Nice Track

Excellent, friendly staff.
Seeing that the greens were aerated on 3/18, figured they would have been not 100%, but at least filled in. Bumpy greens led to a lot of missed putts, and extreme speed deviation among all holes.
Conditions of tees and fairways was exceptional for early season, and played true.

Worth the trip!

Everytime I play thunderhart, I leave in good spirits. Staff and crew always friendly, greens hold incomng shots and roll true. Fairways and tees need some overseeding, but other than that, course plays challenging yet fair. Great mix of holes and shots. You will use every club in your bag. Will return a few times this year.

great condition....however....

Tee to green, the course conditions were excellent. However, the staff member in charge of changing the pin locations could benefit from a training from the MGA/USGA. At least 12 or 13 cups were on side hills and a few were even on a double break portion of the green. The course itself is a good challenge, the pin locations should not alter a scorecard by 5 to7 strokes. This would not hinder me from returning, but a repeat of those pins would make it my last visit for a long while. Too many great courses around ....

Tough track

Always liked the challenge of Wallkill, however, when you cant hold a green from 120 with a PW, it gets a little frustrating. There is such a thing as to many dogleg holes and Wallkill is that course. You will use nearly every club in your bag, and sometime soon they should just bulldoze the 18th hiole and try again, Overall, the conditions were ok, but I have seen this course in far better shape and the greens at least holding somewhat.

Worth the trip

Excellent greens, and overall conditions were very good. Tees will need some TLC, but will not hinder us from coming back. Socially distancing with a single rider cart is actually safer than walking next to someone! Beautiful scenery with views of the water. Par 3's are very challenging, and a few blind shots will require you to drive up and take a look before hitting. Will be back next week!

Great Early Season Conditions

Green grass throughout the course. Early season turf conditions were excellent! Greens are small, but were holding shots well. Cart path strictly enforced so know that...maybe call ahead before reserving a tee time because the seniors in front of our group were having a hard time. Staff were all extremely accommodating, except for the young lady in the booth...seemed a littlepreterbed to be there...but overall, clean carts and single riders only. Great day of early golf!

Highly Recommended

Having played nearly every course in the hudson valley (and beyond), the Lazy Swan is up there with the best public courses. Not sure why they are currently off of GolfNow, but am hopeful for their return. While nearly every course struggles to maintain proper turf in their fairways, you can actually hit your irons properly,as their fairways rank up there with some private clubs. They had some issues with moss on some greens,but they held incoming shots, and rolled true.

Great day of golf!

Upon arriving, we were treated like lifelong members. Staff couldn't say thank you enough, and they were extremely accommodating. once a bougie private club, they have opened their doors to the public and we hope it works out for them as this is an excellent, challenging layout with great conditions tee to green. 9th hole could actually be a par 5 if they could move their tees back 40 or 50 yards...as this is a nasty par 4...other than that, grounds staff may need a few gentle reminders regarding water in the ball washers, but overall, we will be back a couple times this season.

Quick round, Friendly staff.

This course has a good mixture of easy to moderately difficult holes. A few blind doglegs that need to be better marked on the tee box for those who have never played the course. Drainage continues to be their worst enemy. Greens are usually in good shape and can hold a high incoming shot, but the 17th green needs to be either leveled or reconstructed. If you want a nice, relaxing but quick 18 holes, come midweek and take advantage of GolfNow's awesome deals at this very user friendly track.

Come and see this place

Was told for years not to play here by colleagues and fellow golfers due to the difficulty and lack of playability. Goes to show that you have to play it to believe it. Found out that the difficulty of the track and the elevation changes proved to be too much for the prior reviewers.
As a former golf course superintendent and Turfgrass student, this course far surpassed my highest expectations. Tee to green, the conditions were immaculate, and the water features and natural areas enhanced the aesthetics. There are some tough holes here, and the par 5's are some of the best in the hudson valley. Will be beck again and again.
