Played on:May 20, 2018
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
-Very wide variety, tight wooded holes, uphill, downhill, wide open holes.
-Close to home, very few courses in the area. Mohonk Mountain House is close, but costs money/
-For the front 9, there are sign maps for each hole and usually a sign or arrow pointing to the next hole.
UPDATE March 2018 all holes have sign maps!!!
-Well kept, little to no garbage, trails on the holes and between holes

Cons:
-Gets very slick when it rains, we picked a poor day to go though.
-Had a little trouble finding first hole, it's not near the parking lot when the gate is closed. First tee is right near the entrance gate.
Update: there's a sign in the parking lot pointing towards hole 1
-Played 5/20 and the course was in pretty bad condition. A lot of overgrown holes. 12, 16-18 are pretty much unplayable because the grass is so long. It seems like you can find some good times to play in the winter/ fall when it's dry and the plants are dead. From my experience, the spring/ summer months tend to be when the course is in the worst conditions. Kind of a 50/50 on whether you're gonna get a course that's been maintained.

Other Thoughts:
I like that there's a course near me now. I'm from Wallkill and never found it worth it to go to Mohonk for a $25 day pass. Beacon and Warwick were the closest options. I love Warwick but it's a hike.
Played today (3/24/18) and the course played very well! The course was dry, no overgrown brush, no snow left on the ground. Besides holes 16-18 in the open, mud wasn't really an issue. The course has clearly seen some love and that's great to see. Tee signs used to only include holes 1-9 and now they all have them and there are a few next hole signs which make the course play smoother. Definitely try to get there right after the snow melts and dries up, because that gets rid of the overgrown grass, weeds and brush that was a big issue in the past. 4-4.5/5 for today, no doubt.
