Description: This scenic course overlooking the Hudson River was built on the former site of Letchworth Village, an early insane asylum opened in 1911 and slowly phased out in the mid 1990’s. The course plays along some of the old buildings, which are boarded up but give a old-course feel to this new and very enjoyable layout.

With an immense amount of land (195 acres of total property), the course is spread out and holes are divided by large swaths of dense trees, giving a feeling of serene quiet. There are also some beautiful elevation changes that make for great views of the river. Most holes are pretty open and the greens are somewhat large, but well-placed bunkering makes it an enjoyable experience for every level of golfer.
Reader Comments: A relaxing and enjoyable golfing experience on a beautiful piece of real estate ... If you know where to miss, it’s not too tough, but miss in the wrong place and you’re dead ... A real pleasure.
