Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 12/2021.

Although it's only an hour from New York City, the Garrison's secluded location nestled in the Hudson Highlands makes it feel much further. Perched 800 feet above the Hudson River, the 18-hole Garrison golf course offers panoramic views of the river and the surrounding mountains. As beautiful as the rolling hills are, they provide a challenging topography that will keep you from being distracted by the scenery. The rolling greens are flanked with bunkers and water. In addition to the uphill, downhill, and side hill lies, you can expect a few tough carries over deep ravines and stands of mature oaks along the fairways. The elevation changes are especially dramatic on the front nine while the back nine is a bit more open and forgiving, but you'll still need accuracy throughout the entire golf course.

Greens

All the greens were punched. The greens were still fast but the punched holes made it impossible to putt

Elevation and elevations

This course is great if you want to use use the slope on on your range finder. The elevations are dramatic but tempered with amazing views. The topography of the course is fun yet challenging. This was my first time on the course and my only regret was the greens had just been aerated. I will go back to garrison golf course over and over.

Great Layout

As many have mentioned the tee boxes and green need some work but the layout, views and friendly staff more than offset these issues. Pace of play was a little slow due to club championships being played but did not diminish the enjoyment. Would definitely recommend and play again.
