Reviews of Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course

Amy Madden

Love this course! Such a gem so close to Manhattan and the first public course in the United States! It is just a great city course. Be prepared to wait if it is a weekend, but overall worth it!

CM F.

It's so beautiful here. You can go golfing, or you can just go for a walk aroud the lake and appreciate the beauty of the Nature.

Been coming to this course since the time I first picked up a golf club. I've had good and bad experiences, but after not playing it in a few seasons, I was as impressed as I've been there. Especially considering we were playing on a random 60° day in February! The renovated first tee box was opened as well as the practice putting green finally! Greens were in as good of condition as I can recall and most importantly, the girl behind the counter at the proshop and the gentleman starter were not just polite they were overly pleasant. Don't know that I've ever encountered that before! Well done VC! Looking forward to returning more often this upcoming season.

Nice place for a walk with family

Great course to visit when you're planning a golf outing. We played 18 holes. Some were challenging but fun nonetheless. Add this course to your schedule and enjoy.

Victor Maldonado

Out of the 5 NYC run courses, this by far is the best. Chris has been doing a fine job managing the course and the staff is helpful and sometimes humorous (a grumpy bunch from time to time). The course plays well and I appreciate the 2 long par 5's (holes 2 and 12). They are my favorite holes on the course. The greens on 7, 12, 13, and 17 are very challenging. I truly enjoy playing a round during the weekdays. Once they update to electric cars, bring back the cart girls, and repair some awful tee boxes, I will give them 4 Stars. They are not getting 4 star because it's a 4 Star course. This is hardly the case. I would give it 4 stars because, it's an enjoyable round, the staff is okay and I like the clubhouse's atmosphere.

Love this area. I've been in this area for over 48yrs. I'm sure it's a great course relative to New York. One thing that'll never dissappear is it's elitism.other than that, It's a fine institution. The nature surrounding it is ideal for it being in the Bronx. Diamond in the rough, for sure.

Vany is the oldest public golf course in the USA (as per my knowledge). It has historical significance in the realm of manny courses. Sadly it hasn’t made its presence known as other courses like bethpage, winter park golf course in Orlando which is now a historical heritage park. Vany also has the original lockers and the aura inside the club house is vintage. The front 9 misses frequency to rattle up the feeling, but the back starts hitting the soul with fantastic 14 - 18 finishing holes. Even from NY, I was surprise to see Lack of friendliness hovers around the club, it is however boogie Bronx. But was surprise to see Little Attitude enter Vany soul. Times are changing as the young blood enters the game of frustration and missed opportunity. In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and city makes its presence known on certain holes, highway running next to fairways. green fairways within concrete jungle. A historic course that needs to be in heritage books since yesterday.

This is the park that I grew up playing cricket. One of my favorite park in the city. I wish the park department never took away two of us pitches. It is unfortunate that they took it away from us. But thanks to the park department for giving us the space and giving us a place to enjoy our weekends. I wish there more bathrooms. Anyways I’m looking forward to next season. Enjoy all three sports in the park!

Jim Nugent

Best shape I've seen it, in 25 years. Tee boxes still a mess, but fairways were solid and greens were perfect. We also got done in 4hrs which is rare for Vanny.

Hiếu Như NGUYỄN

Beautiful course but marshals on duty must go out onto the course to maintain the normal pace of play of golfers!

Anatole Cronrath

Great muni course. Well maintained. Pace of play can get brutal on the weekends, partially bc they roll groups our every 9 minutes but also because the course has loads of beginners. That being said great course for beginners and mid cap guys alike. Staff is great, head pro treats everyone great too.

