They keep the course in mostly good shape, there are a few spots that are dried out, but the rough was fair and, considering the rain the day prior, their drainage is excellent.
The greens are unfairly fast. That’s the drawback. I’m telling you, majors championship fast greens.

The fairways are all sunburnt. This is usually a quirky, tough, memorable course but poor maintenance has left all the fairways and some greens burnt beyond playability.
Wait til next spring, play somewhere else.

A challenging open track, with a bunch of one of a kind holes, the highlight is the 77 yard par 3 7th hole with its hundred foot drop off. Some very tricky greens (4, 6, 9 will turn your hair white) and the ultimate blind shot on 16, where if you have the skill and the guts, you can drive the green.
I’ve never seen anyone do so.
A must play in the area.

There’s only 2 par 5’s, so, like one of my foursome, you might want to leave driver in the bag. (I didn’t) it’s a terrific, pretty, short course with a great layout and very fair greens.
If you have a driving iron you hit well, you’ll dominate the track.
A must play when you’re in the area.

A must play when you’re in the area, it’s a short, excellently maintained challenging track. Fair, firm greens, the late, 3 consecutive par 3’s is something you won’t find anywhere else.

This used to be the best and prettiest course in NYC, then for YEARS it was minimally maintained by management. It’s clear that they’ve gotten their act together, as with the exception of a few chewed up tee boxes (which is standard at any course at this point in the season) the track is in fantastic shape.
It’s a tough but fair track, the last 4 holes are not to be missed. Play here when you can.

Great course, fantastic practice and food facilities onsite, but still just a little too pricey for the area.

Tough but fair course with some VERY fast greens, the 77 yard par 3 7th hole is the signature hole. It’s a really good, fun track, worth playing when you’re in the area

It’s up against wetlands on most of the 1st 9 holes, so there will be mosquitos. Tees fairways and greens were all in great shape. It’s significantly harder than Pelham bay.

Largely in excellent condition, a few tee boxes were chewed up, with a little more rotation they’ll come back. A score-able track. Worth it to go every time.

It’s a great, challenging course, though it charges 25% too much compared to the others in the area. Their staff are super accommodating and with a few exceptions, the layout and conditions are ideal. Some very fast greens, and the 18th hole is so long it feels endless, at least to the beginner who played alongside me.

Not as tough as it’s twin, split rock, but a sold, straight hitter rewarding eighteen. The course has some water damage, and the day we played there were a few tee boxes under repair, but it didn’t diminish the aesthetic. Great course.

Good course with some damaged areas that didn’t really affect play, greens are in excellent shape.

A pretty course, not an east one. Beautiful views, fast greens (some too fast) and a well maintained track. It’s a little on the pricey side, so hold out for hot deals when you can, great staff, a must play when you’re in the area.

It’s a fine course which plays fast, especially in the early morning. The prime drawback is that the layout, with narrow fairways alongside each other, means golf balls will be coming at you, fast and frequently.

Great track, I played it a bunch during the last 3 years. Fun and challenging holes like the tricky par 3 7th and the monster par 5 11th holes make it a must play in the nyc area, but their rangers need to get people moving. It was easy to see empty holes in front of us and the slow 4some we played behind never got a warning. Turned what should have been an early day 4 hour round into a 5.5 hour round.

Second round of the year, so still some rust to shake off obviously, but the greens were lightning quick despite rain the day prior. The signature 7th hole is a unique challenge, play this course whenever you’re in the area.

The greens were still pretty wet, but the course is in good shape.
Get out and play!
