Birdie fest for the 1% 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 30, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This 18 hole course sits atop one of the most exclusive resorts in the country. All 18 holes are in the woods, have signs, a gravel teebox, and DISCatcher baskets. Navigation is easy once you start and because of the relatively short course rounds can be played quickly.

Cons:

All 18 holes are short with hole 18 being the only one close to 300'. Holes 1 - 9 are the shortest and seem to alter between ace runs and 'poke and hope' (probably not the case when leaves are off the trees). Holes 10 - 18 get better but many holes still require a lot of luck to birdie.

Non-guests of the resort must pay $25 for a hiking pass and must park at the bottom of the mountain and either walk or take the shuttle up the mountain. Also day pass holders are not allowed in the rest of the resort so no drink in the bar counting your birdies for you!

Other Thoughts:

Room rates at Mohonk Mountain Resort start at $400 per night.

OK if you are a guest. Not worth the $$ if not 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great location/views
Decent variety

Cons:

Expensive if not a guest
Signage is lacking

Other Thoughts:

I played this when I stayed at the hotel. The best thing I can say is that I don't remember hating it. But the worst thing I can say is that I don't remember much at all about it other than it being hilly. It just didn't have anything to go back for. But, since it is made for guests of the hotel, I don't think they really designed it to be something that people would want to come back to play over and over again.

So I would say, if you are planning on staying there, bring along your discs. But it isn't worth the money. And I really don't think it benefits the sport, its players, or this site to be encouraging criminal trespass to sneak onto a course. And this course is not worth the risk anyway.
