Such a gorgeous venue for our niece's wedding. Great views. Great food. Great atmosphere. Hotels were not too far away and there was plenty to do in town. read more

We used the venue for our annual Burns Night Supper and happily rebook every year. Annie leads such a wonderful, efficient team for events. The food is always fabulous, the attention to detail is fantastic, and their staff roll with all of our unexpected issues! We were so happy to have our event there! read more

Super impressed! Between the estate itself, the food and the staff. We had a surprise 40th birthday for my best friend. The Garrison is a stunning place, the decor and views are beautiful. They let me come to decorate prior to the event & I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Adam. What a gem! His staff is amazing. Everyone was so helpful and attentive. Last but definitely not least the food and beverage was awesome! All the food was so fresh and very tasty. A lot of us are industry people so we are super picky about our drinks and everything that Jenn made was on par to perfection! Also the two women who were staffed to serve our party, thank you so much! I will definitely recommend this place for any event. There was a wedding going on next-door and I was able to see the set up before the ceremony. Stunning is all I have to say. Again, thank you all so much! Shout out to Marie for being so nice and helpful! & and Chef! Thank you for all the helium tank help. read more

Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, professional, and high quality work! We had to have over 20 trees removed around our home and were originally told it could be up to two weeks before our work could begin - what a surprise when the crew showed up the next day, and then the next day, and then the next! We are so incredibly proud of the work done, the clean up that took place after, and the care that was given to ensure safety of our home as many trees were very close to it. We will highly recommend them to anyone and we will definitely use them again in the future. read more

This was a fabulous venue for wedding. Weather was perfect for outdoor ceremony. We moved indoors for reception, and everything was top notch. One small issue for management to make note of. Apparently the lights in the restrooms were on a timer. Automatic upon entry, but would shut off before leaving. Glad I had flashlight on my phone. read more

We attended a wedding here. Venue is beautiful. Views are great. It was a 65-70 degree November day so the couple was able to do their ceremony outside. Cocktail hour had a table of meats and cheese, bbq station. Which was very good. They did do past apps and the servers were constantly checking in if we wanted more or anything else they offered. The service at the bar was quick. The signature drinks they created for them were so so good. The windows overlooking the mountains from the main room were gorgeous. Prime sunset spot also. Bathrooms was huge which was also a plus so no one was waiting. read more

Wonderful venue for a wedding or special occasion with excellent food and magnificent views of the Hudson Valley.

This teview is solely focused o the golf course and golf experience. There are some things to really like here, and some things that need improvement. First, the course layout is challenging, but provides ample opportunity to score well. Second, the views are tough to beat, with sweeping Hudson River views, and glimpses of West Point across the river. Third, the weekday price point is close to Westchester County courses, making the experience very wallet friendly, cart included. MONDAY - FRIDAY Early Bird (before 8:30am) $45 18 holes $55 Senior* $50 Twilight (12 noon) $50 Super Twilight (after 3pm) $40 Junior* $15 Lunch Special $60 Ladies' Day Wednesday (incl. lunch from the Terrace Grill) $55 Carts are outfitted with GPS for easy distance calculations. There is an amply supplied club house with the usual assortment of hats, shirts, and equipment. There is a large covered space with full bar and grill just behind the club house. Food is generally fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. A large screen TV hangs in the corner for those looking to kick back and chill or catch up on the day's events. A new feature is the ability to order food from the cart - great if you are in a hurry. Overall, almost everything one could ask for! BUT...tee boxes need attention, our cart's food order was not noticed by the employee busy watching TV, and we had to wait despite using the cart order feature. My burger was almost raw, which we could not fix from the 10th fairway. The cost for a bag of 10-15 range balls is ridiculous. So a little attention to detail here could kick this up to a five star report... read more

DO NOT have your event here. They will close the facility, restaurant and host other events during your special day. They will not respond to your inquiries and also take your deposit. The management and wedding planner are rude, discourteous and disrespectful. They also DO NOT allow you to even taste the food and drink before your wedding. What a disappointment. read more

