finish the round within 5 hrs because of the 3 ladies playing in front of us. They were hitting 50 yds every shots. Luckily, they were playing for only 9 holes. Layout was good with a lot of trees.. If your balls went into the woods, do not go in. There are a lot of mosquitoes waiting for you! We got a really good deal from golfnow with cart. We will definitely going back again.

Very nice course!

I joined 3 other players which were very good players. Our pace was very good until a few holes later. There were a lot of slow players in front of us and it slows everyone down. Other then slow paces, I enjoyed playing with the other 3somes.

Incredible views

Really nice course and layout! But it is a difficult course. I would not recommend this for beginner. If you don’t care how good you played, then you should try this out and make sure you bring a camera with you. Most of the hole have an incredible view of smoky mountains as backdrop. Especially 18 holes! You can never get this view from anywhere else.

I can’t believe the scenic views in most of the holes. I would highly recommend for anyone that never play there before. We will definitely return when we are in the area.

Played in a cold day!

First time playing at black bear. The course was pretty wet due to the rain from early morning and it make the course play much longer. Back 9 is more difficult than the front 9. Layout is interesting. And the staffs are very friendly. I will return in warmer weather.

Nice course but extremely slow…..

First time playing there. It is a very nice course except we have to wait on every holes after the third holes. Beside the wait, we enjoy every single hole. Each hole has a difference layout. It makes it more interesting. Green and fairways are beautiful and perfect conditions. Sand traps are all flooded due to all the rain they received within the week. I recommend everyone should try this course if you are in the area.

So slow…….

Ranger need to do some work and push all the people go faster. We had to wait on every holes after playing 3 holes. We can’t finish the round because there were 14 people on the hole 18. 4 in the putting green, 4 waiting on the fairway, 2 waiting in the ladies tee another 4 waiting in the men tee. There is no way and excuse why so many people can be in the same hole.

Too long of a wait!

There was an outing happening while the pro shop was sending everyone out. When we get to hole 1. There was so many people waiting to tee off. There was at least 4 groups waiting. So we decided to play the back 9 and rounding up playing the back 9 again, because hole 1 have at least 2 groups waiting to tee off. So we decided to play the back 9 again. The golf course did look better than last years. They removed a lot of trees and open up the entire golf course. But all the bunkers (back 9) needs a lot of work and replacement. All weeds and rocks. It is unplayable. Tee boxes was ok. Fairway and green are nice . We will definitely not return. It is not worth it to wait every shots.

Bag fee and overall layout

This golf course is a difficult course to play. The layout is interesting but with a lot of hazards and native areas left and right. Most of the par 4 are longgggggg. We were playing at the white tee, it is 6400 yds and the next tee is 5200 yds. Nothing in between. This golf course also charge an extra $5 bag fee per person. I don’t really know what the fee is for. In 30 year playing golf, this Is the first time I got charged for bring a golf bag. Lol.

Not a bad course to play.

First time playing here. Overall it was a good experience. Pace of play was extremely fast. 3 person and we finished less than 4 hrs. The group in front of us was playing pretty fast and the group behind us was moving 1-2 strokes behind us. Some fairways and green area Course need some work on the front 9. A lot of area was damaged and being repair. Some sand traps are soft and some are not. But overall good experience!

Sunny and perfect day for golf!

It is a nice golf course layouts. A lot of up and own. Try to keep the ball in the fairway. Rough are very dense and tough to get out once you are in. Green is pretty fast as well during our play.

Beautiful course!

The last time I played here was 5 years ago. We decided to play here today and we really enjoy the course. The layout is good. Fairway is in perfect conditions. Staffs are friendly. But today suppose to cart path only. The 2 people behind us was driving their cart all over the fairway and damage the grasses. They should send ranger out to take them out of the course!

Over 5 hrs long is too long

The green and fairway are absolutely perfect! Front 9 is much easier play than back 9. Front 9 is also safer than back 9 of not being hit by a golf ball. Each one of us almost got hit from a golf ball within 15’. There are not many trees around between the 2 fairways. So the chance of getting hit is very easily. First time playing here and the pace of play are just ridiculously slow, and we will not be returning to play here again.
