Pound Ridge Golf Club

Beautiful layout only issue was greens had not recovered fron Aeration. Should have been discounted for conditions.

Called and asked about aeration. Told it took place two weeks ago and green was running smooth. Played the course the following week. The ball was not straight and bouncing. $180 per round in the afternoon is way overpriced for aerated greens. Disappointed that they did not give me an honest answer on the phone. Also bar/restaurant was closed by the time we finished at 6pm on Friday. This is not a place for quick after round drink and lack of atmosphere. Don’t expect to entertain clients or friends after a round. Probably won’t be back.

This course has a private feel to it, from the bag handlers to the players and the pristine condition of this bad boy. The difference is in the restaurant amenities but I didn't come to eat fois gras or play tennis.
The first hole is a challenging shortish & tight par four with a marsh pond behind the green. The greens are quick and undulating and you can ruin your round before you begin with a 7 on this short hole if you don't take the speed seriously. Anyway, it's pricey for a public course so make sure someone else is paying for you (and you lose some money to them).

I was looking around for 18 holes at public courses on relatively short notice over the 4th of July weekend. Found very few options, realize in retrospect that the greens fees at Pound Ridge probably help increase availability. That said, this is an absolutely gorgeous course, on par with Pelican Hill in CA in terms of layout and maintenance. Flawless greens, nice walk through terrain that makes maximum use of New England stones. Highly recommended. I did not access any off-course amenities, so not rated.

Beautiful layout,wonderfully manicured, pace of play was great, everything was spectacular!!

Had an amazing day exploring Pound Ridge, unfortunately it was cart path only which definitely made it less enjoyable. Staff was nice one negative was starter teamed my two some up with two singles which is ok, but let a twosome out just in front of us. If you split the singles up we wouldn’t have been holding up the foursome behind us. Pace was slow due to Cart Path only. The twosome finished 18 when we were 9n 16 green.

I've played PR roughly 10 times over 8 years. The setting is very nice, and 13-14 holes also. The rest of the holes are quirky but decent enough. A course where you feel many customers are wealthy enough to not care about value (sometimes semi guarded locals), finance bros chirping about $500 greenies, don't play enough to have/know better alternatives and/or corporate money generally up from the city. It may be a player's course but it's not a player's facility. The range is limited flight balls off mats (range grass tees have never been open when I've played and too small to be open consistently) and they curtail use of it (ironic given LF balls but I'm sure this is partially bc of customers arriving desperate to find something before a round lol but also trying to extract a decent amount of value for what they're paying or the facility doesn't have enough balls or staff to collect them on a busy weekend). The chipping area is very nice and 1 putting green good but they are all for limited practice to build feel before a round not for general practice. During rounds I've been paired w singles that have ranged from very pleasant locals to a guy that lit up a pipe (not tobacco) on the third hole. I wasn't confident enough to complain to the staff about him because they I didn't feel they would have done anything about it because it's hard not to have an encounter where you're not rebutted by the staff instructing you on a rule. The staff is there to instruct you on the rules and get tipped. For what you pay, you expect a lot and not sure you get it.