Kyle Goans

The course has a bit of a strange layout, which being in NYC I get, but due to the long distances from green to tee boxes, the guy in the club house should have at least suggested renting a cart. The greens were in good shape. Small, but enough undulations to still be a challenge. The course as a whole looks beautiful with a lot of trees lining each hole. The fairways and rough did not have enough grass which resulted in too many balls coming to rest on dirt. The sand traps were in good condition with plenty of sand in them. I'd like to give 3.5 stars but since that's not an option I gave them 4. I also find that the green fees are a bit steep for a public city course. I paid $40 to walk. I'll play here again because it's the closest course to my home in the Bronx, however there is plenty of room for improvement.

Sean Cushing

It's a love-hate thing with this course. It's close to Manhattan, I know every nook and cranny of this place, on a weekday it moves, given how many rounds are played here... those are all positives. When it's backed up, it's slow going; when the grass refuses to grow in certain spaces, have fun hitting off hard packed bronx dirt; when the wasps and hornets are buzzing around the 4th and 5th holes... run for cover. And the hamburger at the halfway house... avoid ...at all costs and opt for a dog instead. But it's home. And not savagely expensive. And a decent on course beer selection. And it was Babe Ruth's home course too.

Joshua Wilson

I'm puzzled by the high ratings this course is receiving. I feel bad giving less than three starts, but it probably deserves less. Here's why: -Rangers were moody. Considering lack of signage directing us to the first hole (quite a ways from the clubhouse), at least some form of greeting would have helped. Also found and delivered lost head cover (which someone was currently seeking, it turned out) to one ranger and not even a thank you. Strange. -Tee boxes and bunkers are hideous. In the bunkers we were literally hitting off dirt. Most tee boxes were overgrown on also dirt. -Several greens were rough. I'm not being picky--I know I'm on a public course. But for several puts it would have been sheer luck to sink the put, due to dead patches. -I suspect this course is being mismanaged. We were rained out after 11 holes, and I asked for a partial rain check (it's links style course so you can't get 9 hole rain check). A kind lady in the shop got the manager, and when he came out I thought he was one of the maintenance workers--jeans and a t shirt, and he said "Hey what's up?" When I asked for a rain check he said no. I said that I'd paid 95$ to play 11 holes, and is a partial credit possible? Maybe even free cart for next round, anything? Total refusal. I understand this may be the policy and he is sticking to it, but he was curt and unprofessional, did not even try to find some positive. Not even, "I'm sorry but that's our policy." Just "No I can't do it." Okay... -Didn't want to spend yet more money but we were hungry. Although it was 1:00, nothing was being made in the rather uncozy grill room area. There were workers there talking with regulars. We stood for a while to ask if burgers or dogs could be made, but after a wait we grabbed a croissant. Still nobody took the cue to come over so we could pay for an overpriced croissant after an overpriced 11 holes. This has potential to be a great course. Not a bad layout, unique setting, great history. But they need someone who knows a little about course maintenance (one guy was out pulling a huge blower clearing leaves, but there were hardly any leaves--maybe work on renovating some of the bunkers and tee boxes?) and someone who knows how to create a good clubhouse setting and treat their customers with respect. There were a few nice people, for sure, but we left feeling undervalued. If you're looking for a decent golf experience in the area, Pelham Bay is better.

James White

Great park space in the Bronx, the more commonly used areas are kept in great shape however the trails are seriously in need of some upkeep. There’s so much history in the park that is just neglected. The geese and swans are also not afraid of people and certainly expect you to feed them, kinda like this guy lol

Dorshay J

We like going to the pond and watching the swans, ducks and geese. Its nice to walk the path, but I wish they did a better job on maintaining it.

Melanie Wesslock

Great public course in nyc. Played a 4 hour round on a Monday w my son. Amir in pro shop was helpful and pleasant. A challenging but fun course.

Alex Levy

Fun course to play right in the Bronx. Tee boxes could definitely be in better condition, but the course history and nice greens make you forget about them.

marybeth griffin

It is a beautiful place to enjoy some quiet time.