Came here for a wedding reception. I wanted to give it 4 stars, because the staff was on cue when it came to clearing dishes, and adjusting your seating area, but overall it took a while between the starter and entrees to get our food, and then took a long time for cake and coffee. There weren't THAT many guests at this wedding... perhaps 150? It was a decent size wedding but this place seemed to have plenty of staff to make it work. Even if the food was "made to order" (we had a selection of salmon or braised beef) it shouldn't take that long to feed us after the starter. The reception started at 3:00, and the restaurant made us wait in the tiny reception area because they weren't ready for us. Around 3, we had appetizers of cheese and a medley of hot food while the bride and groom were busy with pictures. We didn't adjourn to the dining room until maybe 4:30, and the starter came within 20 minutes. Dinner wasn't served for over an hour and there was such a gap in time that the band had people dancing BEFORE dinner to kill time. It could be a 4 star, but this review is 3 stars for the slowness of the kitchen, and the long gap between the starter/ entree, and cake cutting/ cake and coffee served. read more

We had a surprise birthday party for my wife last night. The manager James Brown (u gotta love the name) put together an amazing 5 course dinner with great wines for each course. James runs a tight ship. The help were on point. It went as smooth as could be. Super friendly, Not rushed, just right. The food was just sooo good. The salmon course was cooked perfectly, then after the salad, duck breast was super. Cheers to the chef. Everyone had the time of their life. The ambiance was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant! Memories of this experience will last us forever. read more

I love this place and have been playing there for many years but I was very disappointed to learn golf cart arrangements after being told when I made the reservation that it would be 1 cart per player. I get it but just tell the truth. read more

Can not say enough good things about venue..food .service,atmosphere outstanding...can't even make up a negative

My review is based off the experience I had with Annie while figuring out venues for our wedding. Out of all the venues I spoke to she was absolutely the warmest and most genuine contact I dealt with. She made us feel like we were family looking to get married at her home space. Although we did not book this venue due to the size of our wedding; I would highly recommend The Garrison and Annie. Both the space and she are absolutely beautiful inside and out! read more

Best place ever!! For a wedding this is the best place to get married! The food is delicious and the staff make you feel like home!!!! read more

I like the service here. They pick up your clubs at your car and they wash your clubs when you're done with the round. What i dont like is the maintenance of the course. I felt like it was a bit dry and the grass wasn't well kept. The greens are always fast though. Overall i like the course, and I'm willing to trek from lower Westchester here, especially when I can find deals like on Living Social or Groupon for this course. read more

Beautiful grounds over looking the upper Hudson valley mountain ranges. The restaurant on premises is sophisticated and welcoming.

From the minute we walked in we felt so welcomed! Mr. Brown showed us around and took care of us, he spent a few minutes explaining the garden to us as well as the views. We Came for a quite dinner, and although the views were awesome nothing beats the FOOD! We started with the rock shrimp tacos, they were great with a slight touch of spice perfectly executed. Then we had the lobster sliders, the lobster itself was exceptional...but the rolls do not skip the bread it comes on. We had upon recommendation the flatbread heirloom tomato and feta cheese...WOW the cold asparagus soup was very very good and quite refreshing on a warmer day! For the main course we had the lobster risotto, the best and lightest risotto ever! The flavor burst as soon as you took a spoonful, it will not disappoint and will be your new favorite! Desert...oh boy desert! KC the executive pastry chef outdid herself with the birthday cake ice cream as well as the cheesecake compote. I can say this is a new favorite spot! read more

A Majestic venue. Respect the natural beauty and amazing people. I always enjoy my time here

