New Paltz Golf Course — Local services in Town of New Paltz

New Paltz Golf Course is a special venue given its scenic and secluded location. The staff are professional and very friendly. The food, between Maggie Mae's and Garvan's, is fantastic.

There is a small driving range and two practice greens to accommodate guests, with one green usually designated for chipping. Overall, NPGC is a good option for golfers of all skill levels.

A delightful Irish Pub feeling in a historical home. The food is spectacular and the setting has an old world charm. Make sure you have a chat with the owner who adds that extra touch to every visit. The menu ranges from a Gorgonzola Burger to a wide salmon dish that melts in your mouth. Make sure to try the Roast Beef with...

Fun 9 hole track. We played in late season and the course superintendent did a wonderful job on the greens and leaf removal which is not easy in the Northeast. If the weather was better I probably would have gave a five star rating. Great friendly staff. Food and beverages afterwards made this and...
