Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Courses

Good one

I had my wedding at Split Rock and it was an amazing place! The wedding package, accomodation, the crew, the food was beyond amazing. They include two assitants for me and one male assistant for my husband! We had a blast!

Who is work outside he was really strange person we bought 4 players and 2 guests so, we brought 3 carts. But he was block the way without asked to club house. There is good course. But he was make ruined us that day.

Rarely get out on time, never any water on the course and there is only one cart girl for two courses. It's a shame cause the course is in pretty good shape.

The new crew at Pelham/Split Rock are getting it right!

In years past, even when the courses were at their best, the establishment warranted a 0 on a 1-10 for all aspects of customer service.

Now, my experience ranges from 9-10.

Starters went from surly to welcoming and amusing. Pro shop desk went from fumbling to ordered, helpful and upbeat. Example 1: Couple of Saturdays ago, I called up at noon and asked how things looked at 2pm for a single. Got the report: tee sheet wide open, but "playing about 5 hours now, should be 4 by the time you get here." It was indeed. Example 2: Showed up for a sunup round booked online at Pelham two Thursdays ago, and the course had just been punched and sanded. Shop had already moved us to Split, and told some folks who insisted on Pelham, "You're not going to be able to putt the greens, so are you sure?"

Excellent.

Realize, this is a municipal facility rivaled only by Bethpage for the number of rounds/course that are played annually. So you're going to get all kinds of folks on the courses. And, like all public-access courses in the tri-state area, a high percentage of them should not be allowed on until they have lessons in speeding play, raking bunkers, replacing divots and repairing ball marks.

As a result, you're going to see tee boxes in need of critical help (particularly forward tees). But you will find greens in good, sometimes excellent, condition. And you're likely to say what my friend Jim did on his first morning at Split Rock: "Wow, this is really NYC's hidden gem."

Again, two thumbs up for the new crew. They've made Pelham/Split Rock a viable option, not a compromise.