My fiance and I decided last minute on a Friday morning that we wanted to head upstate for a weekend out of the city. Our choices were limited because we were calling around on a Friday morning but we found the Garrison after doing a few google searches - we completely lucked out. When we first arrived we were a little worried because there were actually two weddings happening at the same time so we imagined late night noise, drunk people pulling the fire alarm etc. Still we decided to see how it went. We started out by dropping our stuff in our room, which had amazing views of the hudson and the nearby mountains. It was quite large and had a wonderful shower similar to what I've seen at places like the St. Regis or Ritz. We then went down and had a drink of the veranda before dinner and took in the views. About the only noise from the weddings was a few cheers from one wedding and the other taking pictures on an adjoining porch - so basically no issue at all. Just as we finished up drinks, the Restaurant Manager James Brown came over and told us all about the property, and gave us some wonderful suggestions for sites to see the next day as we were driving around. Dinner was wonderful - the portions were well-sized and we walked away feeling good but not overly full. One thing to note here is the dessert. The chef does "interpretations" of common foods and they are unreal. My fiance had a dessert based on the Girl Scout Samoa cookie - it was a caramel sauce over vanilla ice cream with a sort of heath bar toffee. Incredible. I opted for the PB&J which was a strawberry ice cream sandwich of sorts with a melted peanut sauce for dipping. Honestly I can't do either justice....save room for it and give it a try. After dinner we headed back to our room and fell asleep around 11pm - we never heard a sound from either wedding. I am not sure whether the walls were thick or we lucked out with two very chilled out weddings but either way, we were never bothered the entire time. Overall, our experience was wonderful - it was exactly what we were looking forward to, a nice getaway within an hour of the city, quiet with good food. We've already decided to do the same trip again next month. The only suggestion I would make would be to keep the spa open on Sunday. Bonus ideas for a day trip - head over to cold spring for the afternoon and walk around on main st.... read more

In an effort to save you time (and you can read on), book The Garrison today for your wedding...do not wait and do not spend any more time looking elsewhere. We had the perfect wedding at The Garrison with hands down the nicest and most attentive event manager Todd Smith. Our guests are still raving about the wedding, which may be the highest compliment for all of our planning.   If you're willing to place some trust in our review, then schedule some time to visit and see the venue and grounds. Our wedding was in mid-October 2016 (Saturday) with a spectacular view of fall colors, wonderful weather, and a gorgeous sunset. We couldn't have asked for a better day. October is a prime month for Hudson Valley weddings, you should expect to book at least one year in advance.  When we booked in February 2015 for our wedding in October 2016, we were the third couple to book a Saturday during the month (so 3 of 5 Saturdays in October were booked 20 months out).     We had worked with Todd and throughout the process he made us feel relaxed and confident in his ability to deliver on everything we expected. You should consider his list of exceptional vendors.  We picked few vendors from their list, including:  Florist (Judy Bilotti, Designs by Wildthings); DJ (A Perfect Blend Entertainment, David); Overnight accommodations (Hyatt House in Fishkill, NY); and Transportation (West Point Tours).  We also picked a few of our own vendors, who were also exceptional, including: Photographer (Brian Hatton); Videographer (15 Minutes of Frame, Kaipo); Jazz Band (Alan Quinn); and Rehearsal Dinner (Piano Piano Wine Bar, Anne).  All of our vendors were absolute professionals, were on top of everything, and did the most amazing job.   The venue has an upstairs area where the bride and bridesmaids got ready, the space has good lighting for both hair and makeup.  We had a first look and took pictures on the grounds, which are very picturesque. The wedding ceremony was outside on a small, well landscaped lawn with spectacular Hudson River views.  The rooms where they have the cocktail hour and reception have floor to ceiling windows, also giving almost completely unobstructed views of the Hudson River Valley.  There were plenty of food options and everything from the cocktail hour and entrée to dessert were delicious. The Garrison is keen on farm-to-table options with impeccable presentation.  It is important to note, the Garrison does have a minimum guest count for Friday and Saturday nights, when we booked it was 125 for Friday and 150 for Saturday. read more