Baileys Corner

Best of the NYC courses. Can get backed up on weekends. Course conditions can vary, as it's heavily used, and there may be a bare spot here and there. Tricky little track as course management definitely comes into play here. Put away your driver and opt for a long iron on some of the shorter par 4s. Avoid the hamburger like the plague at the halfway house and go for a hot dog instead.

Brian F

Is the course amazing? No it isn’t... but is the history behind the course outstanding... YES!! Oldest public course in the country and in NYC! This is a must! What a gem!

Dave

Favorite public course in the five boroughs. Well groomed and challenging.

Enid P.

Beautiful grounds. However should be integrated into the rest of the park a bit more seamlessly.

Iftikhar Bhatti

It was a wedding ceremony. Beautiful place with lot of natural beauty. Park, greenery and water side.

Van Cortlandt Golf Course is located in the North Bronx close to the Yonkers border. It is the oldest public golf course in the USA. Known as "Vanny" by the locals, it is the most easily accessible NYC course to mass transportation. The # 1 train leaves you just a short walk to the course. Over the years many famous people have played at Van Cortlandt. They include Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Joe Lewis and the Three Stooges. Under new management, Van Cortlandt features seven new greens, new tee boxes, additional cart paths, improved bunkers, and dramatically improved drainage. The cost of these improvements approximates one and a half million dollars. The architect in charge of this renovation is Stephen Kay. This golf course, situated in a park-like setting, is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of NYC without ever having to leave the City.

Nieves Lorenzo

Great family day fun. Golfing, trails, picnicking and tennis. Catch cricket, softball, and soccer games during spring and summer.

Andre Caravello

Always therapeutic to walk the trails... Sit on a bench and breathe... Workout every way possible... Enjoy time with family... Date night... or day...

S. Richard Grant

Birthplace of American public golf but it’s hit or miss as a well trafficked public course in the worlds best city. I’ve played it in great shape and marveled. More recently I’ve played it and left completely disappointed. Easy to get to via 1 train if you don’t have a car but if you have a car, you probably should play a different track with better greens.

Michael Hopkins

My favorite place to play in NYC. It’s in good condition for a municipal course. Some of the holes are harder than they appear.

Bronx DJ Larry

Antiquated electrical service at the location. Very friendly and professional. Food has literally been subpar and noticeable. I am too kind to give you the rest of my opinion.

Michael Evangelista

Well kept for a historic landmark (1st municipal in USA). I think it had good mix of some wide open holes and challenging slopes, tighter fairways small tough greens. I was not happy with the tee cashier that day as he strongly requested a single payment rather than each. No long wait line and we wanted to pay separately. I say course is a 5 star due to my 1st points but had to knock 1 star because of poor customer service.

Mark Kabbash

The Empire State Trail rolls through this great park. Govidat.com

Dayne Richards

The staff here is great regarding hospitality and friendliness. The course itself is not very long but the way it's set up, it can still be a bit of a challenge to the bogey golfer. Longer, straighter hitters may find this course super easy because most approach shots will require a wedge or short iron in. The course conditions are sub par but considering accessibility, it's an ok track to get some reps in. The greens may be slower than most public courses in this area but there are a few with some really drastic slopes that can still be a bit of a challenge.

Scott Lloyd

It's a big course with challenges for every level. Hard to play without a cart.

Jean Villarreal

You can walk, used bike, see duck, play golf, running, cross country race, adventure

Scott Carpenter

It's still early in the season and I know it's a public course, but the tee boxes had no markers, aside from some twigs. The greens were either really hard and fast or soft and slow, making putting a frustrating experience. That said, we had a great time out on a beautiful spring day. And I love those crazy last three holes!!

Anacleto Lucas

Just a relaxing place to come and sit on a beautiful day and watch the swans and enjoy the breeze.

