Mountain golf never thrilled me, avoiding it at all costs but a cheap round from hot deals got me up there somewhere in the center of the city Yonkers. First breakfast and they served it at the bar - not thinking this is typical during the warmer weather as ambient temps hovered around brisk 49*. Bacon, egg and cheese on a roll with salt & pep, a Coors light and a shot of Jack. Breakfast and lunch service by the young barkeep was outstanding. His company of chit chat and recommended Yonkers golf tracks was most welcome. Glancing around the glade, the course is well woven into the mountain side at a sneaky 6400 yards of sloping fairways as you descend. On the practice range an older local gentleman approached me and delivered a summary that I quickly took down in yellow Sharpie and I'm glad he did. Managing your game, hitting shorter accurate shots is the only way to survive out here. When the holes slopes left to right, ya gotta draw it into it and fade the opposite way for us righties as balls settle deeply in the bog where the turkeys roam. The greens looked to have been airated (punched) a week ago, so they were mostly healed up, but putts did bounce a bit -- keeping an honest line and were quick from the back. After battling light hail on 18 tee - a par 3 and the cold front that was it's predecessor from 15, the golf day was done, totally dispensing my prior opinion of mountain golf. Back in the clubhouse quaffing steins of Yonkers Ale and making merry again, one eye on the sports tele, one ear on the sizzle of my burger a mere ten feet away and a hand on the Jack that keeps apoearing before me by the fellow to my left. Each little cook temp preference I gave was written down line by line resulting in the EXACT meal I was envisioning -- so double credit to my attentive barkeep and to the chef with the kind face and happy smile that delivered a doosie of a burger and fries. read more

Great place! Love the location perfect for anyone in lower Westchester. Cart girl was around with drinks at least 3-4 times! She was awesome! Joe and Christine (I think were their names) helped me buy some golf balls, and a new glove! Very friendly! And I teed off on time! Couldn't ask for more read more

Was here yesterday for an Outing for charity, most of the staff were awesome, apart for the girl riding aroung selling drinks, what a horrible person. Attitude and rude and a face like a bulldog! Tip for you Dunwoodie.. get nicer people on the cart you'd make way more money!! read more

I like this course. Fair price and easy to get to from Manhattan. Hole 18 is a downhill par 3 where you can see Manhattan in the background. Greens were fast and pin placements tough yesterday but overall would say the course is in good shape. I like the pro shop staff as well. Nice course / nice round! read more

Dunwoodie Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Few miles.. A 5 minute drive from home. This place is huge and pretty, still in good shape. They have a driving range with few stalls with a chirping & putting greens to practice. You can also see a great view of NYC from a far. They open early at 0700 till dusk. The only thing in the driving range the ball machine won't give your change, Altho there's a guy that works there all the time. Plus they don't have early morning deals like most of the driving range nearby. Still an excellent place to play and to hit some balls at anytime. read more

This review is for the management who run the bar at Dunwoody golf course. How in the world can you place a young inexperienced girl behind the bar alone on Saturday and Sunday. I was there on July 31st trying to pick up food between the 9th and teeing off on the 10th hole the order was lost one person in the kitchen she's trying to make drinks but she's not a bartender 11 or 12 people packed in that little room she was overwhelmed I felt so bad for her I feel worse for you because people were walking out not even ordering so you were losing money I understand it's very hard to get help so go yourself and work behind the counter I know it's a public course but I know that's run privately so no excuses read more

I was excited to play here as I was coming in from out of town to play. When I got here, there was no one to tell me where to go and no one got me a cart. As I stepped up onto the third tee, the sprinklers turned on, drenching me, my cart, and my bag. I called the front desk and they answered and said "Well what do you want me to do about it?" Maybe turn the sprinklers off!???? Definitely not how you speak to customers. On the carts, they do have sprinkler schedules for tee boxes, etc. So that is something you should be aware of if you play here, but the notifications didn't show up on my screen until after I had gotten wet. Overall I was just not satisfied and the staff member was not polite, but I hope this can help people in the future. read more

