Rundown like the hotel

The crumbling remains of a once thriving hotel has unfortunately crept it's way up to and swallowed one of the last remaining legendary Catskill golf courses.
Played a round August 2nd after being assured by the locals it was worth the 85.00 fee.
The skeleton crew of a staff on duty were nice enough, but the decor is dated. No after round libation spot by a long shot either. No on course personnel, beverage cart and no food. Cart paths are impassable unless you drive 2mph looks like it was carpet bombed. It's a shame they let this gem slip away. Take the 85.00 and play two other local courses.

Hard as a rock, bare as a bone.

I know this summer has been hot but this place is baked. Tons of spots in the fairways are just patches of brown grass and dirt, packed, dry, hard dirt at that. You're better off hitting into the rough. The starter and cart guys are jaded, no hellos or other nice pleasantries. All we heard was them barking, "Park here", "Do this", "go here, don't go there" etc. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone else and won't go back until I see it's well reviewed.

Beat up

Tee box plaques and scorecard yardages were way off, tee boxes really bare on a lot of holes. Cart paths need a lot of attention. Tee times were backed up at least a half hour-45mins. tons of unrepaired divots in the fairways and ball marks on the greens. Didn't see one players assistant / ranger the whole 5 hrs. on the course.

A nice challenging course

Course is well maintained and the staff is very friendly, can't wait to return it's my new favorite course. A 35 minute drive from Midtown Manhattan makes it a real gem.