Yaritza Diaz

I had my baby shower here on 11/3/18 and it was truly a wonderful experience. The owner was extremely helpful in guiding us toward the right Set up. He knew I wanted my event on the deck and though it was very windy, he made a few suggestions and made it happen. The staff was very helpful and did their best to make the day go as smooth as possible. They allowed me to set up early and provided me with the chairs, tables, and linens. I was given freedom to decorate however I wanted!! However the deck doesn’t need much decoration, it’s beautiful on its own. It went well with my fall themed shower. I was able to fit 14 round tables each one with 10 people and there was still enough space to dance and play games. I would definitely host another major event here. I loved it!!!

Nick Della Rocca

Old nostalgic golf course dates back to 1895. Tee boxes are in bad shape, because of amount of play. But greens are in great shape.

Rodney sipes

Great Place to learn, The condition of the course has improved slowly over the last 5 years. The greens have been more consistent. The layout is a bit forced in certain stretches of holes and the crowds can be annoying if you tee off to late on a nice day. Love to take my oldest son there late in the day as the crowds have dissipated by then. Great experience overall

Vince S

Beautiful spot to watch birds beef with each other. Bring the family, place bets : )

Isaiah Singer

Great public course that's close to the city. You would expect a small golf course in New York City but Van Cortlandt is long and wide open. If you want a nice 18-hole course that isn't expensive within reach from New York City's midtown, then this is the course for you.

Michael Rabadi

Great, laid back atmosphere. They are accommodating and everyone there is very friendly. I shopped around for a regular course and this one stood out far above the rest. The course is laid out very well. There is a place to grab burgers and hot dogs on the 12th hole. The food is excellent there actually. The course has a good mix of challenging and easy holes. Certainly not the hardest course I've been to, but definitely the most diverse I have found in the city. This has become my regular place to play.

Tuyen Le

I love this course I love everything from this course (interesting layout, fairway, green, nature and price) but the first tee-box. It seems that they never want to fix or change the plastic one. I have seen it there in at least two years already. Just don't know why.

B. Led

I really enjoy this course and think its great value for money. The staff is very friendly and easy going, the facilities are pretty good with a pro shop, restaurant, bar, and clean bathrooms. The course itself is not ridiculously over challenging like Ferry Point but it's well kept, nice greens, and there are some difficult holes. I live in the Manhattan so this is a great place because it's easy to reach, you can usually get a full round in within decent time, and it's generally pretty chilled out and quiet.

Lina E Krakue

I really love this place. Since the quarantine I've been going through the trails on a regular basis and STILL I keep finding new trails. Van Courtlandt may not be Beacon or Storm King but this works well for being a local spot. The trails are isolated enough where you really don't hear traffic or other people just nature.

Dave Mandelbaum

Course is in good shape except for a couple of the tee boxes the first especially. The thing it's missing the most is a warm up area. And if you're looking for a 4 hour round you better come early. It's public golf and there's lots of duffers who have no concept of pace of play.

Dennell Ross

We took our Grandsons oit Fishing there

John Ludewig

There are many trails. Some for running others for cross country but I like the hiking trails. There is a large field that many use for different activities and soccer and baseball fields as well. There is a horse stable on the north end and a pool on the south end. If you like to play golf there is a course in the park as well.

Tyler Ruth

One of the oldest public courses in the country. Could use some TLC, Tee boxes leave more to be desired (especially on 1), green speed can be inconsistent. History alone makes a round here worth it though. The finishing stretch of 15-18 is sweet to play in the late afternoons.

Judith Nugent

This park has been a great place my hole life. I have cats that passed away buried there. It was a great place to go with family and friends. Had great BBQ's there. My dad played paddle there for 30+ years. My children were raised there... Well like I was, we frequently went there to play paddle or handball. We also went to the pool

MEL TREMONT

I've spent many a romantic days in this beautiful park. Many things to do and plenty of places to get lost in the woods. Picnic area , public pool , handball , basketball , baseball, golf ect everywhere around this park a tranquil river when one can fish.

