Good course

Some holes are quite dangerous when no trees prevent you from being hit a balls from other holes. The course is usually windy. However, we love the friendliness of the staff, the layout and the condition. We thank the lady in the proshop very much. We can have a walk rate. So game is reasonable. Will be back!

Disappointed

I have reviewed the course many times because i love it and hope they would improve it soon. But since they repair it (maybe half of year ago) no at least 4 teeboxes are still NOT open. We have to move to the fairway (like the winter golf) or on the plastic mat. This is insane when you still have to pay about $40-60/round (walking).
I will not play here for this season anymore. Really disappointed on management and maintainance process. Still, 5 stars for staff, the course layout and time saving when driving from the city!

It is improving

Coming back after two months, the course fairway and greens are beautiful now. I also saw they were repairing some of the tee-boxes that i complained before. When they finished, i think this will be one of the best course near NYC. Love to coming back all the time. You should play more here to support them in improving the course of town.
Keep doing, I love the course!

Need a change

Come back here after 3 years. The coure overall is in a good care, good shape. But there are two things that may keep players from not coming back:
1. Meanwhile they take very good care of the fairway, they seem to abandone the greens. No cutting, no caring (i think) there are at least two kind of grasses growing in there. Greens are the spirit of each game. So you know how it feel when you putt.
2. The guy in proshop. I feel he was overwork. His attitude to players is not ok (rude and stressful). If he is the boss of the course, i can understand.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Pay too much for cart

I and my friends have to pay $91 each for a round (of course weekend) at a federal course. The receipt said riding itself costs $18/person/round. It means each cart they earn $36 OMG. I love walking, but the course gives me no chance because it is too hilly and the distances between holes are far. The course should share with the players, instead of charging too much.
Everything else is good, except closing green practice and driving range. The proshop is under construction so we start at 5, finish at 4. That changes your game a lot. And the fairways are unnecessarily narrow. I gave not high * because of the value we pay for.

Best score of my life

I got my best score of my life today (78). I wish i could give 5* to the course. I love the location, layout and staffs. But the condition (tee boxes are really terrible for so long time). If the course get better maintainance, it would be the best around NYC. Then I will play there frequently.

Worse manangement and condition

Come back this course with hope it is better but i regret.
1. They say cos i book through golfnow, then we have no choice to play in Pelham or Splitrock. If we want we have to go to their website. But if they think Golfnow is so annoying, why dont they stop corporating with them?
2. They ask us to play starting at hole 10 first without any explaination. That's change our game a lot. If you play there, you really don't like to start the tougher back 9 first.
3. We ask for the measure and marker for a competition, they ask us to leave our credit card there. Thats disappointed and disrespected to golfers
4. Some of the teeboxes are terrible. Fairways get worse and worse. Pace is too slow. And Its not deserved with $64/round

I know why others say they wont come back

After the first time here, i understand why not many people come back or recommend this course to me.
No starter, no hole sign, no tee marker, no marshall...but a lot of bird poop and sometimes someone may jump in front of you.
I give some positive star to the staff. They are helpful. I hope they will renovate soon because the layout is good.

Not necessarily tough

I love the layout but it should not be necessarily that tough. If the fairways are already narrow and blind, the green should be normal. They should change if want players coming back.

Tough course but fun to play

This is very tough and special course that i keep coming back many times.
I love the layout, lotus, the view. But i wish they can take more care on the tee boxes. They are really bad.
You are very good at everything except for the terrible tee box conditions.

Bad layout

You will see you have to spend too much time find out where is next hole?! The layout of some holes look like the same. It made me bored soon. Overall, I don’t like the course. Don’t want to come back.

Not worth $50 in week days

I paid $50 for a Wednesday golf, I hope it’s great. But the condition is not as 3.9 star review. 3.0 is acceptable.
First time here but not willing to be back again.
