Hollow Brook Golf Club, Cortlandt Manor, NY

This course is a true challenge but it is quite unique in its natural beauty. There are not many courses that are bisected by a running trout stream that rushes in the Spring and Fall. Higher handicappers will need to carry a full compliment of balls and loaded flasks to drown their tears. If you can get a member to take you there, you will remember it well.

A torture chamber!

This is a very nice course - conditions were fantastic and the staff were all very friendly. However, beginner golfers and golfers with big egos should stay away. The back nine might be the toughest 9-hole stretch of golf that I have ever played. Front nine was tough but fair whereas the back nine just punishes you. There is no let up and at times it becomes a bit too target oriented. That said, for an occasional challenge it is a great course.

This is a very challenging golf course. It is also quite beautiful. If you're looking for a great day of golf, I highly recommend this course, but bring your "A" game. Also, read up on rules related to "waste bunkers" as it may help you save a stroke or two. Fairways, greens, views and course layout are all top notch. Best of luck.