Emilio

Pleasantly surprised for a public golf course in the Bronx

Deborah Montesinos

I went in to inquire about catering and the young man in there was so helpful and kind that I am having some friends stop by during the week for some food

James Cruz

Great place to visit it has a little of everything. Golf course, track, handle ball and tennis courts swimming pool, baseball fields, open fields. Transportation, the number one train, buses, vendors, playgrounds. The Van Cortlandt Museum, Van Cortlandt Cemetery. Trails. Bird watching. It's a great park for its size. Come check it out make yourself a great day.

Life Out Loud and Listen

What a surprisingly nice course! Really really cheap to play during the week. $27 during the week after 3pm with a cart, that's about as good as it gets. Me and my girl went and the staff was amazingly friendly which can sometimes lack in NYC. While golfing, I looked over and asked my girl, did you almost forget you in NYC? That's what it's like. It's an easy course, not to challenging, and the fairways and roughs seemed to be well groomed. The tee areas were a bit dingy, and it can be a hassle when you dont use a tee on pars 3's like me. Food prices are standard, and drinks are a bit on the expensive side, not much selection in terms of craft beers, but that's not that big of a deal :) Overall, it seemed very family friendly, pretty fast play so there was not much waiting. Definitely will golf there as many times as I can. Hope this review helps.

Nard van Hensbergen

Drive it past the creek to enter the VCGC Ed Hall of Fame

Christopher Yanaranop

Oldest public golf course in the US. A Bronx hidden golf gem with a ridiculous history stemming with all sorts of visitors. Course is kept in the best condition as possible, however divots are all over the place that other golfers do not take care as noted in the etiquette signs and score cards.The staff works their best given the budget and equipment. The course design has it good variety, there are some pesty insects especially on holes 8 thru 11. Sand bunkers need some work. Surrounded by 3 highways, and sectioned off to 4 areas thanks to Robert Moses. Overall a good experience, more of a city golf experience.

Jeff Seewald

Great to visit and play at the oldest public golf course in America. Fair, straight, and gives a decent challenge. Enjoyed several holes with great elevation. Fun!

luke keding

Best option for Manahattan golfers: Can walk from the 1 train, the course provides opportunity to hit all of your clubs, it might seem short if you're hitting your driver well, but several par fours make more sense to hit a shorter club off the tee. Kept in reasonable condition, it receives a ton of play so the greens can't be cut too low. Recommend for any City Golfer.

Alex Wall

Best public golf course close to the city. It’s a long course, a lot of fun and beautiful. The back holes are really something.

scott cross

Course in good shape , bunkers need some attention ( if you land them lol ) staff are friendly and helpful , you pass the drinks stand three times !!!! Food really good too !!!

Norberto Figuero

Always in great shape, highly recommended.

Tom Hall

Love the guys who work here. Place is overcrowded and tee times are scheduled too close together. Just played 14 holes couldn't finish Yahoos jumping from hole to hole, guys hitting 3-4balls per hole no supervision. Gotta be watched better Rangers could do a much better job where this is concerned.

유재신

Pretty decent course very close from NYC. It was little too crowded, lack of staff members to ask questions or buy drinks. Better off bringing your own drinks.

Michael Appell

Golf was enjoyable, weather was great, but my wife left a utility wood on our last hole. We cannot believe nobody turned it in! Doesn’t speak well of the Van Cortlandt Golf Course player!

Turn Three

Challenging hilly course, but crowded.

Max Madridejos

Excellent and friendly starter Forgot name but stater for over 30 years. Nice guy always smiling pleasure to talk with From Max madridejos /Philippine gold association

Raj Rana

One of the oldest golf courses in the country. A bit drier, with Fairways and greens showing their age. No driving or chipping range. Anyone living in NYC, a concrete jungle, will appreciate having access to this course. Play here quite often.

Decriminalize Marijuana

Honestly I was just passing by and I guess the red light was to long so the guy and the women who runs the cart on a forklift came late to work so she didn't had to advise for the rest of the people how joe biden keeps rambling non sense and gets away with it, but when I do I don't. Because if you did understand my review, you need to go get your self checked out.