I went to get a park pass and the woman behind the counter (blonde, bangs, glasses) was SUPER RUDE AND NASTY! She wasn't only rude to the customers but her co workers as well. DISGUSTING. read more

Just outside the city limits of New York, Dunwoodie is a solid golf course with a solid amount of length, a driving range, GPS enabled carts, and a good value. While you'll likely need a car to get there (or some combo of Metro North + uber ride), it's well worth the trek north of the Bronx. Challenging, good greens, and most of the holes are devoid of any highway sounds from nearby streets. While I've only played there once, it's certainly on my short list of places to snap off 18 holes. read more

This is a great course. Relative shot but most shots are quite narrow and challenging.

Short course but I liked the set up. The greens were not in great shape, the carts have GPS and the pace of play was very good.

I have never written golf reviews on Yelp until today. This is my second one. Dunwoodie requires some good mention to all you city Yelpers because it's really close and in good shape. It's also perfect for people who don't play very much because it's really short. It's right around 5400 yards from the blues and 5800 or so from the tips. I was there over the weekend and was super surprised by the condition it was in. It's also a very strategic course and invites the long hitters on some holes. My friend went for a green and made it, which I never would have done otherwise, but I made it too! So people, go and play it! read more

A beginners course that is a little uninspired. They charge more than they should, but have a driving range which I like. Better golf to be found at Sprain Lake. read more

I just moved in the area so my boyfriend, roommate and I were looking for a fun spot to golf around and hopefully continue to return to. After finding this course, we thought for sure it would be our go to course for a day of fun. Not the case. We made the reservation on GolfNow, which was easy. Showed up, paid $50 (crazy for how unkempt the courses were, although it included the cart), $100 total for two golfers. The tee times were stacked up and there were numerous lines both in front of us and behind. I made the reservation for two golfers since I planned to just tag along. There was no option for "walkers" or bystanders, so I didn't made the reservation for myself (even though it stated it was available for up to four golfers). We paid when we arrived. It was easy and the pro shop was friendly. We then drove the cart to the first tee, and gave him our reservation. The man helping was cold, walked away, and came back to tell us that legally, they couldn't allow me to walk with everyone. I explained i wasn't golfing and just watching. Not acceptable. I had to return to the pro shop, which was originally friendly and welcoming, to explain the situation. The cashier was very upset I didn't mention I was walking and repeated this numerous times. Even after I explained that I didn't know it was necessary. I was then charged $20 to walk. I could understand a $10 charge for any green fees, but $20 just seemed like a massive up-charge after going through the course. After clearing up the issue, my roommate started to tee off. The man who told me it was a legal issue actually approached my boyfriend to tell him that he should tell her to move up to the ladies tee so she could keep up with him. If it was a friendly suggestion, he should have said it to my roommate who was directly next to him. At this point, sufficiently disgusted with the comments and situation at hand, we tried to brush it off and have a good time. Not two holes in, we're hit with sprinklers. All across the course. We luckily didn't get soaked, but it was just plain luck. Right after the sprinklers go off, we get a notification on the cart to tell us the sprinklers were scheduled. We attempted to call the pro shop, but no one was reached. The rest of the nine holes were met with waiting for the sprinklers to shut off, hoping we weren't in a spot to get wet when they turned back on, and just poor courses. I wish we were notified while making the tee time or at the pro shop, because we would have avoided that time. There was litter covering the fairways, making finding the ball near impossible, the cart trails were bumpy and old, the course itself was just ugly. We planned on spending the day there, doing a full 18, but after just 7 we gave up and had my boyfriend finish the last two. What was meant to be a fun labor day weekend activity turned sour from poor customer service, rude behavior, courses that need serious attention, and just lack of ethics. It's a shame since this course has such a prime location and a driving range. We expected much better. We will definitely not be returning and will be looking at other courses for a more enjoyable, professional experience. read more

