The Rooms
Each of the 12 rooms is set up differently. All include a kitchenette, air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and basic kitchen supplies. The kitchenettes handle breakfast and snacks without needing to eat at the restaurant for three meals a day.
Rooms face the property. Some look toward the golf course. Others face the hillside and tree line. In fall, the views from the rooms rival anything on the course.
The Lodge predates modern hotel construction, and the rooms reflect that. Walls are thick. Ceilings vary. Each room has its own character. Most guests prefer it to a chain hotel. If you want identical rooms and a front desk concierge, this isn't that.
Location on the Property
The Lodge sits at the center of the resort. Walk to the first tee in two minutes. Walk to Lil' Piece BBQ in one. The clubhouse and pro shop are across the parking area.
This proximity is the reason to stay here rather than booking a hotel in Catskill or Coxsackie and driving in. You wake up, walk to the course, play 18, walk to the restaurant, eat, and walk back to your room. No car needed once you've parked.
Guests who book multi-day stays fall into a rhythm: golf in the morning, lunch at the restaurant, an afternoon on the patio or exploring Greenville, dinner at Lil' Piece, and a quiet evening in the room. The property has no nightlife. That's the draw.
Who Stays Here
Golf groups book the most rooms. A foursome that takes three or four rooms has the course, restaurant, and lodging in one location. No splitting up, no designated drivers, no 20-minute drives between a hotel and the first tee.
Couples come for weekends. The combination of golf, BBQ, and the Catskill foothills setting works for a low-key getaway without a long drive from the Albany area or the Hudson Valley.
Wedding and event guests fill the Lodge during private celebrations. The 12 rooms accommodate a small wedding party, with the venue, catering, and lodging all on site.
Families stay during summer. The property is spacious. Kids have room on 100 acres. The kitchenette in each room keeps snack logistics simple.
Compared to Nearby Options
Hotels in Catskill and Coxsackie offer chain-brand consistency 25 to 30 minutes from the course. You'll spend an hour per day driving back and forth, plus the transition from a generic hotel room to a Catskill foothills golf resort.
The Lodge trades brand-name amenities for proximity and atmosphere. No fitness center, no pool, no room service. Instead: the golf course outside your window, the restaurant next door, and 100 acres of grounds. For guests who value location and setting, the Lodge is the obvious choice.
What to Bring
The rooms have bedding, towels, and basic kitchen supplies. Bring your own toiletries, groceries if you plan to cook beyond coffee, and layers for cool mornings if you're playing early tee times in spring or fall.
Cell service in Greenville is adequate but not strong indoors. If you need reliable connectivity for work, bring a mobile hotspot or plan to use the clubhouse.
Rates and Booking
Room rates vary by season and day of week. Summer weekends are peak. Midweek rates and shoulder-season stays in April, May, September, and October run lower.

The Atmosphere
The Lodge is quiet. No elevator music, no vending machines humming in the hallway, no conference groups in the lobby. You hear birds in the morning and crickets at night. Doors are solid. The building holds temperature well.
Common areas have art from the Birmann family's rotating exhibitions. The hallway between your room and the exit doubles as a gallery walk. In the morning, light comes through east-facing windows and lands on the pieces the way the family intended.
If you stay for more than one night, the Lodge starts to feel familiar. Staff remember your name. You learn the shortcut to the first tee. You know which room has the best view of the ridgeline.
Nearby
Greenville is a small town in Greene County with farms, shops, and restaurants within a short drive. The town has no chain hotels or heavy tourist infrastructure, which keeps it quiet. Guests who want nightlife or shopping drive to Hudson or Catskill, both within 30 minutes.
The Catskill foothills put hiking, fishing, and scenic drives within reach. But most Lodge guests spend the majority of their time on the 100-acre property. That's what the resort was built for.
