 Nice course, rude staff, Jan 15, 2008

| Played the course with a friend in the summer of 2007. Had heard good things about the club and since I was living in Dutchess county at the time, it seemed like it would be a nice outing. That is until we arrived at the club. From the start, save for the pro shop, we were not shown any politeness or even a smile. The course, taken by it's self is nice, but certainly not all it's advertising make's it out to be. If you live close by it's worth a play, but would not reccomend a trip of any distance to play this course.

| The review about the former pro is outdated. Mr Carr no longer works at the Links.
The new pro is a true professional that treats all golfers, members or no members the same. The course is an emerald gem that is just an hour out of NYC. It has been chosen twice as a qualifying site for the US Amateur Open.
Leave the driver in the bag for all but 2 holes. Shot placement is a must for this course. A great way to hone course managment.
Just because one has a bad experience does not make the course bad. Give it another shot and you wil be amazed. Chosen by Surburban Golf Magazine as the top new public golf course for the year 2000. |

| The Links requires careful play. Bunkers are everywhere requiring careful study of the course book provided with your scorecard. You have to manage the course. For example, I had a four Iron shot into a green with a large deep bunker in front and junk immediately behind the green. I took a seven iron and played it short and to a safe area to the right and then a pitch shot onto the green. Played for a bogie and avoided the double or worse.
This is not a course that gives up low scores, expect to score higher than usual. Expect to loose balls, the rough and ponds make that inevitable.
Course is not for beginners, occasional players, or emotional players. |
