A better public course

Although most public courses do not have as good of upkeep as private clubs, Sprain does a solid job throughout the season. If more golfers replaced divots and fixed their ball marks it would help. Otherwise challenging course.

This course is beautiful and forgiving.

I play this course as often as I can with my group of lady golfers. The fairways are wide, and the course is in beautiful condition. The staff are friendly and efficient, and I’m happy to see that the rangers get out there and try to keep things moving.
I wish the restaurant would stay open later, because the food is good, and the usual bartender/ waitress is outstanding! ( How she remembers what we usually order is amazing.) Feels like family at this course.

Enjoyable & Comfortable

Played many different courses in NJ & NY recently and Sprain Lake is now a future option, ....especially if it's a hot deal.
Commute with tolls and 'regular' rates are only hesitation.

Most improved in Westchester

The locals call Sprain the Pebble Beach of Westchester. That’s a wild overstatement for this muni, but there are water views of the adjacent State reservoir that comes into play on the front and back nine. The county deserves credit for improvements to tees and greens, especially the par 3, no. 9 where a sheer back-to-front slope has been leveled to hold a decent tee shot. Pace of play can be an issue, especially on the third hole with a short fairway that ends at a steep drop off. Players whose tee shots are short have a blind second shot to the green below. A ranger is needed, but rarely on hand. The home holes are great downhill drives that favor strategy over distance. The green at 18 tucked into a corner behind 9 looks small and demands a well-struck second shot with trouble on all sides. Love this track!

In decent shape

So first off, therental clubs for $25, were terrible, for $50 they have AP3's. My complaint about that is the driver had a regular flex.
The course is green and lush, I wish people would repair their divots, I try to repair an extra divot when on greens, you should do the same. The greens were super soft, so they held shots, they rolled fairly well, but were on the slow side. The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape also and I appreciated the depth of the rough. Even though the course is only 6000yrs from the tips, you have to hit fairways or it will cost you a ton of strokes. It was a buddy of mine first time playing the course and he enjoyed it.
