In Good Shape!

Course was in much better shape than I saw last year. Grass cut appropriately, greens in good shape, and sand in bunkers. Plays pretty open with relatively large greens. Worth a trip to check it out!

Worth the Trip

Great course to play if you are looking for a nice ferry ride from Manhattan on a warm day! Short cab ride to the course from the ferry terminal. Greens always seem to be in great shape here and run fast. Some holes are a BIT close to each other which can lead to a lot of crossover between groups and shouts of "FORE" while playing. Pace of play can be slow because of this but seems to clear up in certain areas, especially toward the end of the round. Worth the trip to check it out!

Great Layout

Course can play a little tight in some areas but its a really great layout overall. A lot of interesting holes and variety. Greens were in great shape. Only major complaint was that they have taken the water coolers off the course. Hopefully they'll put them out as it gets warmer.

Greens in good shape

Enjoyed an afternoon round here last weekend while every other city course was packed until 3PM due to the amazing weather. Pace of play moved surprisingly well and greens were in excellent shape for an NYC course. Staff were all very friendly, especially in the Boxwood Cafe. Only complaint was that they don't have any water coolers out on the course at the moment, but had a great round aside from that!

Links Golf in AC

Fun links-style course near AC. Well designed and relatively open. Played on a windy day which definitely impacted decision making and ball flight depending on which direction the hole was playing. The dunes between certain holes really give you a feeling that you are on an isolated hole even though they are all relatively close together. Greens have recovered from aeration and were rolling well.

CUT THE ROUGH!

Maybe they are getting ready for the upcoming LPGA event, but the rough here made for a miserable round. The rest of the course is in great shape but the grass in the rough was so high that we lost multiple balls that were just off the fairway. Spent a good portion of our round just walking in circles trying to find balls in the rough or around the bunkers.

Great Course!

Nice track! They were doing some work on the 10th tee but aside from that everything was in very good condition. Really liked the layout and design of the course overall. Also staff there and bar/grill area were great. Super friendly and delicious burger. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Rough on First Visit, More Enjoyable on Subsequent Visits

Took some friends here for the first time because I enjoyed this course and the challenge it presents. There are a good deal of blind shots and the course can play pretty tight and not terribly long. My first-timer friends did NOT appreciate that and felt that the course was “gimmicky”. That being said, for someone returning to play again, I enjoyed the little knowledge I had and felt better prepared for the tricky holes (4, 5, 10). Greens were in good shape.

Course Aerated Week of 4/3

Course aerated week of 4/3 with the larger holes and plenty of sand on top. Should be looking good in a couple weeks. Fairways are patchy but mostly grass. Bunkers are in rough shape.

Course in Good Shape, Some Bugs

Course is in good shape overall. Rough is cut very low but that seems common for this time of year. Holes 3 and 4 had a TON of bugs/gnats but that may have just been for the day I played.

Unique Layout

Course has 27 holes to play (three 9 hole tracks). Booked a Hot Deal and played the Pines and Links courses. The course names were true to the layout and feel of the courses. Literally felt like I got to play two completely different courses in one 18 hole round! Conditions are perfect throughout the course. Par 5s were designed very well and really present some great risk/reward decisions to make while playing. Will be going back to try to play all 27 another day!

Greens Aerated 4/3 and 4/4

Greens were aerated (punched with holes and sandy) on 4/3 and 4/4. Fairways were patchy but had grass which was better than the past summer. Should be better in a couple weeks!

Great course with really interesting design features!

What a cool course! It runs around the old Playboy Club which is now abandoned, but always looms in the background as it is a gigantic building. I played the Quarry and Rail courses which both had some really unique features. Quarry takes you through a little canyon and has some really interesting hole designs. Rail has a good amount of elevation changes that keep things interesting. Greens were running quick for late Fall. It was wet in some spots but it had also rained a couple days ago, so it was somewhat expected. Considering the cost, I would recommend playing this over Wild Turkey (which I also played) at nearby Crystal Springs Resort.

Fun Course!

I played on a very cold day, but enjoyed the design of the course. It was relatively wide open with a few blind shots, but mostly accommodating. It is pricey, but besides that it is a fun track!

Not a long course but there are enough trees to keep it interesting. Good variety of holes and greens were in great shape. Was able to play a round in under 4 hours on a late Sunday afternoon!

Rough Needs to be Cut

The rough on most holes was pretty long which led to 5 minute search parties trying to find balls on multiple holes. Sand traps are mostly dirt but I was still able to play out of them without much trouble. Some tee boxes are lacking in grass, but I don't find that to be so terrible as long as they are relatively flat (which they are). Greens are in good shape though!

Woodland = Land of Woods!

27 holes of golf at this course. When we booked 18 through GolfNow they didn't specify which sections we would be playing, but as expected, they told us what sets of 9 we would be playing for that day when we got there (Woodland to Lakeside). The Woodland 9 is definitely in the forest and calls for straight shots. Anything into the forest generally gets lost since there are many tall pine trees close together for the ball to bounce off of in any direction. The Lakeside 9 opened up some more, but still calls for generally straight shots. We played the day after some rain and the course was still a bit damp in spots. But overall the conditions were fine with the exception of the bunkers which were more dirt than sand.

"Longer" Course Conditions

Not long in the sense that the course is long to play, but in the sense that the grass there is LONG! Overall the course is in good shape, it just needs a shave. And I mean all aspects of the course, from the rough to the fairways to the greens...all the grass is longer than you would expect. We didn't lose any balls in the taller rough grass but it will eat up anything that doesn't find the fairway. Greens are in good shape, just SLOW. But I still think its worth playing, just make sure to really hit the ball!

Beware the Sprinklers!

Course is in good shape overall. Where they were dry, the greens ran well and pace wasn't bad at all (especially for late on a Sunday). That being said, the greens were scheduled to be watered at 1, 2, 3, and 4 PM per the info on the GPS screen in the cart. I understand the need to water the greens, however on multiple holes this resulted in wet and swampy conditions that stopped more than one of our approach shots. And these wet conditions were present well after the watering had stopped. I don't know if this is due to poor drainage or just over-watering, but it was frustrating to hit chip shots onto the green just to see them stop dead in a puddle. Aside from that it was a great round!

Fun course, some tee boxes being worked on

I was up near Cooperstown for vacation and was looking to get in a round of golf. Enter Leatherstocking! The course itself is in good shape and is well designed. Wasn't busy at all and the final 3 holes are a real treat. Only drawback is that they are working on several of the tee boxes, so golfers would generally tee off alongside the box or further up on the forward tees. The island tee box on 18 is certainly one of the most unique features I have seen on a golf course!