This place is perfect for a small wedding. Great for an outside ceremony. It has unbelievable mountain views; a perfect place to watch sunsets. The layout is practical. The outdoor ceremony space leads right into the cocktail room which is equipped with a bar, restrooms, and a wall full of windows so you continue to see those beautiful mountains. The cocktail room then leads into the reception hall, which also has a bar, restroom and beautiful views. All the areas are simple in design but maintains flow and have modern finishes. The staff is well trained. Not only is food brought out in an orderly fashion but the staff is constantly working to make your experience one to remember; from little things like the way they bring out the food to refolding your napkin and resetting your silverware while you dance. The only recommendation: They just need a bigger dance floor. Ha ha. :)) I was an out of town guest and I absolutely loved it here. read more

The veiws were amazing, unfortunately the golf cart was not. The cart was very dirty and had very, very poor excelleration, the two guys we were playing complained about theirs and we couldn't keep up with them. I was pleased to see a ball and club washer on the cart only to find it filled with mud. The carts are supposed to be thoroughly cleaned after each use (COVID) I assure you these were not. read more

Fantastic venue for a wedding. The scenery is amazing, perched above the Hudson river with panoramic views through the mountains. Staff was very friendly and accommodated the requests of the bridal party very well including making a signature drink for the couple. Food was also excellent and the staff was like an orchestrated army. I'm not sure if the band was with the venue but they were also excellent. Highly suggested to make a special day even more special. read more

Never in my life have I been refused service at a restaurant. My friend & I saw several people leave the Inn wearing sweatshirt hoodies, and as we were attired in black slacks, collared shirts, & light jackets we decided we were not dressed inappropriately. Upon entering we asked for a table in the dining room, witch had about 10 tables. Nine of them were unoccupied. We were told to go to a gas station down the street because we had no reservation and they were "at capacity". All we wanted was an appetizer & a bowl of soup. I will make no further attempt to dine here, nor will I recommend it to anyone, EVER. read more

First the gold course is great- The highlight may have been our lovely dinner at the club. We sat outside and the food was incredible. They have an outstanding wine list for a small golf club in rural New York. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. Definitely a place that I will frequent in the future. read more

Great venue to attend a wedding. Fantastic views. Located in a very rural and secluded part of the area.

My sisters wedding was held at this venue. The service was outstanding. The people here were extremely polite and very willing to help. The food here was great as well. Thank you for an amazing time. read more

