You’ve seen the pictures of 16 all over the internet, but the rest of the course is equally thrilling. Massive piece of property with an out and back routing that traverses hills, canyons, rivers, ponds, and rocky outcroppings.

Great routing located above the banks of the Hudson River. Course offers a great routing with scenic views, especially on the Par-3 16th hole.

Classic Willie Park Jr course. Post Reno with the trees taken out has created a more open enjoyable round. Greens are fast & firm. Keeps asking you questions on each hole - fun round

Really fun layout that you could play every day and never get bored. Raised greens give it really beautiful scale and create challenge when you end up in the wrong spot.

Fully deserving of the #1 course in CT ranking. A great experience all around. A championship test with some of the toughest greens I’ve ever seen. Layout has a good mix of long and short holes and a few monster Par 5’s.

A very solid course in golf rich Westchester. Cool doglegs, some blind shots, some long, some short, interesting green complexes. Not the best course in the world but really good across the board.

Some forgettable holes, but the good ones were pretty good. A little too quirky at times, but in phenomenal shape. Met Open played extremely difficult, think -1 was a 2 man playoff

Course is really solid all around. Cool layout, interesting holes, a good mixture of different types of holes. Probably doesn’t get the respect it deserves because of all the good courses around it. Really fun.

My practice round the green was stimping at around a 12, after some rain that week it ended up being around a 9. Disappointing, but overall some really fun holes. 18 holes are kinda crammed into a small space so a lot of quirky holes especially on the back

Well maintained course that is difficult, yet offers the ability to score well. Not very penal off the tee. Difficult around the greens.
