NO DRIVING RANGE

This driving range is a 14 minute drive (9.1 miles) but could be much longer due to construction on the Newburgh Beacon Bridge. Another option is Orange Countys' Stony Ford Golf Course (1211 Route 416, Montgomery, NY 12549) which is a 23 minute drive (16.3 miles) from Powelton, but you do not have to worry about the bridge construction.

 

Be careful, arriving late to a starting time due to traffic does not warrant waiving the penalty under Rule 5.3a.
