2 stars because we were not warned that the course was badly burned out, the greens were mostly lost, and they had recently aerated with an abundance of sand. We liked playing this course in years past but not in good shape currently. Perhaps a discount on greens fees or even a warning in the pro shop would've been nice. We will try again next year.
Course was in good shape
Went for buffet after nine holes
Young waitstaff woman wiped a plate with the shirt she was wearing before handing it to me. I requested a different plate.
Buffet was $30 but the food was tasty, fresh and there was a big selection including whole salmon, scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict, variety of cold salads, variety of deserts, fresh fruit, waffles, pancakes, meats etc.
$110 for golf and cart for a course that is NOT worth that money, my group discussed maybe $75, even then I don’t see a return to this course. Numerous greens had brown or bare spots, overall shape was below average for a course to charge such a high rate. Apparently, they now have a membership option and I guess this is to discourage the public from playing here. Only reason for a 2nd star is director of outside operations Bert is a rockstar employee. He checked in with us a few times during our round and is just a super person. Only opted for here due to a tournament/outing at Copake country club. I’d play undermountain first before coming back here. Which I won’t do. This course is NOT worth the money!
Course has downgraded significantly in the past year. You pay an arm and a leg for greens fees but range balls aren’t only not included, if you’re not a member you cannot use the range, also the tee boxes on the back 9 are uneven. I’ve played at much nicer courses for similar prices, driving range included. If you want a great experience for similar pricing I’d recommend apple greens or beekman over red hook any day.
The course is great, well maintained, and challenging. The people in Red Hook and Rhinebeck are rude, miserable, snooty, and just make what could be a good time into feeling they don't want anyone around their one horse towns. Update, played in the Rotary tournament, and a Person who was part of the sponser's, told us we should sit and watch them eat lunch and not to play thru, SMFH, even the group behind us said their out of their minds. Nothing has changed, still the same nasty, miserable, toxic attitude. Also you can pay $80 now for a round of golf + the cart, for this wonderful experience, cheers 🥃
