Dunwoodie Golf Course — Local services in City of Yonkers

My sons and I came to play today. They are beginners and so I was very conscious of the need to not incommode other faster and more experienced golfers.

Despite my making this resolve clear, the staff chose to single out and humiliate my son when he was having difficulty on the first hole. He was extremely upset, as was I. We were then approached by another member of the staff to make sure we would be mindful of pace of play.

I then spent the rest of our time there timing other foursomes as they played and ensuring that we always finished every hole faster than the average group. We were far from the slowest group, as we were attempting to be mindful of others. Indeed, my sons didn’t hit far, but they stayed near the fairway, while most of the ”mature” golfers I witnessed spent a lot of time firing balls into the deep woods, which didn’t exactly hurry the pace of of play.

Nonetheless, I’m not sure whether because of our youth (we had a lot fewer grey hairs than the average golfer; and the grey hair set, I have to say, seemed to be rather lacking in patience!), but we were the ones spoken to when someone wished to play through.

After that, we left, having played just 5 holes, and having spent as much time waiting for other groups to play as we spent playing ourselves.

Dunwoodie, senior golfers — do you want your sport to die? Do manners and graciousness not have a place on the golf course?

I feel like a golf course should make a small amount of effort to be inviting to young golfers who potentially could be coming for the next 70 years, rather than being anxious only to avoid offending the impatient elderly. The expected value of the former is simply orders of magnitude higher, and as much as I adhere to the belief that we should honor and respect our elders, that does not mean we have to be unpleasant to the young at...

Played Dunwoodie today and found it to be in great shape, fairways and greens are well taken care of and beautiful. It's a challenging course due to the fairways being pretty straight, hilly and just enough bunkers (sand). If you slice or hook you'll be in a little trouble. Great course for beginners or average players like myself. The course also offers putting, chipping green and a nice driving range. If you're looking for a local course in lower Westchester play Dunwoodie you won't be disappointed and there's a nice view of Manhattan on the 18th hole. In addition it's a great place to host an event or party with a nice banquet room and outside patio. I base my reviews on convenience of location and price.

The golf course is in great condition even now when the fall is starting to take hold. It is well maintained and definitely will fill that need for golf if your looking for something that is just enough to get some swings in.

The front nine plays tight and you can ring up some high numbers on holes 2 - 5 and again on the short par 3 7th and 8 is a tight driving hole especially from the tips. Get through the front in decent shape and you can put together a nice score. Plays to par 70 with a slope of 118 and rating of 67.4 from the black tees (tips).

It isn't long, around 5800 yards but it's near the city and definitely worth a visit. There's a bar/restaurant which is reasonably priced and the golf course staff is friendly and courteous. There's a Pro on premises always willing to help and available for...
