And I can continue to quote much chapter and verse of this posthumous writing as the writing is near and dear to my heart - the gallantry shown at Fort Christina and more, the true founders of New York and I wish the good Peter Styversant were here today to drop a heap of learning about America on you who don't understand not just NY history, but America! Love it or be gone. Arriving at 5:45, I hadn't inquired as to what time the first tee ball hits the air, turns out it's about 8:00am. So I practiced my sneaky bump and runs, flips and flops and Texas toe downs. And player worth his salt has to know a multitude of great escape shots. So I lead the field being put out as a single with twins and fours amassing behind me and being 2 years removed from the short grass (due to injuries) I was a bit nervy on the 1st tee, nobody knew who I was, everyone else knew each other. Fortunately I ripped a low 3 iron cut stinger and I was off, still walking and carrying my bag, adding layers and subtracting layers as it was nippy in the mountains. I love the classic shallow and square bunkering design originally popular with architecture from the 20's and 30's. The greens rolled true but I couldn't buy a putt, not much break out there and putting off the second collar is doable. The fairways were in the shape to be expected for early season golf, what I should have done was pay closer attention to the unseen creeks that protected some greens and ran out along the sides. But I was the first player and I needed to set a good pace out there. Overall, the course played extremely fair, I can't give the staff enough credit for such fine service for me, attentiveness and extremely friendly.

Rip Van Winkle holds a special place in my heart…read more Not only is it the closest golf course to my parents' home and as such the place where I've golfed the most in the past decade (not saying much), but it's also the first place my brother, my father and I played after my father went through some very serious medical issues. We weren't entirely sure if he would ever be able to play golf again, so it was an amazing feeling to get out and hit a few balls with him last year. My father is doing much better now (physically at least, not that much better at golf), and so we try and get out whenever possible. This adds up to a couple times a year here when I'm in town, and accordingly, I am very, very bad at golf. Please believe that no one is mistaking Rip Van Winkle for something that belongs on the PGA Tour. When Greene County hasn't gotten enough rain, you may see a few brown spots out there. It's only nine holes, and generally pretty flat. However, it's an accessible, family-run place that I feel lucky to be able to play. It's affordable (kids play free too), and has my kind of casual vibe. I love that if I forgot to pack a collared shirt, they don't hassle me. My dad says the owner John is a great guy, and I like that his teenage son is often riding around tidying up the course. It's a true family biz. They do a good job too; the greens are well-maintained, the mountain backdrop is gorgeous, and you can't be sad about any day you spend trying to knock a little white ball around a beautiful grassy area. I suppose I can be sad about how poorly I do it, but I'm pretty happy here overall.

We all needed and clearly requested Rental Clubs and Golf Bags over the phone in advance because we were travelers from Out Of Town. We were all experienced golfers with established Handicaps. None of us had ever played the course so we were really looking forward to it! -Well manicured Orchard Fairways and Greens. -Beer & soft drinks available for purchase. Unfortunately no "easy to purchase" food or snacks at ProShop. A small "Grab and Go Fresh Sandwich Cooler Display" would be beneficial. Missed business opportunity there! -Clueless staff in ProShop barely greeted us and struggled to provide the Rental Clubs we reserved in advance. We were all charged the Full Price plus Greens Fees. After teeing off right on time, our group happily started play. By the 5th hole, we realized all our rental bags were very dirty and full of rips. One bag had nothing but a few tees, some old candy wrappers, no spare balls or markers. Most of the clubs were grimy and mismatched. After 9-holes we had to stop at the turn and go back to ProShop b/c one golf bag had five of the same 7-irons! Really?! One Golf Driver was completely dented on the back side. No Excuses! Plenty of staff working there. So Disappointed in the lack of Customer Service! We were friendly and courteous to all Golf Attendants. We did complete our Golf Round. Our Pace Of Play was excellent. We were always waiting on the group ahead of us. Unfortunately there were very limited logo Golf Shirts or any other merchandise available for purchase, at the end of our round. -Management can do better with small improvements in training their staff and prioritizing how they treat their customers!

Biggest complaint is that most greens had been aerated and had customary sand throughout. But due to greens not being rolled there were small tufts of grass patches on a number of them.

After playing 99% of my golf on the west coast over the past decade, it's really nice to play a lush, wooded east coast track. Measuring 6000 from the back tees, Egremont CC is a tough test. Water comes into play on 8 or 9 holes, but for the most part the course is very fair with tight little greens. The condition was excellent considering it was June and we had 2 str8 days of rain.
