About this course

Tarry Brae Golf Course sits in South Fallsburg in the Catskill Mountains region of Sullivan County, New York, an area that once supported dozens of resort courses serving the historic Borscht Belt vacation communities. Designed by William F. Mitchell and opened in the mid-20th century, the course reflects the era when golf was central to the Catskills resort experience. Mitchell, a regional architect active primarily in the Northeast, created layouts that worked with the natural terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, a practical approach suited to the rolling, forested landscape of upstate New York. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the Catskill foothills, with moderate elevation changes, mature tree-lined fairways, and seasonal streams that come into play on several holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, requiring golfers to navigate sloping lies and approach greens set at varying elevations. Like many courses of its vintage in the region, Tarry Brae features relatively compact green complexes and straightforward bunkering, emphasizing accuracy and course management over length. The facility operates as a public course, serving both local golfers and visitors to the Sullivan County area. While the Catskills resort era has largely passed, Tarry Brae remains part of the region's golf infrastructure, offering an accessible layout in a scenic mountain setting. The course provides a representative example of mid-century regional design, shaped by the practical demands of seasonal play and the rolling topography that defines golf in this part of New York.

Getting there

Tarry Brae Golf Course lies in the Sullivan County Catskills, roughly two hours northwest of New York City via Route 17 West - a drive that steadily trades the Hudson Valley's suburban sprawl for the wooded hills and glacial valleys that once anchored the Borscht Belt's golden age. Stewart International Airport in Newburgh offers the nearest commercial gateway, about an hour southeast, while those departing Manhattan or Westchester can lift off from smaller regional fields and touch down amid the quiet farmland and forest that now reclaim this storied resort corridor. The final miles wind through South Fallsburg itself, a hamlet of faded grandeur and resilient charm, before delivering you to Tarry Brae's hillside perch - a layout that has endured long after the great hotels fell silent.