Pelden Dorji

Course is nice but the Manager was rude and swearing at golfers.

W. Dyer Halpern

Lovely course with lots of trees. The final three holes are a ton of fun to play. Winds its way throughout the Bronx, never losing an urban feel in a secluded environment. Affordable too.

Michael Ye

Course in good shape. Played my best round the other day there. Fun course!

Rick Lopez

Huuuge and great level walking. Tons of forest paths

by Carmen Custom Cakes

There along the pedestrian walkway, you will find the test stine columns used to build Grand Central station. Pretty amazing. The Bronx, a happening hub back in the day.

Tianbo Li

The 4.2 rating which is higher than Forest Park is a little misleading. The fairway and greens are definitely 2 tiers below Bethpage. While we were playing, the course had lawn mowers starting from hole 3 all the way until hole 17. I mean, 1-2 holes I can understand, but having that sound on while you golf is extremely annoying, BUT the MOST important is how am I suppose to alert you that I'm about to hit my ball? The biggest concern is the ball hitting one of those guys. It is beyond me why they would choose to do this in the morning. Also, the mowers seemed to be always ahead of us.

Clarissa Silva

Vanny is a public 18-hole course with a nice mix of hilly and flat holes. According to NYC data, it is the oldest public course in the US with 6,096 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70. The course rating is 68.6 and it has a slope rating of 110. It's located right at the end of the 1 line 242st Street. For avid golfers: the course isn't well maintained, so be prepared to be on the course for a little longer since it is a slow course. For beginners and for fun: there is no practice range. Overall, though, for a public course in a public park, it's nice and has some challenging holes.

A K (NYCPerformanceTennis)

It's a fun course for any golfer--I'm an average golfer who loves the sport and the course offers great challenges for me. Never a dull moment. No driving range, of course. Mosholu Golf Course, which is right across, has a driving range and a compact 9-hole course which everyone plays the whole 18 and the traffic jams there are horrific--almost like the I-95 in rush hour. Many good players do play at Vanny, as it is aptly known among locals and they find the course fun as well. The traffic within the course can be tough, but early bird and twilight hours are best (one can finish a round in 3-hrs or less). If you decide to tee off anytime after 10am or noon, expect to play for a good 4-5-hrs. Yes, bring aspirin and your unlimited data plan to fiddle around while waiting to hit between some of these holes. Decent and (somewhat) helpful staff... Food is ok, but I wouldn't pay for it since the quality is so-so. Go for the brew, as that is still expensive but at least you can't go wrong with it.

Chozen Cruz

A spot for everything!!! Barbecue,pool,tanning,fishing,all sports easy access by bus and train

Chris Ramos

Beautiful golf course, quiet and enjoyable. Feels like another world.

Mina Latifi

I love this park! Nice trails and amazing nature around you. Great place for picnic too.

raheem davis

Today was the first day and as you can imagine there were plenty of folks outside enjoying the opportunity to play. Was disappointed at the lack of communication today at the course. Holes 15-18 were closed and a few temporary greens. That wasn't the issue, the fact that there were no signs indicating that specific hole had a temporary green was disappointing.

Malik Thompson

The golf course could be maintained better, especially for the steep price of play. No same in the cart to repair fairway divots, the tee boxes need seeding and more frequent location rotation.

M Rios

Nice park, there's a pool, running track, nature center, tennis courts. A pond to fish and on Fridays during the summer there are rowboats for the public on a first come fist served basis.

,john nardozzi

Oldest muni course in USA. 2 600 YDS PAR 5s..iconic lockerroom with moe, Larry, and curley, sugar ray Robinson, lockers..interesting course all around.

Zach Litif

Decent upkeep for a city course. But it's worth playing here just for the history of the course. Nice layout too.

richard jung

Very traditional and impressive

Karun Mukhi

The best course in NYC. May not be saying much but it's definitely a good escape from the city while still being accessible by the 1 train.

