Top notch

First time playing the course in the summer and I was impressed. Public golf can really be a let down in the NYC area but Galloping Hills was no let down. Greens running fast, fairways have great turf and the rough was consistent. The layout is fantastic with plenty of interesting holes for all golfers. One of the best public experiences of the year for only $45! Go play this course!

Some spotty greens

Great course,... a day at GH does not disappoint.

The greens were not up to their usual high standards.
Some were a bit spotty.

First Time Player

Well of course you can tell by the name, it's very hilling and steep in some points. It had rained the night before and we had to walk. There was no "cart path only" due to them not having any marshals on the course. It's a unique short course only playing 6500 from the tips which weren't open. Defiantly worth giving it a try if you're a beginner or intermediate, strong players will easily overpower it.
