Soldier Hollow Golf Course

We played the Silver course as a threesome before Memorial Day. It’s an amazing course with almost no trees, which leaves you with a shot at the hole almost every time. I say almost because there were some spots that seemed to be trying to imitate rough at Bethpage Black. Pros: fairways were tip top shape, greens were firm yet receptive to shots from any distance, never had a problem with pace of play (we were the only ones on the course for the last 5 holes). Con(s): the only flaw or problem we had with our experience was the fact that it didn’t seem like anyone fixed their divots. As good as the course looked and as great as everything was fixing divots could take this course to the next level. Lots of dead spots from unprepared divots.

Beautiful views. Incredibly challenging greens. Price was increased on a holiday, and the every 9 minute t-times packed in so many golfers that our round took 5 hours with waiting on every hole, and the group behind us breathing down our necks to be our live audience on every t-box. The fairways were SOAKED to the point of puddling and very muddy shots from the middle of the fairway.. we played early on the 4th of July, so maybe it rained super hard for several hours the night before?? (We didn’t see any rain in the forecast, so maybe just sprinkler schedules.

Fun and challenging course, friendly and helpful staff, amazing views
