Long and hard 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 24, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a really great course. The variety of holes are excellent, and though they tend to be on the long side, there are a few very nice short holes and one of the most scenic I've encountered, going downhill to pin at the water. The boxes are well kept and once you find them (see cons) their signage gives all the info you need to know to play the hole and (hopefully) find the next box. We played on a Thursday morning in September, so there was no issue with crowds or picnics as I see in other reviews - for us it was perfect timing.

Cons:

We met the course designer and one of his friends when pulling into the lot and they pointed out the first box and told us the signage was good. For the most part, 75% it was good, but on the back 9 we had some difficulty finding a few. As of late September 2015 there is a large dumpster placed right in front of the tee box on 18, which was really disappointing since it's a 600ft (yellow) or 800ft(white) hole, and it took away any chance of a good drive.

Other Thoughts:

I wish I lived close to this course because I could see it becoming a favorite if I could play it regularly. Definitely should be on any player's list of courses to try when in the NYC area.
