Garrison Golf Club
Played On 07/19/2019Totally worth it.
Great course, and the best for the money. It’s significantly less money than other courses in the area, including the county courses. The course conditions are almost always excellent. On par with higher end courses in the area, but for 2/3’s the price.
The views of the Hudson are beautiful.
Some holes play a little tight,, and the greens are fairly small, but always in fantastic shape. I love playing here and have made it my go to course.
Beekman Country Club - Highland/Valley
Played On 06/22/2019Great BUT...
They have three nine hole courses at Beekman, but the starters are not the best, and you will ALWAYS start on highland, regardless of whether or not Valley or Taconic have players on them or if anyone is currently making the turn. I have made the turn and been 2 foresomes deep at the next tee on the weekends. Outside of that it’s a great course and really nice during the week.
Putnam County Golf Course
Played On 09/19/2018Great Course (on weekdays)
This is really nice local course with fantastic staff, all around. The starters and pro shop staff are always courteous, generally always very helpful. They do their best to get things done properly. Putnam has a very small practice range, but it is not really convenient for the starting area. There is a fantastic practice green right in the starting area which is nice. Ive never been disappointed with the conditions of the fairways and greens, even after prolonged rains or lack there of. The snack bar and BAR are always open when the course is open, and you never have to worry that the tender has gone home and no employees are able to (or old enough) serve food and beverages... uhhum cough Garison. If you play Monday to Friday, it’s absolutely worth every penny. And wheb the weather starts cooling off, you can almost get out by yourself if you’d like. . No stacking of singles and/or pairs for absolutely no reason unless they absolutely must.
Every fairway is basically separated by a single line of trees, so an errant stike can put you on another fairway pretty easily, not really an issue when it’s not crowded but on the weekends you’ll definitely find random carts driving out into your fairway without regard for your party halfway through teeing off, or in the middle of your backswing.
***This is the only reason for the low stars ...
If you have any anxiety or PTSD, you may want to wear a helmet, and get used to hearing FORE and having no idea where it’s coming from. The prices on weekends are very high, comparable to many premium courses in the area. I would just avoid the weekends here if it’s all possible unless you enjoy paying premium prices for a 6 hour round full of ducking for cover.
Lakes/Fairways at Centennial Golf Club
Played On 07/30/2017Great experience
Got a great deal on the green fees, but would consider passing full price because of the experience. Tee times are separated perfectly, no one pushing, and we rarely saw the folks in front of us.
The course was in excellent condition, and all of the greens played similarly. There were fantastic views from most of the boxes.
Putnam County Golf Course
Played On 07/29/2017Expensive for the experience
I've played here many times because it's so close. It's fairly pricy for what you get. For non residents it's almost $70 per round.
Generally the pace of play is very slow regardless of your tee time, your almost always waiting for a group ahead of your to shoot, and I have yet to see the rangers tell anyone they need to increase their pace. They just cream as many people as they can onto the course. Many people lack general golf etiquette, I've had people drive right out onto my fairway while my group is in the middle of teeing off, and take far too long to pick up or choose a club and shoot, with no regard for our group. Also pay attention because balls we'll get very close to you without warning, because the course is tight. And you may as well cover when you hear FORE because it can cine from anywhere.
The conditions are usually very nice and well groomed.