From our initial meeting with Todd Smith, Even Coordinator, about a year ago, we knew that The Garrison would be the ideal location for our December 1st wedding. Because there is so much to talk (rave) about, I will discuss each piece of The Garrison that makes it the most perfect place for a wedding! The Space The venue consists of two separate rooms- one that is ideal for the cocktail hour (The Hudson Room) and the other that is perfect for the reception (The River Room). Both have floor to ceiling windows with magnificent views of the Hudson River and the mountains beyond. No matter the season, the view is spectacular. The dance floor is large enough for the whole crowd and placed perfectly so that you can take in the view. Although we got married in a church, there is a beautiful space outdoors for a ceremony, if that is required. The Bridal Suite is a perfect space upstairs that is large enough for the entire wedding party to leave all of their coats, bags, makeup, suitcases, etc., with there still being plenty of room to relax for a moment between the cocktail hour and reception and touch up makeup. We stayed in Room 202 on our wedding night. It was very spacious, with a king size bed with a cozy duvet, plenty of space to sit down and relax, a fridge, Keurig, toiletries by FACE, and a lovely walk-in shower. It is an ideal place to unwind after the most perfect wedding day. The Event Coordinator Our Event Coordinator was Todd Smith. From the moment we met Todd, I was completely confident that our wedding would be absolutely perfect. He is the definition of organized and can put a vision that is floating in your mind, into reality. Todd is totally accessible by email and telephone and will answer any little questions that you may have, however silly or insignificant that you feel it may be. Throughout the course of the year, he kept us on track with reminders of what we should be doing and when. I could literally write about him for hours, but I will simply say that he made the wedding planning process a joyful, fun, exciting, easy, perfect, relaxing experience. He even reminds you to breathe. Perfection in the form of an Event Coordinator. The Food Oh. My. God. The food at The Garrison is absolutely divine. It should not come as a shock that the food rating receives a 26 from Zagat. From our initial tasting of the passed hors d'oeuvres, we were in food love. The choices are endless and you simply cannot go wrong. Our food package included 7 passed and 2 stations and people were raving about the deliciousness of it all! The salad course was fantastic and then came out dinner. This is not your typical wedding food. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection and the salmon was to die for. Everyone is served simultaneously at the table so that there is no waiting and no time for food to get cold. And trust me, the chocolate covered strawberries are well worth it. They were phenomenal. The Bar There is a bar in the Hudson Room during the Cocktail Hour, followed by a bar in the River Room during the Reception. The packages include top shelf liquor and even include additional upgrades. The bartenders were great...so pleasant and certainly knew how to mix their drinks. The Garrison has a "no shots" policy which I loved. The Wedding Day We arrived at 2:45 PM and were ushered in by Todd and his amazing assistant, Bridget. From the moment we got there, everything was perfection. The room looked AMAZING. It was perfectly executed and attention was paid to every detail. Todd and Bridget ensured that everyone was having a great time and there was enough staff available to ensure that everyone's needs were met. The Coat Check and Valets were very attentive and there were no issues. Cocktail Hour went smoothly into the Reception. The courses were served as planned, dances were danced, drinks were drank, and the party was perfection. I may be a little bit partial, but I'm pretty sure that our wedding may have been the best wedding ever, thanks to Todd and the entire Garrison staff. The evening ended and I was sad to see it go. However, Bridget and Todd escorted us upstairs to our beautiful room, where we were greeted by champagne, cookies, cake, and chocolate covered strawberries. We were able to relax and just enjoy the absolute quiet. The next morning we went to brunch at 11:30. Although check-out time was 11, we were able to leave all of our stuff (and there was a lot of it) in the locked bridal suite. This may not seem like a big deal to the reader, but trust me, it was. Big thanks to Todd, Bridget, Nick, and EVERYONE at The Garrison for making our wedding day truly the best day of our lives. It was the perfect start to our life together. Our guests had a fantastic time and have said that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. It truly was a magical winter wedding! read more

We had our wedding here in May 2017 and I'm happy to report the Garrison and their staff are absolutely perfect. From day one, Annie worked with us to plan our wedding day just as we envisioned it. She was full of great ideas and adaptable to our needs. With her calm demeanor, Annie makes the job seem effortless and as a result she completely eliminated the stress that can normally accompany wedding planning. I had complete confidence that our wedding day would be flawless. Day of, the entire staff brought their A game. They were professional at the level of a Michelin star restaurant; somehow helpful but also blending into the background so as not to distract from our friends and family. And did I mention the food is divine?! read more

Course is beautiful. Driving range is OK and putting green way below average. The staff is quite nasty, came here for fathers 50th birthday and we had rain in the afternoon which is fine, but making the turn on 9 no food and we were met with nasty staff who were not accommodating. read more

I'll start out by saying that it has the makings of a quality course - well maintained, nice very, good difficulty. HOWEVER, cardinal sin of a quality golf club IS NOT MAINTAINING A GOOD PACE OF PLAY. We had a six hour round waiting at nearly every single hole. This after reading on the website "And for added speed of play, we offer tee times at 12-minute intervals," and also being reassured by staff that they were trying to speed up the pace. Are you kidding me? Is this what the $90 green fees are for? I think part of the rationale is that they had an awesome group-on deal that has driven a lot of traffic, but should that be my problem? Com'on garrison, get your act together. read more

