This is one of the best and hardest courses I have ever played. Not to mention, there is currently a renevation being done to the course.

The food is excellent

The condition of the course was probably the best I have played this season. The greens did not seem to have any disease which has been a concern at Westchester courses this year. The fairways were in excellent shape coming out of a hot and dry summer!

Many chances for O.B. throughout the course.

Quite a beautiful setting with tree lined fairways on the back nine and panoramic vistas on 1 and 18.

Customer Service

Pleasant staff and professional attitudes all around.

Well-maintained
Scenic
Trees create unusual or difficult shots on some holes
Challenging with 3 long par fours and reachable par fives
The short par fours have very tricky shots or tricky greens.

Too many blind tee shots; need a caddy to scout group ahead
Grass near creeks is not frequently mowed
Sixteenth hole sometimes punishes good straight drives
Seventeenth green is poorly designed and will be replaced
Practice area crosses eighteenth fairway

Course is challenging, small Donald Ross greens, moderate length, fairly hilly with many blind tee shots but only two blind greens for long hitters. Unusual opening par four drops approximately 150 feet from tee to green with a pond limiting tee shot to four iron or less for long hitters, depending on wind with small landing area for viable second shot. The second hole is one of the longest par threes anywhere and can be stretched to almost 270 yards. First tee and eighteenth fairways have a panoramic view of the Palisades three miles distant and the Hudson River a mile away. Course is well maintained,with much bent grass, although tree lined fairways on back 9 sometimes cause fairways to be slightly thin. Bunker sand is not uniform. Water comes into play on 8 holes with out-of-bounds a factor on 15 holes. The ninth hole (444 yards uphill) is one of the more difficult par 4's in Westchester. Greens can be deceptive, with hidden undulations in some greens.