Young World Video Magazine

"Vanny" is Great!..it's an old course...not the most picturesque but it certainly deserves respect. Much like Rock Creek in DC, must be accurate or you'll loose many balls. A real player's course!

karl hickey

Good course, great last 4 holes. Good bar

E Berk

A taste of the good ol' days! Check out the locker rooms from the movie Wallstreet upstairs! It's a public club house dripping with history, and because it's public, you can just drift into the clubhouse and walk around.

Christian Lemon

Easy to get to from Manhattan, fair price for the round. Don’t expect to race around in 4 hours. Staff needs to work on hospitality...

Jackeline Suarez

I always come here to enjoy nature!

Kathy Karpin

My go-to place to decompress and relax. I routinely walk along trails, the track and hang out with friends @ the dog run called Canine Court. Frankly, I love this place.

David Ramos

Beautiful Place to Walk and get fresh air or do some Fishing in the lake with your kids and Family or go Golfing

유지인

We enjoyed a good round there. Very friendly and good condition golf course.

Gregory Uhrlass

Interesting layout.... there are little groups of holes spread out. Fairways are tore up as expected but there is enough grass you could play it so if in the fairway you could move it.

June June

Love it lots of space for golfing historic site been here for decades hidden gem of the Bronx

Mariska Browne

My go to spot for nature in the city. Waaay better than Central park. not crowded. lots of back woods

Gary Grover

Great spot for walking, jogging, soccer, baseball, football, picnicking - outdoor activities. Right by the last stop of the '1' Train, going North from Manhattan.

Karina Gil

Lovely and peaceful place ☺

Richard Roman

Great bike trail from Bronx to Westchester. No traffic to navigate just bikes and people walking.

Brett Deutsch

I always enjoy Van Cortlandt. The course is long, has nice variety and is affordable. But it's a NYC course so you have to know what to expect, like some beat up greens and some slow play.

Mich Matos

Very nice public golf course. Challenging but not overly difficult. Good length. Behave off the tee or pay the price.

John Messina

Greens were pristine... Course was well maintained especially for this late in the season

Gun Ho Lee

Well maintained golf course around the park. Fun holes and friendly staffs.

Erick Sossa

Very nice experience. Also, saw a Hawk scoop up a squirrel. Squirrel broke free but what a show it was.

Patrick O'Connor

Great course. Highly recommend it!

Gouda 217

Biggest park in nyc , tracks trails, baseball field nd soccer . There is also horse stables ,swimming pool nd picnic areas

Jimie Holder Ortiz

They have great spaces for BBQ and there's a pool as well. A good place to bring the family

pauli7four

Beautiful sprawling parkland course, a few tricky holes but not overly difficult, friendly staff and good food and drink. Would definitely go back!

Patrice Murrain

It's a nice quiet environment, great for families. It has several cricket fields and areas for children to play

유성환

Teeing ground bad no grass.... cart fee too expensive. course conditions not bad

Haider Rizvi

It's open, green & having all required facilities of a good park .I really appreciate it's up keeping by its management/staff.

Ed García Conde

This historic range is America's first public municipal golf course located in New York City's third largest park.

Wesley Brown

Myrna Cruz

A very peaceful and enjoyable afternoon with my partner and puppy. Nice park with nice people. No rowdies 😊. …

Tongtong Wu

Great shape in November. Love the fall view too.

Jared Erickson

Nice course for a change of pace. Get an early tee time if you don't want to have a 5 and a 1/2 hour round

James Rogge

Tee house was well equipped. Lots of member's bounces on the course

Vladimir Morales

Good for exercise, walk,play ,is really fun

Ambrose Johnson

Beautiful and historic course. I would have added a star if the greens weren't so slow...recently aerated.

Jay Medina

Love the pool great place to take kids when on budget 😜 (free) …

victoria vazquez
