Played 27 on a perfect day, about 70 degrees, sunny with a few puffy clouds. The vistas are spectacular, the course challenging, and the staff extremely friendly. Play this course soon because 2021 will be it's last year in business. Per the local paper:

Chris Davis, the owner of The Garrison, said on Friday (April 2) that he plans to close its 18-hole golf course after the 2021 season because of significant financial losses but will ensure conservation easements prevent commercial development of the land.

Davis said the decision was independent of a plan by the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival to move its longtime home at Boscobel to 52 acres Davis donated at The Garrison site. The plan had been to reduce the course from 18 to nine holes to make room.

The other businesses operated by The Garrison — a wedding and catering venue, a small inn and The Valley Restaurant — will remain in operation, Davis said in a statement.

The golf course will begin its final season on Monday (April 5).

The statement cited “many years of significant losses from golf operations and the failure to achieve any significant synergy between golf and its core wedding, catering and restaurant businesses.”

“We’ve invested heavily in golf for two decades,” said Chip Allemann, general manager of The Garrison, in the statement. “Like so many commercial golf courses around the country, we simply failed to become economically sustainable in light of declining play and the increased number of courses” in the region.

Must have been a spectacular course at one time but has unfortunately fallen into disrepair. The club house, driving range, pool and tennis courts looked great but were empty. All the greens have been lost with temp greens placed just in front of them. A little investment and I'd play this course twice a month. It has that much potential..
