Nestled in the Lower Hudson Valley, Putnam County Golf Course enjoys a scenic location amid rolling hills yet it’s not too far from the city. Formerly known as Putnam National, the club was originally opened as a private club in 1959, it opened to the public when it was bought by the county in 2004 but it continues to offer the quality and amenities of a private country club. The golf course has front and back nines that are completely different from one another so be prepared to use all the clubs in your bag. Water hazards only come into play on two holes but don’t let that fool you, this course is formidable even for avid golfers. Putnam County Golf Course's final four holes are an especially challenging stretch that will test you with everything from uphill lies to a slew of strategically placed bunkers.

First timer

Nice course and well maintained. Friendly staff. One thing I would say is that for those that use GPS watches, the course has been changed. I didn't know this and thought my watch was crazy. Would be good if this got sorted out.

Nice Course Always Slow Play

Nice Course Always Slow Play. Group in front of us held up golf course all day. Not uncommon at Putnam. Never a ranger to move things along.

a good experience

Staff was helpful. We started on the back nine and we came around to play the front nine a new foursome went out between us. Slow day 5 hours plus due to residual rain and use of cart paths only.

Way too many tee times

The course itself is nice but they schedule tee time every 6 minutes which leads to large backlogs. Have only golfed there once where it was not over a 6 hour round

An absolutely horrible experience

I played today and paid $72 as a non resident. I was robbed! Fairways as long as the rough! No sand in any bunker. Greens bumpy as aall get out.Please do not use rain a week ago as an excuse! I work at a nearby public course and we have mowed fairways 3 times in 5 days. This place was a joke!

Okay

Someone was getting a lesson on the range hitting driver into 8 and 9 fairway. Almost got hit on both holes without him or the club pro yelling FORE. Other than that the golf course was as expected.

Pleasant

Very nice course. Only problem that we experience a few golf balls coming from other fairways into your fairway. We had a couple close calls.