Big fan of this course. Just 20 mins from NYC, inexpensive, and very fun. Lots of hills on the front 9 make it interesting, with some longer holes on the back 9. Well maintained and beautiful scenery. The guys in the pro shop are great, however one negative is that the old men who work the course tend to be quite cranky, bordering on rude/offensive. Nonetheless, a great option for city dwellers who want to avoid over-crowded NYC courses. read more

Dunwoodie is a nice municipal golf course with a great staff. The front nine is the more interesting track with tough holes on 4, 5, and 7. The back nine has nice holes on 13, 15, and 17. The driving range is a nice feature with both putting and chipping greens. Weekday rounds can easily be played in four hours, while Sundays will take about 4:30. read more

great little course for the price - $35 if you walk. It's quite short but, but plenty of elevation changes make it interesting, defintely as good as many of the other courses which charge $90 and up read more

I'll note right from the start that I'm a relatively beginner golfer. I've only played a few times a year up until now, but I'm starting to play more often. Overall I actually very much liked the course. There are a lot of elevation changes and while the course is overall very short, there are still many challenging holes, especially for us beginners. I'm sure more experienced golfers could rip this course up. Having a driving range on site was very helpful, although the ball machine took forever. For us who live in the city, it wasn't that far away. I actually took the metro north up to Yonkers and had a friend pick me up. The greens were really nice. The fairways were well maintained. The sand traps were kind of awful, but apparently they are in the midst of renovating those (not really sure what that means). Long story short, I think it's a great course. I'm curious how it will change over the course of the year. I've read some bad reviews on other sites, but I will check back in after playing there a few more times. read more

First time at Dunwoodie having played Saxon Woods and Maplemoor. Greens and fairways in excellent shape and all round a great game of golf at a great price. Nice easy holes combined with some tricky tight holes so a good test for an average golfer. Experienced golfers may find it slightly boring. Great staff in the shop and on the course. read more

The back nine is easy. The range balls are decent. The golfers are friendly. There is an area to chip and putt. Don't miss the retired gentlemen who hunt lost range balls like truffles and step on your line while you're putting. Enjoy! read more

Fairways and greens in rough shape.......there are better options on Westchester County - Sprain Lake and Saxon Woods

Dunwoodie is a very easy course which may be nice for beginner or high handicap golfers. However, it is perhaps the ugliest course I have ever played on. It is poorly maintained and easy to lose your ball due to the litter on the fairways and the grass left much longer than it should be. All this is bad enough but golfers are spaced so closely together you do not have much time to play at a normal pace without the Ranger driving up and telling you to move along faster even if you are waiting for the foursome in front of you. It is also not a course where ever golfer is equal in that the obvious "regulars" get special treatment. There are much better and friendlier courses in the New York area. Avoid Dunwoodie and try another course. read more

Love this course. It's a short course. The front nine is tight and up and down, so older golfers will likely prefer a cart. The back nine has 4 par 3's and a spectacular view on the finishing hole. The only water (sometimes) is from a slight creek in front of the third green. The pro shop staff is friendly and helpful. The snack bar (located in the main building) can offer you two hot dogs for $6. Unlike other slow play county courses, I often briskly walk the course at super-twilight in the summer; going out about 6 and easily get in 12 holes, sometimes all 18. Took my 10 year old out last Fall at twilight and she got her first greenie. My only gripe is that late at night you'll see a guy pounding dozens of pitches into the first green. Hard to understand how you can keep your course in top shape for the season with this kind of abuse going on, but, to be fair, having played here many years, it does hold up pretty well. read more

June 27th, 2016 Westchester Knicks First Annual Scramble Golf Tournament. First time at Dunwoodie Golf Course to play a round. The course is in very good shape and staff very friendly. Forgot my pitching wedge on the green and when I got back to the Club House and I asked the groundskeeper,, he said yes he found it, and back into the bag it went. That was very much appreciated. To the Knicks staff, I had a good time. To Dunwoodie, thank you for hosting the event, breakfast and lunch was excellent. Our foursome was 6 under,,GOOD SPORTS. Overall,Dunwoodie Golf Course, is an excellent course, you will enjoy it. read more