Nice golf track perched on the Bear Mountain with some spectacular views of the Hudson River and West Point. If you are playing for the first time and from the tips, it will surely be a test. Narrow fairways and some ridiculous pin placements. Not many forgiving spots. Plenty of blind shots. Some areas need better maintenance, but it was totally worth the $60 value (12:40pm tee time found through golfnow.com). Slope is 134 from back tees but I thought it should be a bit higher. Problematic for right handed players who consistently hit right to left with many trees on the right side. I would not advise walking this course if they offer that option. Next time, I will try their restaurant. Supposedly their weddings are highly professional. read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to go for brunch with close family and friends to celebrate our 10 year anniversary/surprise elopement. Someone referred us to the Valley Restaurant at The Garrison and we couldn't be more pleased. We worked with Mr. James Brown to set up a semi private section of the restaurant for our little group. Mr. Brown was super accommodating, enthusiastic and helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The staff on the day off was very professional and attentive and the venue was spectacular with mountain views from inside the restaurant. It was a magical event that we will never forget and we will be forever grateful that we held it at The Garrison. read more

For the golf. Really, really challenging course. But a great course nonetheless. The views, the layout of the holes. Incredible vistas on the back nine. Superior sunset and can see West Point, the whole Hudson River Valley from 10 and 11. Front will be tough. Bracketed in on both sides w forest, lotta trees, many elevation changes, hard to read distance so bring a range finder, that will help! Lotsa doglegs, front and back nine. Play and learn to play here, and you are a better (and more humble) golfer. Super great track. Could use some investment on cart paths and some of the grounds where dry turf/hard pan exists. But overall good and course is excellent. read more

Did I mention that Kristen (?- if I remember correctly- fabulous blonde waitress for our table) Hiked up a hill on the golf course with a tray of apps for the bridal party while we were being photographed ... you rock the socks lady! Most of the rest of us rode on a golf cart! read more

Our son and "daughter" were married at The Garrison on Sunday, August 18th and I just had to sit myself down and write a review of this magnificent venue! From our first meeting with event coordinator, Todd Smith, last year, I knew our son's wedding was going to be a beautiful event at this magnificent setting. Todd's staff is responsible, professional, friendly, extremely helpful, and cordial at all times. Todd is very well organized, extremely knowledgeable of all wedding activities and outside venues, warm and friendly, supportive and always professional. The Garrison is breathtaking with its amazing views of the Hudson Valley. The outdoor ceremony was set up beautifully and Todd met our every need! The separate indoor "cocktail" room was airy and lovely with fantastic views of the Hudson River and mountains. It's immaculately kept rest rooms were large and convenient to all our guests. The food at the cocktail hour and reception was plentiful, deliciously prepared and served by a most professional and friendly staff! Our guests were well taken care of and truly enjoyed not only the fabulous Garrison, but all the beauty that surrounds it. The gardens, walkways, and patios are surrounded by well kept colorful and beautiful flowers and plants and the interior rooms are immaculately kept, bright, cheery and spacious. Upon the bride's arrival, her every need was taken care of in a gracious, efficient, professional and supportive manner. Upon our arrival, along with our son, we were met with the same professional, kind, friendly and supportive staff....always with a smile....and so very complementary! Our guests continue to call us with amazing remarks about Justin and Marcy's most memorable and lovely wedding! Our BIG thanks and appreciation to The Garrison for providing us with a wedding day that will forever be cherished and treasured in our hearts and in the hearts of the new Mr. and Mrs. Justin Bonita! Diane and Lou Bonita read more

Have your wedding at the Garrison. Work with Annie Rozycki. It's the best decision we made as a couple. Annie is a life saver. She is SMART and knowledgeable. She gives you choices but helps you narrow it down when you aren't sure. Can't decide between light brown and tan napkins? Whether to change your ceremony location at the last minute from outdoor to indoor when temperature drops to 40s and it begins to snow in October? Didn't know you were supposed to put together a basket for the bathroom? That guest cancelled two days before the wedding?? She will answer all of your questions, big and small. She will guide you and help you during the most stressful times of planning your wedding. She is decisive, kind, and thoughtful. There is no one else that could have better planned and orchestrated our wedding. The venue is also SPECTACULAR. The view of the Hudson Valley is stunning. Because of the floor-to-ceiling glass walls, you can appreciate the view from anywhere. The food was fantastic too-- they even provided gluten-free meal for one of our guests. I am so thankful to Annie and the staff at the Garrison. Reach out to Annie!!!! read more
